It is the New Zealand music awards season. In the last few weeks, there has been the APRA Silver Scroll, the Juice Music Television Awards and on 18 October, the NZ Music Awards or the “Tuis” as they have come to be known.
Don McGlashan won the Silver Scroll for the wonderful 'Bathe In The River' from the soundtrack to Toa Fraser’s 'No 2'. The McGlashan-penned song – with an awesome vocal by Hollie Smith – has been an enormous radio hit having spent 32 straight weeks in the RadioScope NZ Airplay Charts, peaking at #1.
Kezia Barnett’s mesmerising music video for Sarah Brown’s song 'Hands' won the top award at the Juice Music Television Awards on 09 October. 'Hands' is an NZ On Air Phase Four New
Recording Artist song and the winning video was also NZ On Air-funded. Indeed, the winners of all nine categories at the Juice Awards were NZ On Air-funded videos.

Phase 5 In Action
According to US radio airplay monitor, Mediabase, New Zealand singer-songwriter Greg Johnson has had nearly 1,200 spins on US radio in the last 52 weeks and has been heard by an audience of nearly nine million people.
That makes Johnson the #4 most-played New Zealand artist on American radio in the last 12 months (after Crowded House, OMC and Split Enz) and the #1 most-played currently active artist.
Greg Johnson’s US radio airplay campaign has been jointly funded by Johnson and his management team and NZ On Air via its Phase Five international New Zealand music promotion plan.
