11.10pm - Everyone is enjoying Thomas Oliver's speech with the history and inspiration behind the winning song If I Move to Mars, and he thanked Yoko Zuna and Bailey Wiley for their cover version as he proclaimed "that was fucking sick". Congratulations to all winners.
11pm - And the winner of the 2016 Silver Scroll Award is Thomas Oliver, who graciously accepts his award and quickly acknowledges the efforts of all at APRA for the wonderful evening celebrating Kiwi songwriting and not just the "now" music, Thomas also spoke warmly about how the night has been a warm celebration of our indigenous culture.
10.50pm - The last song If I Move to Mars is being introduced by Mr Campbell, a great song by Thomas Oliver and the cover version by Yoko Zuna featuring Bailey Wiley is bright and beautiful.

10.20pm - The striking Rob Ruha has been deservedly awarded the Maioha award for his brilliant song Kariri.

8.50pm - Hall of Fame inductee Moana Maniapoto is talking beautifully about the honour of this special accolade, and we laughed hard when she declared that her family thought she was being abducted and being induced by the Silver Scrolls!
8.35pm - The all girl Courtney Hate are performing a wonderful version of nominee Street Chant's song Pedestrian Support League which in Mr Campbell's words was "bloody fantastic".

7.20pm - The APRA members are enjoying their dinner and the media photographers have reliably informed me that tables 1 through 7 are drinking twice as much as tables 8 through 12!
6.40pm - Chatting with Rob Ruha and Mana Whenua IHI, who are nominated for the Maioha award, they are really enjoying the recognition and they are looking forward to hearing their songs performed by the APRA orchestra.
6.20pm - Villainy are partaking in some photo booth fun amongst the pre-show drinks and nibbles.
