When acclaimed Kiwi country singer Kylie Harris had her hands immortalised at the Gore Country Music Club, joining her heroes such as The Topp Twins, Ray Columbus and Patsy Rigger, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with emotion.
“You think you’re prepared for something like that, but I got a bit choked up,” tells the mum-of-two during a brief visit home to New Zealand. “It was only a few years ago I didn’t know if I was ever going to sing again. I was in an unhappy marriage and raising my kids without my family around. I left music behind for a long time.”
Kylie now lives in Massachusetts and though her daughters Carmen, 11, and Caterina, seven, couldn’t come with her for the Golden Guitar Awards Hands of Fame ceremony in January, she is proud they will be able to visit the plaque for many years to come.
“I’m with some really cool people who have put their hands there and it’s there for life. It’s crazy to think that future generations will be able to go and see my hands. It’s very special.”
