MAORI CHOIR
RETURN FROM OVERSEAS TOUR A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. This Day. After a fourteen months’ tour of the Australian States and the British Isles, during which it was presented to and sang before the King and Queen, the Waiata Maori Choir returned to Auckland this morning from London by the Rotorua. Members of the choir spoke with enthusiasm of the success of the venture, the first they had undertaken, but all spoke with unfeigned joy of seeing again their native land. The King expressed a wish that the choir take back to New Zealand his love of his people, both pakeha and Maori. Similar sentiments were expressed by Viscount Bledisloe and Mr W. J. Jordan (High Commissioner). The choir left New Zealand in March. 1937, travelled from Australia via Suez. It spent seven months in Britain.
