They've been a big hit in people's lounges but last night friends, family and fans got to spend an evening with Maketu's best known sisters Kasey and Karena Bird.
The duo celebrated the launch of their new book For The Love Of... with 320 dinner guests - including Rotorua MP Todd McClay and Rotorua mayor Steve Chadwick - at the Stratosfare restaurant at Skyline overlooking Rotorua's nightscape.
"We know we're related to most of the people in Rotorua but we're amazed how many people have come," said Karena.
"I knew it would be quite glitzy but they're so supportive here. We've not had to worry about anything."
