  • Stewart Speer: a Drummer Who Won't Let the Odds Beat
    STEWART SPEER: A DRUMMER WHO WON’T LET THE ODDS BEAT HIM by Eric Myers ___________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald on September 15, 1981.] his week the legendary 53-year-old drummer Stewart Speer embarks on a 10- week tour of Australia with Max Merritt, the former Australian rock star now T based in England. This period of employment breaks a long drought for an important figure in Australian jazz history. Apart front a similar tour with Merritt last year, Speer has worked only occasionally since returning two years ago from England, where he spent most of the 1970s. Max Merritt & the Meteors, L-R, Speer, Lance Dixon, Merritt, Martin (Fuzz) Deniz, John Gourd… 1 Speer, with cigarette dangling… “I would like to be playing more, but I’m not sure about how to go about it,” said Speer recently. “I wouldn’t mind a regular gig, maybe with some electric players. I like a bit of noise.” “Of course I have been sick since I came back from England,” he says, ticking off an impressive series of afflictions — leg ulcers, cellulitis, gout and arthritis are just some of them. Physically, he is an awesome man — some 22 stone, although he is down from last year’s 25 stone — with a flowing white beard and long grey hair which seems to grow out of the sides of his ever-present peak cap. In performance, he establishes a formidable presence behind the array of cymbals and tom-toms which make up the modern drum-kit. Always there is a huge cloud of smoke pouring upwards from the cigarette which dangles nonchalantly from his lips.

Solid Gold - Jeff Apter & Philip Morris, Metcalfe Theatre, State Library of NSW, 5th December 2015] [Dressed in a black shirt and dark jeans, grey-haired Philip Morris sits beside his interviewer Jess Apter, a bald man dressed casually] [JEFF APTER] Thank you. Before starting, I want to say I was really fortunate to be able to work with Philip on this book. [Jeff Apter holds up a coffee table book] [JEFF APTER] And it was one of the more interesting exercises, wasn't it? Because we were given a directive to come up with... Was it 200 photos? ..for this book. [PHILIP MORRIS] That's right. [JEFF APTER] And Philip's archive is so fantastic and so rich, that I think we got it down to, what, 600? [PHILIP MORRIS] Yeah. [Audience laughs] [JEFF APTER] Was it 600 to start with? It was something like that. And it's staggering, really. It's a really great document of Australian rock history at a really interesting turning point. So to get it down to this... It's begging for a second edition, by the way. There's so many great photos. So it was a real honour to be able to... to do that. It was a lot of fun. [PHILIP MORRIS] Yeah, it was. [JEFF APTER] We actually had built into our contract... Our agreement was an understanding that we would never work in a boring situation.

  • Hearing Ourselves: Globalisation, the State, Local Content and New Zealand Radio
    HEARING OURSELVES: GLOBALISATION, THE STATE, LOCAL CONTENT AND NEW ZEALAND RADIO A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology at the University of Canterbury by Zita Joyce University of Canterbury 2002 ii Abstract _____________________________________________________________________ Local music content on New Zealand radio has increased markedly in the years between 1997, when content monitoring began, and January 2002. Several factors have contributed to this increase, including a shift in approach from musicians themselves, and the influence of a new generation of commercial radio programmers. At the heart of the process, however, are the actions of the New Zealand State in the field of cultural production. The deregulation of the broadcasting industry in 1988 contributed to an apparent decline in local music content on radio. However, since 1997 the State has attempted to encourage development of a more active New Zealand culture industry, including popular music. Strategies directed at encouraging cultural production in New Zealand have positioned popular music as a significant factor in the development and strengthening of ‘national’ or ‘cultural’ identity in resistance to the cultural pressures of globalisation. This thesis focuses on the issue of airtime for New Zealand popular music on commercial radio, and examines the relationship between popular music and national identity. The access of New Zealand popular music to airtime on commercial radio is explored through analysis of airplay rates and other music industry data, and a small number of in-depth interviews with radio programmers and other people active in the industry. A considerable amount of control over the kinds of music supported and produced in New Zealand lies with commercial radio programmers.

  • In New Zealand a Grounded Theory Analysis of Kiwi FM 2015
    Powerful Music: Media, Culture and the ‘Third-way’ in New Zealand A Grounded Theory Analysis of Kiwi FM Matt Mollgaard School of Communication Studies Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies Auckland University of Technology A dissertation submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 2 Abstract The New Zealand radio market is one of the most deregulated in the world. There are no limits on ownership, very few constraints on content and no quotas for local content. New Zealand’s radio environment reflects the strong neo-liberal principles that underpin the open, market-driven New Zealand economy. Political promises and public discussions about the creation of a nationwide commercial-free public radio service for young people had faltered against these principles in the early to mid-2000s with strong opposition from incumbent commercial radio interests decrying government interference in their commercial rights. It was in to this environment in 2005 that one half of the foreign- owned radio broadcasting duopoly introduced a radio network into the three main cities that played only New Zealand music – Kiwi FM. Within a year the network had failed to attract sufficient listeners and advertisers to stay on-air and was nearing closure. At this point the Labour government of the day stepped in to save the struggling network by giving it access to temporary free frequencies and funding to make programmes featuring New Zealand music. This was an extraordinary situation in that commercial radio in New Zealand is notable for its focus on producing only programming that will create significant profits for shareholders, rather than public service-type programming benefiting national arts and culture.
