Kathryn speaks with Al Anderson, lead guitarist on No Woman No Cry, the song that put Bob Marley and the Wailers on the map.

Bob Marley and Al's work together includes platinum award winning albums Live at the LyceumBabylon by Bus and ten times platinum album Legend.

Back in April 1979 Al traveled to Western Springs for the historic Bob Marley gig on that brought reggae to New Zealand and sparked a key element of our cultural identity.

Today the American born guitarist heads twice grammy-nominated The Original Wailers.  Al is the sole member of the Bob Marley and The Wailers mid-70's line-up.
