An Audience with Keith Quinn, Peter Montgomery MBE and Graham Lowe

Three familiar names, three familiar voices, and for the first time ever these three amazing New Zealanders will be on stage together recounting stories from their incredible careers, providing personal insights from their experiences, answering your questions in a ‘Keith style Q+A’ and not for the first time they’ll all be ‘Talking Sport’.

MC for the evening Keith Quinn, is perhaps best known as being the voice of rugby for 35 or more years. His voice accompanied some of the mighty All Blacks’ greatest glories and disappointing World Cup exits.

Joining Keith is Peter Montgomery, a rare breed in that he is a broadcaster who is better known than most of the sportsmen and women whose deeds he describes. As the voice of New Zealand yachting for over 30 years, Peter Montgomery has covered all the major events including 9 America’s Cup’s, 7 Olympic Games, and all 9 Round the world races.

Completing the ‘Talking Sport’ trio is Graham Lowe who has forged a reputation that transcends his position as a football coach and rugby league icon. From a sport which places a premium on macho image and physical rather than emotional prowess, Graham has moved beyond traditional masculine boundaries to appeal to a broad cross-section of New Zealand society, well outside the game of rugby league.

For Keith, Peter and Graham they’ve been there in the flesh and recounted the experience via their commentary back to millions of televisions in New Zealand. Now is your chance to see and hear them in the flesh in this very unique live event.

‘Talking Sport’: An audience with Keith Quinn, Peter Montgomery and Graham Lowe is on tour throughout New Zealand now.

Another story? Oh alright then:
A few years ago my ex Wife took my son and daughter to see the Warriors train in Tauranga. Both kids got really excited but when they got there my daughter was told she had to stay and look after their bags while they went off to get autographs etc. Being a good girl she did as she was told and sat with the bags ... but she started crying.
Eventaully this great big guy came over. “Why are you crying?” he asks.
“I wanted to see the Warriors,” she sobs.
“You will,” he says and calls some of the warriors over to see her.
As a result both my son and daughter got some special memories (and autographs.)
And the 'great big guy' ... Stacy Jones.

(sorry - my story went on a bit too long ... here's the end of it:)
As I was about to get up I see my ex standing over me saying “you didn’t need to do that!”
‘Oh yes I did,’ I thought silently.
The game ended immediately and we left.
On our way back I learnt that one of my mates had thrown that ‘pass’ just for me.

I was fortunate enough to attend the Bledisloe Cup test match at Stadium Australia in 2000. It was the most amazing match I have ever attended. There was a world record crowd there and somehow a group of us kiwis got front row seats in the Members Stand. New Zealand shot out to a 21 nil lead within minutes which stunned most of the crowd and had us screaming. Then Australia caught up and the lead see-sawed back and forth. With minutes to go, Australia were leading 35-34 then Jonah Lomu appeared to tip-toe down the sideline and score the winning try. Every person leaving the ground that night was jubilant – the game had been that good. The Australians were very gracious in their defeat - I remember the headlines in the papers the next day – THE NIGHT HEAVEN CAME TO EARTH! It was truly memorable.

Playing rugby at Hamilton Boys’ High School, along with all the various games of scrag/league/bull-rush etc, you quickly learn to take a few knocks.
At the time my girlfriend attended a nearby co-ed school and we would often head over there and have lunch with them. Sometimes we’d play ‘rugby’ … a very very ‘gentle’ form of rugby compared to what we were used too … but it was mixed rugby so we didn’t mind too much.
Then my girlfriend dropped me … for some tall skinny guy who was even more uncoordinated than I was!
About a week later I was reluctantly dragged back down to her school by some mates who wanted to see their girlfriends.
Fortunately we played rugby and ‘he’ was on the other side, and naturally I ‘found’ myself marking him. The ball was passed to him, a high slow loopy type pass that he caught the same time as my shoulder hit him just below the chest. He went down … and stayed down. As I was about to get up I see my ex standing over me

Well Terryo's reminded me of my match winning try, my only match winning try! With my usual lack of pace and fittness I arrived very late for a maul somewhere inside the opposition 25 (yes it was that long ago!) The ball was given to me and I turned and gave it to our halfback, as I did so I saw he was going to pass out to the blindside where all our backs were marked ... so I snatched the ball back out of his hands (totally illegal) and turned to drive forward ... only there was no one in front of me ... and I scored between the posts. Somehow the ref missed my offence and no one on the other team complained.

The greatest try in Rugby Union History was between The Barbarians and The All Blacks in 1973, unfortunately it was the Baa Baas who scored the try, it began from behind the kiwi goal line and past through the hands of nearly every famous British player at that time, David Duckham, Gerald Davies, JPR Williams, and many more dipping and diving and weaving their way around the All Black defence and it was absolutely amazing to watch and it was LIVE on television, I think maybe the first year New Zealand had live TV from anywhere. Awesome!

My daughter got hit in the face with a cricket ball hit by her coach! She split her lip and broke a tooth. Curiously she had just got contact lenses to help her see better! However, she was looking into the sun. Her coach felt really bad and bought her a great big teddy bear. However, she was back playing cricket the next week, and represented her province for the next three seasons, so it didn't put her off.

My niece plays the fastest game of netball yesterday with a very competitive opposition team. They played with heaps of pride and were extremely passionate about the way they played. Although they lost I was extremely proud of them
