Aotearoa Touring Programme manager Emily Crowther, says the past two and a half years have been extremely tough for artists.
“Many tours that even the touring programme has been supporting have been rescheduling three or four times. It’s a lot of work and we don’t want artists to give up. We need them, we need their music, audiences need them,” she says.
