Celebrating Dave McArtney
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Dave McArtney achieved fame with Kiwi music legends Hello Sailor, then went solo with his band the Pink Flamingos. He composed the classic song 'Gutter Black', about “dole bludgers living in Ponsonby” and now iconic as the theme tune to Outrageous Fortune. Remember McArtney’s talent via music videos for ‘Gutter Black’ and ‘Virginia’; documentary Raglan by the Sea (where he reflects on music-making, 10 minutes into clip two), a 1978 NZ Music Awards performance, film scores, and more.
