Andy Ellis with the Walkman he used to record live performances of Dunedin bands during the 1980s. You may not recognise Andy Ellis, but he and his Sony Walkman were a common sight at concerts by Dunedin Sound bands during the 1980s. Now he is digitising his personal cassette recordings, and giving the original copies to the Hocken Library for safekeeping.
