If you were asked to sing a Kiwi song, what would you choose? It’s not widely known that New Zealand has a rich goldmine of folklore, song, poetry, stories and yarns that are crying out to be told or sung. Cantabrian Phil Garland has spent a lifetime collecting, researching, recording and preserving our Kiwi heritage and much of this work is featured in his book Faces in the Firelight, which  presents a swag of songs about sealers, whalers, pioneers, gold-miners, drifters, rogues and scoundrels, shearers, gum-diggers, hard drinkers and moonshiners, along with a colourful collection of yarns, tall stories and ditties. You’ll never be stuck for a song or story again!
