Musician Debbie Harwood talks about being inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame with her supergroup band When The Cat's Away, with bandmates Annie Crummer, Kim Willoughby, Dianne Swann and Margaret Urlich.

Debbie takes us on a journey back to those days, with incredible stories and insight on how she met her fellow band members, playing music and meeting the small but tight group of well known musicians active in the 80's and beyond. 
She plays us some of her favourite songs from some of the most talented and important people in her life, all of whom she proudly calls friends.
