Tui was a family favourite and we NEVER missed a local TV special no matter what!
This show was especially important to me as a budding guitar player as I was watching this show with our whanau back in '83 when 1:55ish happened. This is THE moment I decided that I was going to practice properly and I was going to join Tui's band, he really was my first local guitar hero.
Rest In Power, Tama, you will be sorely missed.
