Nook and Cranny Music Festival 6.0
Sunday 2nd May, 11am - 4pm, City Library
Visit this articleWe're celebrating NZ Music Month, with a pop quiz, as well as music among the bookshelves at the Nook & Cranny Music Festival 6.0, and at gigs throughout the month of May. There'll be live-streamed ragtime and blues from St Louis USA with Cherry & Jerry to top and tail the month, and advice on getting your songwriting career up and running with panel discussions and workshops. The Friends of the Library and our Heritage Team pay homage to Essie Summers, New Zealand's Queen of Romance, and we support OCASA awareness week with a little bit of theatre. All that and the launch of an exciting new anthology of Asian writers' works "A Clear Dawn" to look forward to, makes for a full social calendar!
