Karen Says
This weeks non-music industry "tip" - if you have anything to include in
this section - let me know!
Another highly boring tip this week but very useful as it saves on time you
need to spend dealing with various govt depts!
The Companies Office and Inland Revenue have launched a new service allowing
you to apply for a company IRD number and register for GST when you
incorporate a new company online with the Companies Office.  The IRD number
and GST confirmation will be sent to you with the Certificate of
Incorporation via email from the Companies Office at the time of
incorporation.  www.companies.govt.nz

=======================================================================
=======================================================================

Open mics and jams

I only include additions or changes in this section these days.  All other
