Roy Colbert

Roy Colbert began writing for the Dunedin Evening Star in 1965 while at high school. He has since written extensively for all the major New Zealand magazines as well as a number of overseas publications, usually on music and sport. Roy currently writes a weekly column, 'Dazed and Refused', for the Otago Daily Times. He also ran the iconic Dunedin music store Records Records for 35 years, which played a pivotal role in the globally acclaimed Dunedin Sound. In 2015 Roy was named in an Otago Daily Times feature as one of the 17 most influential citizens in the 170-year history of the city.
