Ardijah formed in 1979 and spent the early part of the eighties playing the Auckland pub and club scene honing their skills as a covers band. 

They released their first single in 1986, Give Me Your Number which was followed in 1987 with Your Love Is Blind. This was Ardijah's introduction into the music industry where in New Zealand, their popularity was well received.

Betty-Anne Monga was only a teenager when she joined Ardijah after meeting them as fellow semi-finalists at a talent quest.  After more than thirty years in the music industry, award winning Betty-Anne Monga continues to inspire and empower and she joins us on the line this morning to talk about what life as a musician is like under Covid19 alert levels.
