As the city braces itself for an influx of music industry heads, the organisers of Christchurch’s multi-stage indoor NZ Music Month Festival CHARTFEST 2010 are very much looking forward to hosting the vast array of personalities, many with important historical musical links to NZ’s ‘town of sound’.
Roger Shepherd, the founder of Flying Nun, the former Christchurch based world renowned record label returns to his old stomping ground to join the ‘Music – Present, Past and Future’ panel discussion with Graeme Downes from The Verlaines and Bruce Russell from The Dead C at the Town Hall on 28th of May.

From the Berklee College of Music, Pat Pattison, presents a taster session to his Christchurch songwriting seminars in association with CPIT and APRA. Attendees will get an insight into sharpening lyric writing skills and discovering the techniques that have helped Pat’s students, who have included John Mayer and Gillian Welch, to win Grammys and write number one songs. Nick Wilkinson, from the legendary UK band The Pretenders will present the bass guitar clinic while the electric guitar clinic is fronted by accomplished session axe-man for hire, Harry Harrison.
