They are a passionate community of songwriters, musicians, audience members and arts supporters.
They are all about the vibrant flow of original music throughout Taranaki.
Their mission is to develop and promote original music in Taranaki for the wellbeing of all.
Their Trust is on a mission to keep developing the original music scene in Taranaki into the future. They were formed in July 2023 and became a registered charity in January 2024.
The Trust grew out of the success of their founding event Singer Songwriters New Plymouth which began as an open-mic night in 2006 at a bar in New Plymouth. This event is still going strong nearly two decades later. It is a monthly highlight of the Taranaki entertainment calendar and a testament to the passion of local musicians, audiences, and organisers who have kept it going so long. They think it’s the longest running songwriter event in the country.
The Trust is working behind the scenes to make more performance opportunities for local singer songwriters, provide education and development and build opportunities for original music in the local arts and entertainment scene.
They are grateful to the foundation event partners New Plymouth Little Theatre, Manella Productions and Swamp Shack Studios and the many wonderful sponsors who support the Trust’s work keep to live, original Taranaki-made music flowing into world.
During 2024 they help OPEN MIC'S IN TARANAKI in the following places
Every Wednesday - Open Mic Originals at Eight Ball Pool & Darts New Plymouth
Every Thursday - Open Mic at Mike's Brewery Bistro New Plymouth
Sunday Session During Summer Time at Paris Plage New Plymouth
Revive the Live Open Mic Hawera at Hot Fridays on Sunday 4pm till late
