Chants R&B had a residency every weekend from 1964 -1966 at The Stagedoor, a grungy cellar downstairs from a coffee bar in what was Hereford Lane (now Tramway Lane) adjacent to Cathedral Square.

GREEN LIKE GO - Green Like Go EP

The first release by Christchurch-based five-piece Green Like Go is a cheery, fun offering that leaves you wishing it was just that little bit longer.

Made up of four, fast paced, goodtime tracks there is never a dull
moment on this polished, but short, EP. The band specialises in classic
