Maurice Jones Radio New Zealand National Radio Interview - New Zealandby Heather Masefield |
Picture and radio interview sound file above, and text below from the Radio New Zealand National Radio website. Additional descriptions in brackets. Piano Accordions - Maurice Jones Maurice Jones is an internationally known piano-accordion entertainer. He has frequently appeared on T.V. and radio in New Zealand and has several international performances to his credit. Maurice is easily New Zealand's most prolific session accordionist - in fact that was him playing accordion on Herbs' 1982 hit French Letter (a big New Zealand pop hit which is the opening music of this radio interview). Not only has he performed extensively all around the world, Maurice is also an importer of very high-quality Italian accordions (Accordion House Importer/Retailer) and an expert in their repair and restoration. He is also the owner of an impressive collection of accordions (picture of one above) at his home and business in the Auckland suburb of Takapuna. Maurice Jones talks to Jesse Mulligan. |
