FUEMANA TRIBUTE HEARS HOW PHIL LITERALLY HELPED ARTISTS FIND THEIR FEET
Date: 5 March 2007
Stories, known and unknown about musician Phil Fuemana, came out last night at the tribute to his life and contribution to New Zealand music.
About two hundred people were at the Manukau Telstra Centre to celebrate with Phil's whanau, his life.
And some inspiring stories were shared by performers and family, including ex-True Bliss Carly Binding who told of how she lived in Otara's Velvet Cres with the Fuemana's.
Auckland DJ, BIg D, also related how Phil helped him fit in to the Big Smoke by helping literally find his feet.
Tony Fuemana, Phil's brother, says all of the peformrers took part becuase of their connections with Phil.
Sister Christina Fuemana, was relieved it came to fruition nicely yesterday.
Christina says it was important for her and the family that they honour their brother and says Phil would've wanted for the family to move on positively... though they are still grieving.
