May: NZ Music Month

Firmly entrenched as part of our cultural landscape, over the course of the last decade the month of May has gone from a period of encouraging radio to play more local tunes, to a 31 day celebration of homegrown talent across the length and breadth of the country. Throughout May each year, Dunedin Public Libraries work in collaboration with www.dunedinnz.com/visit/music to bring a month of live music performances into our library spaces; from weekly Gig Nights to single lunchtime acoustic sessions, to school kapa haka and choir performances. Our local musical lyricists are honoured and encouraged to perform in a free for all environment.
