the Sounds of
Hamilton NZ

This website will grow. I have a comprehensive collection of Hamilton NZ music. From the late 80s to now. It should be avaliable to the whole world and so it shall be. Much of the collection was released on cassettes in the early 90s. It takes time and energy to convert it all to Mp3 so new stuff will appear sporadically. If anyone notices their music here and wants it removed,
just let me know

And if you don't see your music here but would like to,
just let me know
