To mark Matariki, William Dart remembers some artists he's interviewed over the years and plays a selection of music from Māhinaarangi Tocker, Hinewehi Mohi, The Tahiwis, Hannah Tatana and Herbs.
He also remembers his grandmother Ivy, who introduced him to The Tahiwis and would play along to their recordings on ukulele or fiddle.
