Wayne Baird and Neil Finlay playing acoustic blues at Guitarfest

Back in March local resident Wayne Baird made grown men cry at Guitarfest with the song he sang, “You Can’t Get Back”.

The song was written by Bill Lake and Arthur Baysting, Arthur was a long time Grey Lynn resident and songwriter and author. Rick Bryant another local resident, latterly in the Jubilation choir, last sang the song in the Windy City Strugglers.

Wayne played in Rick Bryant and the Jivebombers for 23 years.

He sang this in memory of Rick and Arthur. Rick Bryant and Arthur Baysting died within three days of each other in December 2019. Most revered local artists.
