| Pictorial Parade No 204 (1968) An informal, relaxed look at the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band members at work and play. The band members all held down fulltime jobs but after-hours they played folk and bluegrass music regularly at the Poles Apart Folk Club in Khyber Pass Road, and at folk festivals like the National Banjo-Pickers Conventions. This brought them to the attention of TV producer Bryan Easte, who was looking for a band to play in his show , "The Country Touch". The band became a New Zealand favourite in the mid 70s and later found some success in Australia and the US.
