The Great New Zealand Songbook

The Great New Zealand Songbook is a 100-page hardback journal in a red presentation box featuring two CD’s with 40 of New Zealand’s favourite recording artists including Split Enz, Dave Dobbyn, Neil Finn, Supergroove, Bic Runga, Shihad, Dragon, Opshop, Evermore, Brooke Fraser, The Chills, Ladyhawke and many more performing a selection of the best New Zealand music from the ‘Last Century’ and ‘This Century’. Each artist was approached to contribute handwritten lyrics, photos and memorabilia which are showcased as a double page spread for each song inside the Songbook. The iconic front cover art of Charlie ‘The Four Square Man’ holding a guitar is an original work by acclaimed New Zealand artist Dick Frizzell and was commissioned exclusively. Frizzell’s limited edition fine art prints are available for purchase from our store.
