KIWI COUNTRY has been created because despite the large number of people interested in New Zealand country music, there are but a small number of publications catering to this interest.

The concept is simple: if you're interested in New Zealand country music and wish to keep up to date or share your news, views and requests with other fans, simply join the KIWI COUNTRY group by sending an email to: JoinKiwiCountry@downtown.co.nz.

No need for a subject or message. Once you've done that, you're automatically a member of the KIWI COUNTRY group.

As a KIWI COUNTRY group member, you will receive any email sent to the group by any other member, AND, any email you send to the group, will automatically be distributed to all the other members!

The uses are almost endless:
• Announce events such as competitions, club days, record releases, gigs....
• If you've made a recording, let others know about it.
• Trying to track down a recording or artist? Maybe another member has the details you're looking for.
• Invite clubs to supply you with material to announce their activities and competition results.
• Publicise details of country music radio programmes.
• Trying to find that elusive song? Settling an argument over who sang that song? Ask the group!

KIWI COUNTRY has been provided by netCD in response to the number of requests on this subject. All we ask is that you keep your messages broadly to the subject of New Zealand country music and not abuse the system or its members.
