Bill wrote: "My list is broken into instrument played and mainly pre 1979 in Auckland
I have no doubt missed some greats, for that I am sorry so please fill in the gaps.
I have also left out singers as they are usually already noted unless they also played an instrument most of the time.
Apologies for misspelt names."
