LOCAL TALENT
Sir-I do not think the use of too much local talent on the radio meets with the approval of listeners. Local talent is expensive and unless it is outstanding the money used could be better spent in buying records of the world’s best orchestras, vocalists, etc. Local talent is of interest only to friends and relatives, the standard in general being mediocre and of not much interest to unbiased listeners. It is right to encourage local talent where it really exists, but if it cannot compete in quality with overseas talent it should not be inflicted on the unfortunate listener. GOOD MUSIC (Wellington).
