The four young Maori entertainers known a ‘The New Zealanders' Quartet’, now in England, recently made a two months' tour o American Army camps and Air Force station in Europe. At all bases the Maoris found that American servicemen were keen to hear about New Zealand and Maori legends.
The members of the quartet—Joe Ward Holmes, of Lower Hutt, Pat Rawiri, of Ruatahuna, Mac Hata, of Opotiki, and Henry Gilbert, of Waikaremoana—have sung on many B.B.C. programmes and given cabaret and stage shows in England. They were also in the film ‘The Seekers’.
