Musical Chairs featuring Ray Woolf - All Night Worker
When Ray Woolf arrived in New Zealand in 1962 at age 17 he quickly immersed himself in the Auckland music scene. Since that time Ray has become one of the country’s most enduring entertainers, working in television, on stage and in films.
Musical Chairs featuring Ray Woolf: All Night Worker documents the singer’s wild ride through the 1960s, when he made dozens of records that ranged from pop to blues to psychedelic rock. Many of those sides are about to be reissued for the first time. Tune in to hear Ray Woolf, his friends and collaborators discuss their journey through the swingin’ sixties and the music they made along the way. Produced by Marty Duda for Radio New Zealand National.
