At a time when few New Zealanders seemed to be singing about themselves, The Front Lawn turned the Hutt Valley and Takapuna Beach into musical landmarks. A forerunner of Flight of the Conchords, they combined theatre, song, comedy and film. And they laid the ground for the long career of singer and songwriter Don McGlashan.
In this programme Nick Bollinger revisits the group's seminal album and some of the musicians who contributed to it.
