What is it about New Zealand’s west coast that makes it such
a hub of DIY music museums? Yesterday I made a visit to the Hector Country Music Heritage Museum in the Buller district of the South Island. Another privately
owned and operated museum, this one is run by musician and radio DJ Barry
Skinner with the support of his wife Judy.

Elvis in New Zealand - a visit to KD's Elvis Presley Museum
Yesterday evening I visited KD’s Elvis Presley Museum, a
private museum dedicated to 50s and 60s rock’n’roll. The museum is owned and
run by Kevin “KD” Wasley. As the brochure states, KD “has been an avid collector of Elvis records and memorabilia since 1959.
Born in Hawera, painter and paperhanging contractor by trade, but his pride and
joy is the Elvis Presley Museum.” The museum can be found in the converted
garage of his home in Hawera on New Zealand’s north island.
