Rangy and personable, Al blew into Canterbury on a tail wind out of Wellington in 1975 and decided to stay put. Over the years he has set up and played in many popular pub-rock bands, from Vapour and the Trails, Louie and the Hotsticks, Old Denis, Big Elvis and others, peppering the songlists in step with the times and his originals. He also appeared as the menacing pimp in the Dance Exponents’ 1982 video for ‘Victoria’.
