Chris Priestley has a new booklet with 34 songs / stories and images about colourful characters from New Zealand's distant past (the songs are available to download for free via his Bandcamp).

Pirates,gold diggers, spies, soldiers, rebels, aeronauts and more appear. This fascinating musical concept is based on actual people and events that occurred in our colonial history.

"You won't believe your ears - or the incredible stories contained herein. Rogues, rebels and folk heroes, and a truly valuable exercise, bringing all this history together in music." - NZ Musician Magazine

"Musically, Chris has written some beautiful melodies and he has a wonderful, simple, direct singing style. He has surrounded himself with some of Auckland's finest players.The end result is the most entertaining New Zealand history lesson you're likely to encounter this (or any) year." - Marty Duda The 13th Floor
