LOCAL ARTISTS

Sir,-I sincerely hope the NZBS will not be swayed by the views of H. E. Gunter, "A Timaru Reader,’ or "Earache," except perhaps to react against them. For one thing, I Mon’t think any one of them is fair to the local artists. These are not all guilty of the enormiti€s mentioned, and many are even deserving of some slight encouragement. Even if the catalogue of vices were as evident as is suggested, the importance of these should not be exaggerated. In no country with musical aspirations can the bulk of the population afford to remain content at the receiving end. In all periods countries of musical eminence have been countries of music-makers; they have seen music made in the homes, and not passively heard occasionally in a concert hall. The important thing in New Zealand is that there are people prepared to make music, The quality of that music, to the importance of which I am quite alive, is however of an importance secondary to that of the desire and the attempt to make it at all.
