2:20 New Zealand Live - The Warratahs

Wellington country rockers the Warratahs released their seventh studio album last year and two weeks ago it took the "Best New Zealand Country Album" title at the Country Music Awards in Gore.

Next year marks 30 years for the band which started when a bunch of mates got together to play the kind of music they personally enjoyed.  Little did they realise their personal tastes would be accepted by the masses and that three decades on they would still be making music.

Today the Warratahs join Jesse to talk about that great career and to play tracks from their award winning album "Runaway Days."
