If you know of any gigs or CD releases that will be taking place during May, send the details to Mikhal and she will make sure that the details are added to the official music month website. (Make sure you send these details through to us and we'll make sure they show up on this site too!)

The official NZ music month colour will be black once again, and the target will be popping up around the place. If you run a venue and would like some Music Month posters, get in touch with Mikhal by the end of March. The posters come in a range of sizes - A0, A1 and A2, just specify how much you want and in what size.

The NZ Music Month target can be used on band posters also, but it needs to be signed off by Mikhal first.
