As a teenager in 1964, Graham Hutchins became a huge fan of the Beatles and collected all their records as they were released. He attended the Beatles’ concert in Auckland, an experience he has never forgotten, and formed a would-be Beatles band with some schoolmates, a group that still performs together on special occasions.

In the years since, Graham has written many books, including Tall Halfbacks and the whimsical Hello, Goodbye, which cover his own youthful endeavours in music, and his most recent book, Both Sides Now. Among his other published works are several on rugby, cricket and railways. He lives in South Waikato with his wife Jenny.
