Live at the Gold Guitars: Part 3 of 4

The Sunday Drama continues to follow the amazing story of iconic Kiwi band The Lonesome Buckwhips - a musical and social phenomenon.

This week's episode centres around the Lonesome Buckwhip's notorious performance at the Gold Guitars in Gore and their confrontation with iconic Kiwi singer/songwriter Barry Saunders - an event that was to have a long lasting effect on the band.
