NZ On Air 30th Birthday - Play It Strange
Web (Full Length) – 2019
Where would New Zealand culture be without our own music? In this video celebrating NZ On Air's 30th birthday, Mike Chunn (founder of the Play It Strange Trust) describes the 2007 documentary series that followed a group of promising teenage songwriters as they honed their compositions — with help from Play It Strange judges and mentors like Jordan Luck. Chunn is overcome with emotion as he describes the feedback he receives from parents of those involved with the programme, while Luck feels "honoured" to have worked with young musical talent.
People say to me "Play It Strange must be great for teaching kids how to write songs". And I say we don't teach them anything — we learn from their words, especially, about the life that they lead.– Mike Chunn, musician and founder of the Play It Strange Trust
