Falling through the Cracks

With live performances and interviews, this show represents the diverse range of musicians and hidden talent and a broad spectrum of music new to your ears

There is some incredible talent and creativity here in Christchurch and so many different musicians that deserve their time on the air. Falling Through the Cracks gives musicians a radio platform where they can share their talents. It’s a show dedicated to explorations, works in progress, experiments, new concepts and hidden creativity. Proudly sponsored by CPIT Music Arts, the programme plays tra

cks that you would not hear on mainstream radio: jazz, improvisation-based music, big band, world, indie and many other styles that cannot be pigeonholed. Music which is not often represented and falls through the cracks in the music industry but provides strong, colourful threads in New Zealand’s musical tapestry. Be sure to listen in to the show for an hour of great music, interviews, live performances and much more. The programme is hosted by flautist, composer, dancer and facilitator Tamara Smith, the sole presenter since the shows inception five years ago. Falling Through the Cracks is a continuation of Tamara’s love of radio, which began in 1999 as the co-host of the popular PolyJazz hour, sponsored by the Jazz School. Tamara was facilitating concerts as part of the New Music Collective, and the music that was performed by local musicians at these concerts was world class. Falling Through the Cracks provide an opportunity to share the live recordings of the music at these concerts, as well as host interviews and get touring acts into the radio studio to give an intimate account of life experienced as a musician in all its various spectrums and styles. The programme also creates a supportive network where musicians can feel valued and represented. Falling Through the Cracks is a diverse programme that appeals to a broad spectrum of music lovers. Give your ears the chance to experience new musical flavours and insights into the life of a muso. Broadcast weekly on Thursdays at 7pm, tune in and treat yourself to some musical gems.
