NZ Music Month at the Library

Welling­ton Pub­lic Library is get­ting into the spir­it of NZ Music Month with a series of free con­certs of the course of this week.

Our pick of the bunch is the Welling­ton Inter­na­tion­al Ukulele Orches­tra, fea­tur­ing the tal­ents of Flight of the Con­chords Bret McKen­zie and local song­smith Age Pry­or, as well as an ever-expand­ing num­ber of equal­ly tal­ent­ed ukulele-wield­ing play­ers.

They’re play­ing on the mez­za­nine lev­el in the Young Adult area at the Cen­tral Library from 1pm on Fri­day. Their reg­u­lar Thurs­day-morn­ing practice/concert at Deluxe Cafe has seen a few clas­sic kiwi num­bers being rehearsed (Strait­jack­et Fits on uke? It can be done), so it should be good fun.

The Library’s also going a bit Willy Won­ka, with 20 ‘Secret CDs’ being hid­den in the Cen­tral Library’s New Zealand CDs col­lec­tion. Bor­row one, and you can win a $20 music vouch­er from Real­Groovy or Music Works. Choice.
