For immediate release: 1 May 2013 NZ Music
Month 2013: It's Here
It's the first day of May
– that means NZ Music Month 2013 begins. Thirty-one
days of music across our clubs, libraries,
airwaves,
screens of all sizes, schools, parks, and theaters starts
today.
NZ Music Month Manager Simon Woods says "There is a
wonderful array of music events across the country this May,
celebrating
our music and our music makers. After all,
NZ Music Month is a cultural celebration."
Celebrations
are kicking off in both islands today. At noon on the
steps of the Auckland Central Library, Hon Nikki Kaye will
officially
launch the event, followed by students from
the East Tamaki School Ukulele Band and Sistema Aotearoa
players performing,
including their version of the
single 'Come On Home' by Titanium – who will also be in
attendance. Additionally performing is
Waimarie Smith
with her Hook, Line & Singalong winning song 'Paradise'.
From 7:00pm at the Christchurch Central Library, the
Christchurch City Council are hosting a free show to launch
their programme of events.
The Eastern, just home from
their Australian tour, perform alongside Katie Thompson and
Luckless.
There are other events up and down the country – check out your favourite radio station, gig guide and local papers for news about what is happening in your area!
