Maori Volcanics Showband Nuki Waaka is leader of the Maori Volcanics Showband, formed in February 1966 in Melbourne, Australia. The band left Sydney last August for a Far Eastern tour. They played in Japan for several months, covering the country from North to South and were entertained at the New Zealand Embassy when in Tokyo. They found Japan very beautiful and the Japanese people very kind and friendly. Their Maori hakas, poi-dances and action songs were greatly appreciated. After leaving Japan in November the group expected to fulfil engagements in Taipei, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Manila and Bangkok and its members were looking forward to entertaining New Zealand troops in Saigon.
