The choirmaster who helped bring the music of Tinā alive

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 24 April 2025

Have you seen the film Tinā yet?

It was released 8 weeks ago, Has sold over 320,000 tickets. And taken in $5million in the process...

That makes it one of the most successful New Zealandy films ever... It's at number 6 on the list, just behind Whale Rider...

If you haven't seen it yet... It features a teacher who starts a choir... And some amazing choral music...

So, when we found out the choir director for the film David Squire and Tim Evans - one of the singers - are working next door to our Wellington studio this weekend we had to get them in.
