Christchurch is set to reverberate to the sound of big band music this coming Labour Weekend with the 15th annual Christchurch Big Band Festival.
Plans for the festival are full steam ahead despite the city being in Level 2, and the incredibly varied programme really does promise something for everyone.
Upbeat caught up with Festival Director Katie Martin.
