• 7:00 PM. Appointment

  Michael Grafton-Green, Desk Jockey

  Michael Grafton-Green walked into Abbey Road Studios in London in the late 1950s, and managed to score himself the best apprenticeship possible - as a technician in the recording industry, just as the music scene was moving into overdrive. He soon found himself in the studio working with a raft of rising stars from Cliff Richard and the Shadows, the Hollies, Cilla Black and Shirley Bassey to The Beatles including Abbey Rd and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band albums. Back in New Zealand from 1969 he manned the mixing desk at HMV studios in Wellington, editing tapes and cutting vinyl masters for local artists including Anna Leah, Quincy Conserve, Blerta, Mark Williams, Rockinghorse and Lutha. After his years with Radio New Zealand Concert, Michael moved to Australia where he specialised in restoring old recordings, including work for the Australian National University. He passed away last month in Canberra leaving a huge legacy of recordings in all three countries (RNZ)
