Rick bryant and the jive bombers hold back the night
Rick Bryant and the Jive Bombers is an eleven piece band led by Rick Bryant that performed 60s and later styles of rhythm and blues music in New Zealand. Although it started as a covers band in 1983, it gradually transformed through several line up changes, with a repertoire of Rick Bryant compositions resulting in a CD release of songs by Rick Bryant in 2004 "Time" - the title track with image compilation by Radio Active New Zealand.
