About Hand of Glory

Hand of Glory are from Hamilton New Zealand. They have been described as a happenstance band, a suburban jazz band that played parties, art exhibitions, street corners and occasional shows, feeling most at home in dimly lit lounges.

In 1991 they released their first album “Hand of Glory” on Greg Locke’s label, Orange Recordings on cassette tape.

A track from this album, ‘Thing One’ was subsequently released on a Hamilton music compilation, Discordia Concors. In addition, three "live-to-air" tracks were released on the Inside the Wireless compilation, and 16 Tons on The Fridge.

In 1992 they toured the South Island in a grumbling Bedford Bus, which surfaces featured enormous reproductions of Colin McCahon paintings, painted by the band’s artist RG Shaw.
The first show of the tour was on the way to the South Island, in Palmerston North. This was notable only for the small audience consisting of four Nuns, and the haste in which the hosts hustled the band out of the venue. Thankfully, subsequent shows were very well received.

Following this, the band recorded the songs they had been playing on tour. Once again, Greg Locke recorded the band, the bulk of these recordings occurring in a shed overlooking the sea in Kawhia, on the West coast of the North Island.

Never a band to rush things, the tapes sat. In 1998 they were transferred from reel to reel to digital tape format. They sat for another 22 years, until Gillian, while hunting for sound effect in her archive found the digital tapes. She converted the now fragile tapes to a more robust format and mixed the second album, entitled 29 II 92. It’s therefore fitting that Hand of Glory’s second release is on cassette tape, as was originally intended.

An alternative version of one of the songs on 29 II 92, ‘The Wind’, written by Peter Caldwell, was released in 2020 on the compilation In Trust We Thrust
