Sione's Birthday. Episode 3

When Sefa convinces Michael’s mum to let them perform at his little brother’s party, the Duckrockers get their first gig! Sefa suggests they do a whole show (leaving Albert to organise everything), while Stan and Lupe perfect their routine, and Michael upsets his father by focusing on the girl next door rather than rugby league. When the big day arrives, Michael’s smart mouth sees him banned from the party, and the headliners are left in the lurch. But the show must go on – and after Bolo’s mates pull out of the program, a desperate Albert scrapes the bottom of the barrel to fill their spot. Can the Duckrockers pull off their ambitious new dance move? Will Michael defy his father’s orders? And will this be the best twelfth birthday party Grey Lynn has ever seen?
