The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is bringing its 75th anniversary show to Auckland for the very first time. Full of pageantry, culture and history. 

The Heroes Who Made Us is a celebration of the tattoo, past and present and will feature over 1000 artists performing with musical and military precision on the hallowed ground of Eden Park.

One of those performers is Staff Sergeant David Fiu of the New Zealand Army Band. He talks to Paddy about bringing his Māori and Samoan heritage to the show.
