Youth music charities unite for a special concert

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 3 July 2024

Three of our most prominent youth music charities - Play it strange, Big Fan and Crescendo - have teamed up this week to put on a free showcase event

Tomorrow night Big Fan in Morningside will host the 'Press Play' concert

All the artists featured are under 21, and represent a cross section of our future stars.

Prior to the concert there is also going to be mentoring and a panel take on navigating the music industry.

It's the first, in what the coalition are hoping will become an annual event.

We're joined now by founder of Play it Strange founder and former Split Ends member Mike Chunn speaks to Jesse.
