Auckland music legend on East FM, from midday, Saturday
He can be described as Auckland music’s everything man, because he’s done everything, and it’s with great pleasure we host Larry Killip as guest artist on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm (NZ time, Jan 27) on East FM.
Larry Killip is an Auckland and NZ music-community legend, and not only because he’s forever been the king of the broadcasting advertising jingle. There are many strings to his talent guitar. And he’s bringing that too, and recordings and the stories behind the songs – his and other musicians.
He’s the ideal Auckland music identity to spotlight on anniversary weekend.
In recent times, he’s been mastering for The Beths on their award-winning albums, and starring in a video (they’re very respectful to the man’s undoubted skills, knowledge and character), while his career in music stretches back six decades to the 1960s. I found an album, 20 Studio One Hits, Vol 2, of the early 1970s with a Killip track (Country Spring), and photo of a moustached, long-haired Larry, on it. Style of the day.
Everything man? Songwriter, guitarist (probably multi-instrumentalist), engineer, sound recordist, producer, and there’ll be more. Because he’s had a long and no doubt interesting and constant career in the wonderful world of Auckland music, we’re looking forward to hearing part of Larry Killip’s history of the Queen City scene.
East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And with it being Auckland Anniversary weekend, it’s appropriate we feature an Auckland music legend, Larry Killip. – PJ
