LOL. This is mostly spot on for Cambridge, UK. Except for concerts in the park by that local “jazz” band who may well have been formed solely to cash in on local government having no discretion as to how to spend some of their budget because where else are they going to play?
To the best of my knowledge of my home country, there’s only been one “weird girl” to really break out internationally. Well, not counting Kiri Te Kanawa who isn’t even that weird. Though we’ve produced many world-class talents, even getting to do a lousy summer concert outside of NZ is pretty difficult.
My first cousin, twice removed (her grandmother and my mum are sisters), Natasha Bedingfield did OK, but really she was British, despite having two Kiwi parents.
Ha ha sorry self confessed lover of outdoor concerts in NZ maybe they are better over here even if we export the odd weird girl? : ) … Wouldn’t mind if Hayley Westenra and Brooke Fraser returned homeward though.
Dear Mr Atkins,
I see you’ve attended the “Music in the Park” summer concerts in my hometown! 😉
This is sooo right!
Thank you, Cathy Garcia

Yes, Mr. Crosby died 20 years ago. Now he tours as a zombie. Good catch! Most can’t tell the difference.
