This episode of the Amp takes listeners for a night out at the Orange Ballroom on Newton Road, a vibrant, iconic venue where people would meet, dance and fall in love. We look at how Māori and Pasifika migration to Auckland’s inner-city suburbs helped shape the mid-century music scene. We also dive into one of the incredible stories from our Tāmaki Herenga Waka Stories of Auckland gallery and get to know Bill Sevesi and one of his band mates, rhythm guitar player, Buddy Wilson – now in his 80s!
