This year on our tour throughout Aotearoa we have experienced incredible, perhaps renewed, enthusiasm for songwriting and original music in the young musicians who have come to play. After what was a hard year for the music community in 2020, it's been heartwarming and encouraging to see such a high standard throughout the regions.
The Top 10 acts performing are: Caxixi (Manurewa High School) NF8 (Aorere College) Sixth Sense (Gisborne Girls' High School) Sounds of La Salle (De La Salle College) Stay in it (Palmerston North Girls' High School) TMB (Gisborne Boys' High School) Tū Te Akitu (Rotorua Boys' High School) Agape Tiatia (Alfriston College) Lucy Summerfield (Motueka High School) Nicole & Flo (Papatoetoe High School)
