NZ Music Month 2010 Begins

10 years in NZ Music Month continues to kick the behinds of New Zealanders to recognise what they have brewing at their doorstep.

Without the dedication of the NZ Music Commission and the local music industry as a whole getting involved NZ Music might be a very different beast to look at.
