- Wiremu Kingi Kerekere (Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki ki Turanganui a Kiwa, Ngai Tai ki Tainui, Ngati Pukeko ki Maatua). Wiremu (Bill), who grew up at Waihirere and lived in Gisborne, made an enormous contribution to Maori performing arts. He composed many songs, and was a renowned tutor who worked with Waihirere, Ngati Poneke and Te Kahui Rangatahi culture groups. He also served on the Mangatu Blocks committee, worked in radio for 20 years, and organised many major Maori events. Wiremu and his wife, the late Mihiata Parata Kerekere, touched the lives of many people - young and old, Maori and Pakeha - with their aroha, wisdom and dignity.Public - Lorraine M - Researcher - 20 February 2016 - http://maorimediapeople.blogspot.co.nz/2004/07/wiremu-kingi-kerekere.html
