This year's New Zealand Music Week on National Radio is shaping to be a veritible feast of all things kiwi with a range of programmes and music which celebrate our New Zealand music industry.

From Saturday 24th May, all playlist music, all regular music features and programmes on National Radio will salute New Zealand music.

From National Radio's flagship New Zealand music programme 'Home Grown' to 'Cadenza Light Classics', from 'Wayne's Music' to 'The Sampler', from 'The Mix' to 'Jazz Spotlight', and from 'Hymns on Sunday Morning' to 'Musical Oddities' and 'On This Day', you can expect to hear New Zealand music and culture spread across the entire National Radio network next week.

Co-ordinated by Music Features producer Liisa McMillan, there will also be a range of specially commissioned documentaries and programmes which take an in-depth look at the many different aspects of the New Zealand music industry; from Te Reo Maori music in 'Mai I Te Ku Ki Te Kuta', 'Kapa Haka Buzz' and 'Akona!', a sampling of the blues scene in 'Queen Street Caravan', highlights from the Resonate conference, interviews and live performances from a variety of musicians, the increasing profile of New Zealand music internationally in 'Taking It To The World', and Liisa's own documentary continuing the history of one of New Zealand's original record labels, Flying Nun Records.

Touchstone: Sound Communities:

Spanning almost four decades from schooldays with the Sisters of Mercy, through to London and Split Enz in the mind bending days of the 1970's, to a time when his life as a musician was held back by a meancing phobia, Chunn takes us on his quest to realise his dream: a life in music.
