Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: I'm pleased to advise that the New Zealand Music Recovery Fund has supported 85 music venues across 26 towns and cities to host concerts and events; 136 musicians and businesses to access funding through the Outward Sound Make Good Fund, New Zealand Music Month Make Good Fund, and the Aotearoa Touring Programme; and 309 grants totalling $2.4 million for artists to produce new music through the New Zealand music programme. I'm pleased that Government funding has reinvigorated the live music industry, supported the creation of New Zealand music, and has allowed musicians and music businesses to recoup some of the revenue lost due to COVID-19.
