Software developer Michael Walmsley (Ngāti Kahungunu) is no stranger to television. He and his sister Holly were McDonald's Young Entertainers in the 1990s. He and his whānau have been sharing their talents online during the lockdown period.

Walmsley normally works from home, so he says the lockdown is nothing new.

He adds the lockdown has given his whānau more time to develop their musical talents.

His partner Nelly has been working just as hard as a mum, teacher and entertainer during the lockdown.
