Al Park has been at the heart of the Christchurch music scene since the 1970s: in bands, running venues and supporting musicians. Indeed, until the earthquakes saw it demolished, his venue Al's Bar was the premier place for live music in the city.
Park has lived over the hill in Lyttelton for more than 40 years - a legend of the town’s own influential music scene, he has supported the likes of Aldous Harding, Marlon Williams and Delaney Davidson coming through. Now Park is about to release his first solo album in 20 years, Pony, featuring songs written from the 1970s to now.
Watch the video for the lead single ‘California’, which includes Park’s photographs from the 1970s:
