The Harmonicaires - Adelaide, South Australia (1)
The Harmonicaires - Modelled on
the world-renowed Harmonicats, The Harmonicaires started up in Adelaide in
South Australia in 1 September 1961, and comprised of New Zealand born
brother's Murray (bass harmonica) and Byron Knipe (polyphonia harmonica) , and
Dutchman Kim Van Dokkum (lead harmonica). None of them could read music but
after honing their skills, picked up work around Adelaide, performing in
cabaret, hotel, and concert venues, and finally television. The Harmonicaires
recorded their only single in 1964, and despite it not selling well, were able
to remain popular as a live act. Source:
