Got some memories of your own to share? Just add them to your entry for the NEW competition...see below for details. One ex-Hauraki 'Good Guy' has whispered in our ears that, although 'Born Free' by Matt Munro is widely regarded as the first song played on the ship, there were some test broadcasts a few days earlier and a certain song by 'The Sandpipers' was actually the very first song ever played!!!! Separating facts from fiction and urban legend isn't easy. But, who's the winner I hear you shouting!!!
