/ Ben Doy
After receiving almost every musical honour in New Zealand, Bic Runga – our own fashionable music icon – continues her unparalleled career. Recently chosen as one of five finalists for the top Silver Scroll songwriting award, Bic once again proves that her creativity knows no bounds.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of her first album, Drive, Bic will enchant audiences with a special performance of the entire recording, her first of many multi-platinum records. The second half of the evening will feature selected hits and hand-picked gems from her many other releases, with accompaniment from very special guests.
Bic Runga is an ambassador for the Maia Health Foundation, based in Christchurch, raising money for Canterbury’s health system. Bic is donating $5 from each ticket sold at the Christchurch concert to Maia.
“It is such a privilege and pleasure for the Māia Health Foundation to be able to work with Bic and to celebrate this concert with her. Bic is an amazing ambassador of Māia’s and with her support we are helping fund much needed enhancement projects within our health system,” says Michael Flatman, Chief Executive, Maia Health Foundation
