Hi team, this week we mark the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the ferry Wahine at the entrance to Wellington harbour during a ferocious storm.

Here is the number 1 song on the New Zealand hit parade of that week. Yes, they were hit parades back then.

It’s Manfred Mann’s take on Bob Dylan’s Mighty Quinn and it’s still a good song!

And make it your mission to call into Little Fire Music Works on Dee St and talk music with Hayden and Toni, they’re bound to have the gears to help you sound like Manfred Mann, that’s if you want to sound like them….

Keep warm this week and crank up the music.

Cheers

Mal
