As the NZ Music Commission says, NZ Music Month is 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 thirty one day celebration of homegrown talent across the length and breadth of the country.”

To get you going on The Big Idea here are some tips to add, find and filter news, events, jobs, multimedia and members.
