Hamilton Songwriter in to Contest Finals.

Record entries saw a total of 50 reduced to 12 Finalists for this year’s

National Pro-life Songwriting Contest to be held in Auckland on December 3^rd.

Hamilton songwriter Nicky Moran will be contesting the “Open” category.

Nicky has been writing songs for 25 years – even before training up to LTCL teachers level in 1995. She admits to being strongly influenced by 70s and 80s singers Annie Lennox, Carole King and Elton John and to favouring , and creating songs that suit her

earthy, rich original voice.

As an ‘intinerant musician” Nicky has led church congregations, ladies retreats, outreach concerts and prison fellowship. Her passion for music and dynamic songs - whether in ‘gigs’, piano bar entertaining or leading her Nicky Moran Band -  leave the audience wanting more. She performed solo at the first Parachute Festival in 2007 and with her NMB band in 2008.

Nicky first contested the Voice for Life National Pro-Life Songwriting Contest in 2009 with a powerful song for the unborn child, “Let me Breathe” which had people shaking their heads when it didn’t take the winner’s prize. But now she is coming back with a song that says it all: “Joy”, a celebration of deep sharing, understanding and a sense of loving unity and respect for each other.

Contest organiser and Chairman of Voice for Life Bay of Plenty Charitable Trust

Don Brebner is pleased at the quality of the 50 entrants. “Considering that a condition of entry is that song themes must in some way reflect respect for life – can be at any age or stage from conception to natural death – this contest is neither a straight singing competition nor a talent quest. Judges will be looking for that unique combination of meaningful message and original melody that can inspire an audience”.

It’s easy to see why “Joy” has made the Finals, which will be held at the Greenlane Christian Centre Auckland on December 3^rd. Door sales will be: Adults $10, Children 10 Years and under $5, families $25.

Fat Chance Band has a whole lot of fun revving up the hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Nicky and Andy have a go at each other now and again for a bit of banter on stage. Look out!
