Queer Resources Aotearoa New Zealand

I am a New Zealand lesbian currently living in Scotland. I am writing a novel about a teacher in NZ in 1957 who falls in love with another woman. She also has a boy pupil aged 10 (in Standard 4) who is bullied by the other boys because he's pretty and plays with the girls. (It emerges that he probably does have sexual feelings about other boys.)

We recently received this email inquiring about Arthur Tauhore:

I'm a queer musician and writer in New York, part of a performance group called Big Art Group. Many years ago I was in Wellington and picked up a CD by a group "Trasch." I admired it very much but never knew much about the group behind it until many years later when I was able to find some information on the Internet.

I would very much like to know more about the musician Arthur Tauhore, his history, how he died, and would love to be able to find any videos or photographs of his performances. Do you by any chance have any information, or can you point me to anyone who might have know Mr. Tauhore? Thanks so much for any help you might be able to give.
