The Royal New Zealand Navy Band is celebrating the service's 75th birthday and 30 years of women at sea. Musicians Colin Clark and Jo Spiers talk about the changes sexual equality in the Navy have brought. Earlier this year the band travelled to Europe to play at multiple ceremonies at sites of battles during the first world war.
