The Hawke’s Bay Music Hub, founded by Kevin Murphy, Tom Pierard and Hamish Pinkham, is an energetic instigator and supporter of much of HB’s music scene, with a heap of effort especially into developing our local young talent. Their newsletter, for both music creators and us mere listeners, is a ‘must read’ for what’s happening music-wise in the region.

Here’s the latest edition, covering everything from gigs, grand nights and festivals, scholarships and awards, to creative talent development.
