Summary: Tiny Tim And The Bulldogs (Press, 3 January 1974)
The Tiny Tim Holiday Show will be held in Christchurch on Saturday, January 5, 1974, with a single concert at the Town Hall. Tiny Tim, known for his eccentric style and unique performances, captivates audiences with a blend of nostalgia and flamboyance. A description by Albert Goodman in the "New York Times" elaborates on Tiny Tim’s artistic persona, comparing him to a charismatic figure from the early 20th century, evoking images of the Moulin Rouge and the vibrant spirit of that era. Accompanying Tiny Tim on this tour is the Bulldogs Allstar Goodtime Band, a six-member ensemble that has made a name for itself in New Zealand since its formation at Wellington Teachers’ Training College 18 months ago. The band has captured the hearts of many Kiwis with their lively and entertaining appearances on the television show "New Faces." Their debut record, "Miss September," penned by a former band member, John Donoghue, is currently climbing the charts. The Bulldogs' act is rich in music, humour, and audience engagement, featuring an eclectic mix of instruments that produce a distinctive sound. Their performance setup is described as resembling a “mobile junk shop,” featuring unique instruments such as washboards and a didgeridoo, alongside typical choices like guitars and banjos. The upcoming concert marks the beginning of the Bulldogs' professional career, and they have also been invited to perform at the Royal Variety Concert in the Town Hall, an exciting opportunity for the budding band. The band members include Neil Worboys on vocals and various instruments, Richard Egan on vocals and jug, Brien McCrea on washboard, Kevin Findlater on vocals and guitar, Tony Hooper on vocals and guitar, and Brian Hayward on tea chest and bass guitar.
