Hogsnort Rupert was formed in 1968 as 'Hogsnort Rupert's Original Flagon Band' by Dave Luther (the one who had the ear for suitable sing-a-long melodies) and Alec Wishart (the friendly humorous front man) and friends.
In 1969 they were discovered by recording engineer Frank Douglas, signed a 5-year deal with EMI Records, shortened their name to Hogsnort Rupert and a string of hits followed…
'A Touch of Hoggers' is a selection of recordings from the past 40 years, spanning five decades featuring all their fun hits including New Zealand's biggest selling hit of 1970 "Pretty Girl", "Life Begins at 40" and "Auntie Alice" etc etc.
Today Hogsnort Rupert are Alec Wishart, Dave Luther, Neil Worboys, Kevin Findlater, Dean Ruscoe, Geoff Duncan and Cary Baxter.
