Auckland Tenor
ISTENERS to 1YA will hear a tenor voice of fine quality when John O’Malley comes to the microphone on Saturday evening, September 7. Born in Inverness, he spent part of his childhood in Edinburgh before coming to New Zealand with his family. In Auckland he studied singing under Frank Wilson, who also taught his brother, Birrell O’Malley.

John O’Malley has not made singing his life’s work, but he has found time to take part in choral as well as solo work and is one of the first tenors of the Royal Auckland Choir, Both brothers have confined themselves principally to ballad-singing, and John O’Malley’s recital from 1YA next Saturday will be a ballad one,
