WOMAD Taranaki 2012
Music 101 reporter Emma Smith is on site at the World of Music Arts and Dance festival in the leafy Bowl of Brooklands, New Plymouth, collecting music performances fresh from the main stage, live sessions and interviews from a line up which includes West African superstar Baaba Maal, Congalese Street Musicians Staff Benda Billi, the ancient traditions of Mongolian tribes bought to life by China's Anda Union, the Irish Queen of the accordion Sharon Shannon, and many more diverse local and international artists.

Barons of Tang
Australian Gypsy/Latin/Metal/Goodtime band Barons of Tang got the dance-floor going wild at last year's WOMAD festival, and they've been touring NZ this summer. We catch up with them on site at Luminate festival earlier this year.)

3-4pm

SXSW
We cross live to Sam Wicks, who's in the thick of South By South West, an annual endurance test for bands, media and audiences alike in Austin, Texas. Local representatives at the NZ showcase this year are Avalanche City, Kimbra, Cairo Knife Fight and Electric Wire Hustle.

St Vincent
St Vincent is the stage name of Annie Clark (pictured right), a Dallas, Texas bred New York resident. She's a multi-instrumentalist who shreds and grinds on electric guitar while her voice coos above…
Annie earned her stripes as a member of The Polyphonic Spree, Sufjan Stevens' band, and earlier with her uncle and aunt - jazz interpreters Tuck and Patti.
Last year she released her third solo album Strange Mercy - Kirsten Johnstone spoke to St Vincent ahead of her shows in Auckland and Wellington on Sunday and Monday.
She explains why Stuff.co.nz Music critic and writer Simon Sweetman called her the 'Rudest Interviewee Ever...'
