HELIO RIPIT MAC
Hello Sailor is a regular curtain-raiser for visiting overseas groups opening for Fleetwood Mac to a crowd of over 30,000 was one notable example.

At a performance at Auckland University's Orientation this year, 2,000 people packed into the hall and and many more were turned away. Rare pub or club appearances are invariably packed out from the start late arrivals face locked doors and "Full House" signs. Hello Sailor is: Graham Brazier (vocals, sax, guitar, harmonica), Dave McArtney (vocals, guitar), Harry Lyon (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Lisle Kinney (Bass), Ricky Ball (drums, percussion).īased in Auckland, Hello Sailor has a popularity that no other local group has ever achieved. Quite honestly I can't find anything in them to make me believe any the less that this is the best local album I have heard." "Receiving this record gives rise to a quick mental review of its competition - New Zealand conceived and recorded albums of the last few years. "The rhythm section is as sweaty tight as you would have every right to expect from such an accomplished band, with two guitars carrying everything between then and making a suitably nasty background for Brazier's often inspired singing. Geils, from Graham Parker to Steely Dan, but comes out as definitely 1977 as any more overtly new wave effort. "It soaks up influences from Jimmy Cliff to J.
HELIO RIPIT PROFESSIONAL
Of the album, Auckland based rock paper "Rip It Up" had this to say: "It is a tribute to them and their material that Hello Sailor shows none of the lethargy which afflicts so many of NZ's professional musicians. The album has spent fifteen weeks on the charts and currently holds place eighteen - an impressive feat for a New Zealand band and equalled only by expatriate Split Enz. The first album, "Helio Sailor", received exceptionally good review, and this appraisal has been more than reflected in outstanding sales. With the help of the national exposure gained when the group headlined the rock acts at the Students Arts Festival in Wellington last August, Hello Sailor rapidly ascended to the so far unchallenged position of New Zealand's supreme rock group. Since then the group has steadily progressed. The group began in a Ponsonby house three years ago when three friends from Auckland, Graham Brazier, Dave McArt- ney, and Harry Lyon decided to form a group - not because they needed the money but because they wanted to play together. And now Hello Sailor embark on their first full scale concert tour, a step which elevates the group to a level attained by few New Zealand groups to date. With their first album released late last year and still on the charts, the judgement of that wait is more than apparent. Hello Sailor deliberately shied away from recording and hectic tours until they felt they had reached the necessary peak. Playing around the country for the past few years, particularly in the top half of the North Island, and building up an impressive following and an unequalled log of playing hours. The reason is simple: until now there has been no group that has had the ability to make such an undertaking a success. Hello Sailor is the first group to be toured on such a scale by the Students Arts Council since it gave Split Enx their national exposure several years ago. The public get their chance at the State Opera House the following Wednesday. The show, with full concert PA and lighting, will be one of the largest and most spectacular events staged at Victoria for many years, and is being billed as The social occasion of the year. on Friday 7 April, will give Wellington students the opportunity to see Hello Sailor in a dance setting. An exclusive campus only performance in the Union Hall, at 8.30 pm.
