Without humans following a career path in music, there is no soundtrack to ornament and enrich our lives. So I want to put this to everyone: please don’t take The Arts for granted. Because without the things that so often are referred to as ‘the fluffy stuff’, what would we be left with? Roads, sturdy water pipes and a great big sea wall? Yes, they’re important too. But let me also ask you this: what album are you putting on first when it’s time to sit and reflect on the life you’ve lived?

We were invited to share the story of Mostly Music as a case study for the Business Kāpiti website, and we’re stoked – not just because we had the opportunity to talk about Mostly Music, but because it helps shine a light on something much bigger: the value of music in our community.

The Mostly Music Radio Show is having a wee break for now while we focus on other initiatives. But please take the opportunity to listen back to past episodes and explore new music!
