City Showcase launches in New Zealand
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 20 January 2010
London-based creative music festival and convention City Showcase has announced it will launch a sister event in New Zealand in November, which sounds like fun. I wonder how I can blag myself a trip to that?
City Showcase New Zealand will take place in Napier from 25-28 Nov, and like the London event will see new music showcases staged in various venues around the city, including bars, cafes, book shops and fashion stores. The aim is to provide a platform for new music talent, and a panel of music industry judges will view each showcase and pick the best bands to play a finale gig.
Commenting on the new sister event, City Showcase chief Nanette Rigg told CMU: “This is a chance for talented Kiwis to perform for, not only the public, but also the leaders of the New Zealand music industry”.
City Showcase London will take place this year from 6-8 May. As previously reported, as well as the usual events in the West End, including seminars and panels at London’s Apple Store, there will be additional showcases staged in South East London via a tie up with the Music Tourist Board and Rocklands crew.
