Hello. My name is Mark. I have been the Music Specialist at Wellington City Libraries for some time. The picture below is from the AV area in the old Central Library, where some of you may remember myself and my colleagues from. I created the Wellington Music section of our website and have been running this FB page since its inception, as well as buying all the CDs & Vinyl for the last 6 or so years. I am leaving WCL, so I just wanted to let you know that this page will be inactive while this role is filled. You can still send messages to the page and they will be answered, and any additional local music queries can be directed to [email protected].
I also just wanted to thank all the musicians who took time out of their busy lives to complete interviews for our blog. All the interview content from our old WordPress site has been archived internally and is slowly being transferred to the new Library website page for Wellington Music (https://www.wcl.govt.nz/explore/by-topic/wellington-music/), so none of it is lost. Someone new will take over this role and will continue on with the work around local music promotion & interviews, so keep an eye on this page!
