NZ Music Month May 2008

New Zealand Music Month began in 2001 and since then each May, New Zealand music is showcased on radio, television, on the internet and in live performances.

New Zealand Music Month boosts the visibility and success of New Zealand music. It was developed to support the New Zealand music industry by creating a commercially successful platform for local performers.

Through our NZMM08 portal, muzic.net.nz will give you access to everything going on both in the lead-up to and during NZ Music Month.
