Music News - Dominic Bowden to host National Anthem
21 May 2004 - 1 Comment
Dominic Bowden will host the 24-hour music event National Anthem - screening Saturday May 29 and Sunday May 30 on TV2.
Bowden will be joined at the regional venues by a number of music industry figures and TV2 personalities. Peter Urlich and Francesca Rudkin will help hold the fort in Auckland; Jackie Clarke and 'Flipside' presenter Mike Puru will anchor the Wellington coverage; Carolyn Taylor ('What Now'), Simon Barnett and Stacey Daniels are covering Christchurch; and Fiona McDonald ('NZ Idol') and Oliver Sealy ('Flipside') will be in Dunedin.
"The opportunity to be involved with an event like National Anthem doesn't come along very often," Bowden says. "It's 24 straight hours of the best music New Zealand has to offer, whether it be Fur Patrol or Bill Sevesi and the Ukulele Orchestra from Mt Roskill Intermediate in Auckland!
"It's also great to be raising funds for the Play It Strange Charitable Trust. National Anthem is the most-interactive programme in New Zealand history, with text messaging, pledges, as well as internet auctions. Everyone can take part - and they can choose how they do it."
The other way to experience National Anthem is to be there live, at the four regional venues - all of which are open to the public free of charge throughout the 24 hour programme.
In Auckland, the venue is the St James Theatre in Queen Street. Wellingtonians can experience the event first-hand at TVNZ's Avalon Studios in Lower Hutt. The University of Canterbury Student Union Ballroom is the Christchurch venue, and in Dunedin, it's the University of Otago Student Union Hall in Cumberland Street.
If you can't make a venue, then catch all the action on screen with TV2's National Anthem on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 May.
