Win Gutter Black - the memoir of Hello Sailor's Dave McArtney The Sound

The long-anticipated memoir by the late Dave McArtney, founding member of Hello Sailor and the Pink Flamingos, will be released by HarperCollins New Zealand in May.
Having worked on the book for well over a decade, Dave finally delivered the completed manuscript in March 2013, only weeks before his tragic and untimely death, aged 62.
Gutter Black is the candid, funny, irreverent and sometimes shocking story – told fully for the first time –of Hello Sailor’s emergence from ‘Mandrax Mansion’ in pre-gentrification Ponsonby in the early 1970s, to the band’s rapid rise to national fame and eventual ill-fated attempt to break into the American music industry.
