Love FLYING NUN? This-is-a-must-read-article !!! Graeme Downes and Jeff Harford....

Posted on May 08, 2014 by Irene Hundleby

Love FLYING NUN?

Ever wondered what this scene was really like in 80s Dunedin?

We so enjoyed this candid interview and thought you might too ... Check out the link below! 

Graeme Downes (Verlaines) and Jeff Harford (Bored Games) share some insight into the Flying Nun scene and life in Dunedin bands during this iconic time...

For those of you that haven't heard, in April 2014 Flying Nun re-released two great Dunedin Sound albums - the Dunedin Double EP (The Verlaines, The Sneaky Feelings, The Chills and The Stones) and Bored Games - Who Killed Colonel Mustard...

and yes if you would like a copy of either ... we still have a few copies left ... 

ENJOY!
