As part of Plains Media’s NZ Music Month Artist Spotlight series, they’re highlighting the venues and creative spaces that help keep local music and the arts alive in Ōtautahi.
We sit down with Alex Wright from The Loons in Lyttelton to talk about the venue’s rich history, the importance of supporting original music and local artists, and the role community spaces play in shaping Christchurch’s creative culture.
We also discuss the realities of running independent venues in a constantly changing city, and how community and a passion for local arts continue to drive spaces like The Loons forward.
