SLEEPING AWAY – Max Merritt / The rock pioneer, in Australasia.

Engrossed in music, beginning guitar lessons at the age of twelve.

Archaeological evidence has indicated that this area was first settled by humans about 1250. Christchurch, the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand, became a city by Royal Charter in 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand. This town has a history of involvement in Antarctic exploration, so in the central city there is a statue of Scott. Here, the Canterbury Museum exhibits many historic artefacts and stories of Antarctic exploration.

In 2007, he was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital suffering kidney failure, remaining on a dialysis machine awaiting a kidney transplant. He, a New Zealand singer-songwriter and guitarist who is renowned as an interpreter of soul music, was born in a April day,1941, in Christchurch (New Zealand). To most New Zealanders, he is best known for ‘Slipping Away’, a Kiwi anthem. In 1975, MAX MERRITT and The Meteors were playng in London the same venues as the then-emerging punk bands.

MAX MERRITT’S band had been largely forgotten in New Zealand, when “Slipping Away” was released off the album, 16 years after his first record. The Australian Recording Industry Association, recognised his iconic status on 2008, when he was inducted into their Hall of Fame. He has engendered affection over generations of performers. He is a pioneer of rock in Australasia, who produced crowd pleasing shows for over 50 years.

SLEEPING AWAY – Baby I’ve been watching you, watching everything you do and I just can’t help but feeling. Someone else is stealing you away from me, I see it written in your eyes, you confirm it with your lies. Though the web that you weave can hold me, I would rather that you told me where you wanna be. Oooh slipping away from me, and it’s breaking me in two, watching you slipping away. Baby I’ve been watching you, watching everything you do, and I just can’t help but feeling.
