He says the musicians will play a solo of their choosing, and the winner will receive ultimate bragging rights in being crowned the best musician for the central district.
"They will battle it out for the 2022 Invitation Slow Melody Champion."
He says there will be 14 competitors on the night, including local talent.

Karl says seven members from the Whanganui Brass Band will be at the event, with others travelling from Palmerston North and Fielding to compete.
"The Whanganui Brass Band came fourth in a grade at a recent national competition. Seven of those players will be performing on the night, so it's going to be a real treat."
