CHARTFEST NZ Music Month Festival - One week to go!
25 May 2009
In just seven day’s time, Christchurch’s largest all ages indoor live music spectacular CHARTFEST will close another NZ Music Month with the city's second annual NZ Music Month Festival and Expo.
The festivities begin in the James Hay Theatre Christchurch Town Hall foyer at 4pm on Friday, May 29 with an official welcome before the performance clinics and expo begin at 4.30pm. The event is only $15/$10 (plus booking fee) and music fans are encouraged to head down to the Town Hall and soak up the fun – all followed by live music showcases around 4 stages inside the Town Hall complex.
Festival organiser Jeff Fulton said, “We’re only seven days out now and everything’s coming together nicely for another huge one. Hundreds of hours of work have gone into the festival, it’s been a fantastic team effort and we’re really excited about showing off the best of Christchurch music”.
Some 36 interactive stalls featuring the city’s music organisations and national industry representatives will line the town hall foyer and black and white tee-shirted CPIT circo-arts entertainers will be on hand to direct people to the numerous activities and attractions – including a TimeZone Guitar Hero station, back stage tours, the Artists Signing Tent and the text-in-to-win an Ibanez Electric Guitar from Musicworks worth $2895 competition.
From 6.45pm the live sets start and 2009 sees MASSIVE bringing the outdoor party indoors with the RDU98.5FM Massive Electro Stage upstairs. Look out for the camouflaged tent, mini mog and pup tent village. One of 4 indoor stages, be sure to check them all out including the opening set from the winners of the CHARTFEST 2009 High School Band Search opening the Edge CPIT Main Stage and the soothing acoustic gems on the Volcano Radio Harbour Sessions Grassroots Stage.
