Hi Martin,
There are some fine bands in NZ and Oz, but of course you are 100% correct -
there is nothing in this part of the world which can REMOTELY match the
controlled power of the top UK bands.  The gulf between the Northern and
Southern Hemispheres is rather wide in that respect (and in others, too).

A bit like our rugby teams, really. :~}

However, please don't drag NZ bands into this Anglo/Aussie squabble - you
will be able to judge us for yourselves when Woolston Brass comes over your
way in Y2K.

Best wishes, and congrats on your results of late...
