Nz Music Month. Yay for May!

First up its New Zealand music month in May. It’s a real tribute to all those in the local music industry who have kept flag flying for more local content on radio and got behind such events. I believe the music and media industry is a global giant made up of multi-national corporations. Their ambition is to spend the fewest dollars to make the biggest bucks. New Zealand is one of the few countries that does not have a natural language barrier to stop us from being over-ridden with cheap imported American, Australian, and English pop culture. That is why things like a Music Industry Commission, a New Zealand Music Month, and local Christchurch organization Chart are so important. I am stoked that the City Council has been so positive in its support for these events over recent years, especially the city libraries who get right behind it. Don’t miss your chance to support local musicians and creativity by attending Chartfest. It is on again this year at the Town Hall, May 29th. Be great to see you there! http://www.christchurchmusic.org.nz/events/chartfest09.html.
