Musical Siblings - Bic, Boh, and Pearl Runga

From The Weekend , 9:40 am on 16 January 2016

This time our Musical Siblings are the Runga sisters. Bic has an acclaimed career as a singer/songwriter. Boh made waves with pop-rock band Stellar*, is a solo act, released a collaborative album with Anika Moa and Hollie Smith, and has her own jewellery line. Pearl joined Boh’s old band Amez Amez which has evolved into cover band Automatic 80s, and teaches in the same primary school as her husband/bandmate Justin Maclaren. Pearl and Justin are also in synth-pop band The Broken.

Listen back to Bic's husband Kody Nielson (The Mint Chicks, Opossum, Silicon) when he was interviewed alongside his brother Ruban and dad Chris.
