"Hi-Fives" in Nelson
The audiences for "International Startime" in Nelson may have been small, but they were certainly appreciative of the fare provided. The show featured the Hi Fives, a New Zealand Maori group which made a big name for itself overseas, and several supporting artists. Among these, Anita Aros, a violinist of exceptional talent, was undoubtedly the most popular.
