The Winery Tour 2015 artists support NZ Music Foundation
with rare signed CD collection

The bellwether of the kiwi music year, The Winery Tour 2015, is approaching fast and the official charity of the tour, The New Zealand Music Foundation, has just announced a rare CD draw alongside the tour to raise funds and awareness of the charity's work.

The charity is already offering the public the chance through their website to win one of two double passes for any concert on the tour to those that enter before the 22nd of January. People that also become members of The Foundation will go into asecond, members-only draw for one of two album packs each containing Dave Dobbyn's best of CD Beside You, Don McGlashan's Warm Hand, Anika Moa's hit children's album Songs for Bubbas, and Supergroove's best of compilation Postage,each signed by the artists themselves.

Nick Atkinson from Supergroove says that the prize is extraordinary, and that the band is happy to help the cause. "You know it's not often we have all the guys together and we're really happy to help The New Zealand Music Foundation in this way. They make projects possible all over the country that harness the magic of music to help children and adults in need, and they perform vital work with members of the kiwi music community. We hope that people join The Foundation and that these signed CDs help raise awareness and funds for the charity."
New Zealand Music Foundation General Manager, Peter Dickens, says: “We see the magic that music can perform every day in the youth, healthcare, community and social development projects we support. We receive no government funding, so partnerships like this are vital to our work. We’re enormously excited, grateful and proud to have been adopted as the official charity of The Winery Tour 2015 and to have this very special support from the artists themselves is a huge boost to us.”
The charity hopes to raise both its profile and vital funds through the competition ahead of its next support round, where the money raised will be used to enable even more music-based projects that change the lives of children who are at-risk, disabled or in poverty. Other projects the charity helps work with adults suffering from dementia or other neurological conditions, or who are receiving palliative care. You can see more examples of the projects The Foundation supports on their website.
The Winery Tour 2015 is proudly New Zealand and celebrates our music, our wine and our scenery. Now in its 9th year, the 2015 Tour will play 11 shows in nine wineries around New Zealand between late January and the start of March, with all shows played on a Friday or Saturday or the day immediately prior to a public holiday. With Dave Dobbyn & Don McGlashan: Together in Concert, Supergroove and Anika Moa, it's one of the best line-ups, in the best winery venues, on the best days for enjoying a night out for fans.

The public has until 5pm, Thursday 22 January to enter here, and will be given the opportunity to become a Member of The Foundation to be in to win the signed CDs.
