Hui Pacific - Episode
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1984
Presenter Frankie Stevens promises a live audience a great variety of talent from New Zealand and across the Pacific in this TV series. Samoan family act The Three Ts kick off proceedings with a cover of Pointer Sisters hit 'I'm So Excited'; Derek Metzger covers a Police song, and a young Kim Willoughby gets hands in the air with Eurythmics hit 'Right By Your Side'. Stevens introduces a dance routine by "the ladies from Limbs", while chart toppers the Patea Māori Club add breakdancers into action song 'Taukura'. Rhonda Bryers, 1984 NZ Entertainer of the Year, shows her star power with three numbers.
I just hate these guys who look as good as Dave and sing as great as he does...– Presenter/musician Frankie Stevens compliments singer Dave Noda
