Concrete Playground is proud to present The Whiskey Live 2012. This year, with support from Vodafone NZ, grabaseat, the NZ Music Commission, Beck's Beer and George FM, the event is stepping it up a notch, progressing to a new level, which will see it add a nice touch of NZ music and celebration to the Ponsonby social scene for the month of May.

If you haven't attended The Whiskey Live events over the past three years, don't be surprised. It can only fit in 80 people each time, which makes it one of the most intimate venues. But new this year, the Whiskey car park has been extended this year with the introduction of the Vodafone RedRoom, situated out the back of The Whiskey, with Panasonic projectors broadcasting the performances.

This is the perfect chance to get to see some of New Zealand's best up and coming musicians well as the legends up close and personal, all within arms length of the bar.
