4ZB'S NEW PROGRAMME DIRECTOR
Barend Harris Transferred From Head Office
TRANSFER of note is that of A Barend Harris, the National Transcription Officer of Head Office of the NCBS, to Station 4ZB Dunedin, as Programme Director.
Mr. Harris, who has been with the Commercial Broadcasting Service as Transcription Officer since its inception over three years ago, will be missed by his friends at Head Office. Listeners are no doubt familiar with his voice over the air, as he has sung at cone certs, recitals, and over the radio, for several years past. He showed extraordinary vocal ability at an early age, and after having studied with Signor Cacialli at the Sydney Conservatorium, he soon became known as one of the lcading singers in Australia. He toured the capital cities of Australia for the Australian Broadcasting Commission; he appeared on concert platforms, and at theatres in every State. He was one of the first to broadcast in Australia, and introduced an entirely new programme to Australian radio, that of a presentation of Maori songs and lyrics. On his arrival in New Zealand, Mr. Harris joined the National Broadcasting Service, and made three tours of the main centres, giving a series of recitals which no doubt many listeners will remember.
