Was just thinking how many of the bods involved in Fly My Pretties were at Wellington Coll with me.. then started thinking and I can name absolute truck loads of active musos who were at Wellington Coll in the early 90s, from Tim Arnold in Pluto through to Whopper Chopper organizer Chris Morley-Hall. Tim Jaray, Toby Laing, Bret McKenzie and Age Pryor were all in the same school band even!
Seems weird to me that such a conservative school would churn out so many active musos. Any thoughts? I can't decide if it just seems like a weird number because it was my school - I obviously can't talk for Welli schools like Onslow and High which in my mind seemed way more liberal cos I don't know who went there.

My school (Rotorua Boys High) produced nothing but Metallica cover bands. So sad. However - members of Pine, Minuit and Birchville Cat Motel all played in a nelson band together in high school. & I'm sure I've read about 3Ds/Straitjacket Fits/Clean school bands. I wonder if there's a high school music teacher behind every nz music movement?

HALH's Mark Hamill was there too, there was a band from Onslow before I was there that had Number 1 hit - can't remember who they were but I remember that the song was a cover, kind of a poppy thing?
someone will know what it was (possibly 'holiday' something?)
ohh *click* - The Holiday Makers . . . . I think?

apparently Tom Watson's (HLAH & Cassette) old band 'Funkmutha' was named after one of Onslow's music teachers?

yeah, Cashmere was one of the best schools in Chch all right. all the Runga's, Zeds, most of Heavy Jones trio for memory. we (Hillmorton) always had dealings with them.
I think it's mainly sown to the music teachers and their enthusiasm towards helping.
I teach at Drums at Wellington Girls College now, and they don't even own an electric guitar.
The girls are screaming for a band, but without school support, it's just to hard.
