First live TV in NZ begins in Auckland
What do you know?
I was also part of the singing group from Glenavon Primary School to sing at Bell Studios.
I remember the pupil Glenn Ford who commented below.
I have tried to find out if the recording or photos of our performance still exist, but have had no luck.
We at Edendale Primary School in Sandringham, performed at Bell Studios in Mt Eden , about 1954.
I was a pupil at glen Avon school blockhouse bay Auckland a number of us were selected to sing at the 1st transmission at which I thought was bell studios I may be wrong it may have been latest transmission . A TV was set up at our school so our parents could watch the performance . I'm unsure what year but I guess around 1957 - 58, hopefully other pupils of Glen Avon who performed may remember the details .
I was a pupil at Queen Victoria Maori Girls School in 1951 and have a photograph of a group of us who performed for tv trials in Auckland (at the 1YA studio if I recall rightly).
