The Kavaliers were an early 1960s New Zealand rock and roll band that evolved out of a group called The Zodiacs and were fronted by Samoan born lead singer Freddie Keil.
Vic Williams was the drummer and John Harrison the bassist while Jimmy Langabeer played piano.
The group consisted of ex Freddie Keil and the Kavaliers members, Brian Smith and Billy Peters.
There were a few different musicians in this line up with lead guitarist Clive Whelan, Alphonso Keil rhythm guitar, drummer Mike Beck, various bass players and Steve Smith on keyboards.
Keil was well known for his participation in the annual Elvis in the Park concerts in Henderson, Auckland.
At this point in time, 2011, the group consists of Bruce Jarvis, Mac McInman, Pete Traille and Andy Shackleton.
The group still performs regularly, and with great success, at venues and private functions around Auckland, New Zealand.
