Anyone heard of George Kulokahai? I ran across this album recently and picked it up for a song on Amazon (hard copy coming tomorrow, maybe the liner notes will have some more info). Sounds like it was released in '95 and I can't find anything about the group online. Some nice tracks on there. I bought it for the marches:

This tune I know as Kamelani o Keaukaha, they titled it Pua Ika Lani:

I checked with Alan Akaka, who detected a Dutch influence and referred me to Basil H, sort of the European expert in these areas!

Basil did some research and came up with this, in case anyone else is curious (mahalo nui!)

Here we go again, someone going to the trouble of making a post using TOPIC which no one else in the world can see or hear.

Sorry, James, admittedly I don't know the ins and outs of what each country of the world chooses to block on Youtube, but as you mention it, I believe Basil did say he couldn't access those links on Youtube so I'm not surprised you can't either. Assuming I'm understanding your meaning properly, of course...I'll happily apologise if I've done something offensive inadvertently!

Amazon UK has it in an unfortunately much more expensive version (I paid only 5USD for mine), but you can probably at least stream samples from here if you are interested.

Nothing offensive Nic, I just wish people would discard TOPIC as a source, other countries do not block YouTube content, it is TOPIC that will not allow distribution worldwide.

Oh, understood now....the so and so - Topic YouTube thing. That's what had me confused, I thought I had screwed something up with the forum post topic, etc. I'll bear that in mind from now on, was unaware that was specifically why it was blocked. Thanks!
