GUEST,Jack Campin Hamilton Folk Clubs In The Sixties (10) RE: Hamilton Folk Clubs In The Sixties 09 Aug 24

I was in Hamilton, New Zealand at the time. There was no folk club but several pipe bands, and at the end of the 60s, a bluegrass band started by a guy who was an overt CIA agent. They ended up as the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band (there never has been a Hamilton County, it's Waikato). I moved to Auckland (which had its own folk scene, probably also involved with the CIA since one venue was the basement of the United States Information Service).so I never heard them, but they got my brother interested in bluegrass mandolin for a while.
