This episode of C4's music series Homegrown Profiles looks at the long and distinguished musical careers of Kiwi music icons Tim and Neil Finn. The programme covers the early days of Split Enz, Neil joining the band at the age of 18, Tim leaving Split Enz in 1984, Neil forming Crowded House, Tim's short stint with Crowded House, the brothers' successful solo careers, and their two albums recording as the Finn Brothers. Jane Yee's interview with the brothers is revealing and fascinating, despite its cheap staging. Includes great early Split Enz footage.

Jane, Loving this series. FYI, there was only one small inaccuracy that I picked up on. With regard to Neil Finn's solo output, the 'Encore' recording you picture was not an official public NF release, but rather an officially sanctioned Live 'Fanclub only' release. As such, it was 'Try Whistling This', followed by 'One Nil' and it's American variant 'One All'... and then Neil Finn & Friends at the St James Theatre.
Sensational stuff though. Many thanks again. Off to learn more about Dave Dobbyn now!
Kind regards
Harry

Really enjoyed this, Jane! Living in the US means I don't get to see much Finn related television so it was lovely to watch this on the Net.
