Bill Sevesi
The King of Pacific steel guitar who worked with MVPs of the sound such as Daphne Walker and had his songs covered by Bill Wolfgramm.
Bill has played all over New Zealand, America and around the Pacific. Now in his early eighties, Bill Sevesi (born Wilfred Jeffs, in Tonga 1923) started playing the Hawaiian Steel Guitar in 1936.
"I was living on a farm in Manukau, Auckland where the town centre is now located and was listening to the radio station, IZM when I heard the steel guitar sound for the first time. I fell in love with it."...
