The Harbour Union, The Eastern and Barry Saunders

A band of Lyttelton musicians gathering under the moniker The Harbour Union have hunkered down together, recorded some songs and have been hustling them into as many hands who want them, in exchange for cash.

Lyttleton boasts a thriving artistic community that was hit hard by the February earthquake. Several music venues and cafes perished, such as the iconic establishments Harbour Light, Wunderbar, The Volcanic Cafe, El Santo (The British Hotel) and The Empire Hotel. The events and challenges faced by Christchurch compelled these locals to utilise their talents to help raise money for the community, so they made a record of, for, and about their community, the profits and proceeds of which will find their way back to Lyttelton and to the folks who need it. To date, Harbour Union album sales have exceeded a mighty 1,400 copies reaching No. 18 in the NZ charts for the second week of May. This compelled the Lyttleton collective to embark on a National tour beginning in CHCH on September 8th.
