The 2015 National Final was a huge weekend of NZ Music; a remarkable display of many high quality NZ bands over the 2 shows. Both nights ran on time, ahead of schedule most of the time, sooooo much great talent. Big thanks to all the music supporters that came to the shows and for going to local gigs in general and making live music so much fun, thanks to all the bands for being part of the event this year, it's been a pleasure working with you all and big thanks to all our awesome sponsors and media partners, crew, venues and the whole team of people that were part of this 20th Anniversary event. BAKERS EDDY had an amazing time on the Europe Tour, starting in Barcelona on 29th August 2015, with numerous dates all around Europe ending in with a festival in Munich on 19th September 2015. They also performed a separate show in London. A huge thanks to Stoke Travel for taking BAKERS EDDY on the wild ride life experience that is the 'STOKE ROLLING CIRCUS'.
