Hey Michelle  

Here is the latest hit of Music Industry Info.  Any information that is
useful for musicians will be included at no cost, send to
nzmusic@temple.co.nz.  And please feel free to forward this to anyone who
maybe interested.

I have tried a slightly different format this time - by section rather than
by topic, feel free to let me know if you find it better, worse, or
otherwise.....

If you wish to reprint all or part of the publication, please do so,
including a credit to "Temple NZ Music Industry Info Bulletin
www.temple.co.nz"   Back issues at www.temple.co.nz

A great BIG thank you to Auckland City Creative Communities "Supporting the
arts in Auckland City" for their assistance.
