Poll: Do you go to live music gigs?
Itβs βtoughβ running dive bars and speakeasies but a growing association is shaking up the New Zealand independent music scene.
These are the places where rising stars cut their teeth, members say, but theyβre challenged by noise restrictions, alcohol licensing rules and the need to take on multiple tasks outside booking bands.
