“Bernie Brown is a most unusual folk-singer simply because he does not have any of the characteristics of the contemporary singer of folk songs ... Bernie is a mature man and a father of five children ... most strikingly he does not care for the current odes of doom and destruction that we often hear these days.”
An EMI A&R rep spotted him performing at the Monde Marie and offered him the opportunity to record an album for HMV. Although not listed on the sleeve it’s likely Nick Karavias produced the album, recorded at the HMV studios in Wakefield Street in 1965. Entitled Folk… But Happy!, and accompanied by Bill Hoffmeister on guitar and Brian Hands on double bass, Bernie covered some of his favourite folk songs, including three tracks by Rod McKuen and two by Bob Dylan. Of particular note are the tracks ‘Rewi’s Last Stand’ for which Bernie’s wife Denise (an accomplished poet and published author in her own right) wrote the lyrics, and ‘The Bishop And The Tohunga’ by acclaimed New Zealander songwriters Ashley Heenan and Willow Macky. Bernie also recorded two six-track EPs, entitled Singing Games And Dances For Infants, with Margaret Greenway for Kiwi-Pacific records.
