have Jose visit Nelson.

Again concept to Jose he was very excited about it and
wanted to be part of it,” Joe says. “Jose is a huge star
in Brazil, he’s released more than 20 albums and is
invited to perform at many famous festivals around the
world, so we are very fortunate to be able to bring him to
Nelson.”

says a novel feature of this year’s Play It Again auction
will be simultaneous live and on-line bidding for musical
instruments and equipment.
He says they’re introducing
the involvement of www.sellnelson.co.nz
Last year’s successful event was a
triple win for owners auctioning their pre-loved gear,
buyers who walked away with great deals (often on unusual
items) and The Nelson School of Music who benefited
financially and connected to the community in a novel
way.
Play It Again Auction is now accepting
instruments and sound/recording equipment for this year’s
fundraiser, which will begin with the concert and auction on
Friday 7th November and continue through to Saturday
afternoon.
Instruments or gear for donation or auction
on behalf can be left at reception at The Nelson School of
