Tauranga-based country singer Leanne Cryer is runner up in the Trans-Tasman Entertainer of the Year Award on Norfolk Island.
And a second New Zealander has won the Dead Ringer Band Encouragement prize for promising entertainers. She is Melissa Partridge from Dunedin.
The 2005 Trans-Tasman Entertainer of the Year announced at the Norfolk Island Country Music Festival is 18-year old Australian Victoria Baillie.
Ms Baillie wins A$5,000 cash and the same amount’s worth of recording time. Runner-up Leanne gets A$2,000 cash.
Leanne Cryer is an experienced country singer who has performed at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, Australia’s home of country and the equivalent to Gore in New Zealand.
Melissa Partridge attended the Camerata Country Music School for Youth in Tamworth and was an intermediate winner at the 2004 NZ Gold Guitar Awards in Gore.
The 12th Norfolk Island Country Music Festival had a distinctive New Zealand tone with regular festival performer Dennis Marsh hosting a tour Wellington five-piece Hobnail Boots performing for the crowds.
The Trans-Tasman Entertainer of the Year Award was last won by a New Zealander in 2003 when JamesRAY took the honours.
