From the Single Single (1988)

The first single for short-lived Wellington band Holidaymakers was a cover of little-known song 'We Could Be Sweet Lovers', by American Bill Withers. It enjoyed six weeks at number one and was New Zealand's biggest-selling single in 1988. On a low budget director Fane Flaws created a video that captures the song’s infectious brightness and warmth. With a cosy collection of lamps, minimal props and no special effects (bar a flying drum stick) nothing detracts from the compelling performances by vocalists Peter Marshall and Mara Finau. Sweet Lovers won Best Video at the 1988 NZ Music Awards.
