Rapid rise to top for Gold Guitar winner
New Zealand country music has a new star — with an English accent, an assertive performance style, and whose smoky and evocative tone fills a stadium with ease. Gore Town & Country Club was packed to the rafters on Sunday night as 1100 people watched the best country musicians from near and far competing at the MLT Gold Guitar Awards senior finals. The judges had their work cut out for them, as the high-quality entrants brought their A-game to the show. The hour was late, but the audience sat in anticipation as the big moment arrived — the crowning of country music royalty. Lawrence musician Keily Smith, after resounding performances in the country rock and New Zealand song sections, won the Gold Guitar for her song in the new country category. Following her big win, Mrs Smith said she felt a mix of joy and exhaustion after such a big night with a late finish. 'I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. There was such a plethora of talent here this evening, it was anyone's game. "I'm just so thrilled to have shared the experience with the other artists, and I'm ready for a nap," she said, laughing. County Durham in England, where Mrs Smith is from originally, is not known for its country music, but the musician grew up listening to the greats her mum would play for her. Listening to Mrs Smith, you would assume she was a seasoned veteran of the art, but she began her music journey only three years ago. Her smokey and powerful voice, alongside her energetic stage presence, made her a standout among standouts. Mrs Smith said it was only the start. "I'm going to use the resources, going to make sure I'm a good advocate for country music and other musicians, and Gore Country Music Club. "It's really going to get me going with releasing a single at the end of the year, hopefully with the songs I've been writing," she said. Runner-up Simon Thompson, of Invercargill, was overcome with emotion as he accepted several awards for his performances. He also won the male vocal solo award. Mr Thompson said the wins showed his hard work had been paying off. "I was just stunned. Even now I'm completely speechless. "Everyone in this room is a winner and to be called up, to be given that, it feels like I do belong and I am good enough," he said. MLT Gold Guitar Awards convener Phillip Geary said the night was one to be remembered, and the winner was a fantastic ambassador for the awards, and country music. "It's just another great milestone; it's a continuation of the jouney. The quality is as high as it's ever been, "[Keily Smith] represents very well, she's a very worthy winner. If she goes on from here, takes advantage of the prize package, we'll be really proud of her," he said.

Passionate performers

PHOTOS: ANDREW ASHTON The Oamaru Performing Arts Society hosted its 86th Annual Festival at the Oamaru Opera House, last weekend. There were six different categories — speech and drama, vocal and instrumental, ballet, tap and Highland dancing along with a new category, musical theatre. Organisers said all events were strongly competed for by over 200 competitors from across New Zealand. Lucy Mavor, Oamaru, won the Highland Dancing South Island Championship Seann Truihbas for competitors U18. Oamaru competitors Toby McKeown and Freya Waite put in a performance at the Oamaru performing Arts Competition. Organisers wished this year's National Young Performer Award nominees (modern dance, Rose Cudmore, Christchurch; musical theatre, Jemima Riley-Dudin, Oamaru; and speech, Teresa Steiner, Christchurch) the best for their competition in October and thanked sponsors and the group of helpers needed to run the festival. "A very small organising committee is hugely supported by adjudicators, writers, a piper and Opera House staff." Also thanked were parents and teachers for their support. The festival was funded through grants from Waitaki District Creative NZ Communities and Waitaki District Community Group.
