Special (NZ Ukulele Festival) - performed by Six60

Television (Full Length) – 2016

Quite emotional, to be honest. There's these kids who are so enthusiastic about playing 'Special' . . . this is so cool to see that our song has translated that emotion to these kids and it's awesome to see.

– Six60 member Marlon Gerbes on performing at the 2016 NZ Ukulele Festival

It's really beautiful to think there's an organisation like this helping children fall in love with music. I fell in love with music through a similar kind of programme when I went to primary school, years and years ago.

– Six60 vocalist Matiu Walters on the work of the NZ Ukulele Trust, Radio New Zealand, 3 December 2016

We want to make sure our children have got songs to sing and instruments to learn and that it costs them nothing and it should be available in their schools . . . because there is no targeted funding in primary schools anymore...

– NZ Ukulele Trust chair Mary Cornish on encouraging kids to make music, Radio New Zealand, 3 December 2016

They don't know we're here, but we heard through the grapevine that one of our songs, 'Special', was part of the setlist, so we just thought it would be a good chance for us to join in and play along.
