Arrangements by Peter Bauers. 


A little treasure That Ed Thring found of a little known recording by Peter Bauers and some well know names from the 70's FND band.

NAVAL SHOWCASE 1957
Recorded EMI Studios Sydney 1957.
Original Album from Ed Thring.

LCDR George Hooker, M.B.E., R.A.N., Director of Music.
Bandsmen from HMAS Sydney, HMAS Melbourne, Eastern Australia Area, Flinders Naval Depot and School of Music made this record possible in 1957 at the Castlereagh St studios of EMI. There is no band listing on this album or acknowledgement of sound or studio engineers. The cover notes have no author.

LCDR George Hooker, Director of Music. M.B.E., L.R.A.M., R.A.N.

The Chapel of St George makes a wonderful backdrop to this album and the theme is marches of the world. The year is in question, so help there. Another album where the drum corp carries the marches through on both sides of the album.

LCDR George Hooker, Director of Music. M.B.E., L.R.A.M., A.M.U.A., R.A.N.

A traditional march album recorded in 1964 with 12 of the most recognised marches around at the time but themed to be Army, Navy and Air Force for the sake of the album.

LCDR George Hooker, Director of Music. M.B.E., L.R.A.M., A.M.U.A., R.A.N.

An EP released I think in 1966 or 67, Was it to celebrate the new guided missile destroyer HMAS Perth. I say that because all the specs are about the ship and nothing else about the band or pieces selected.
