Finn Brothers and World Party

Neil and Tim Finn of Split Enz, Crowded House and solo success talk about performing together as they grew up, having an unspoken understanding and a unique fraternal sound.

Neil Finn OBE and Tim Finn OBE of Split Enz, Crowded House and solo success talk about performing together as they were growing up and having an unspoken understanding and a unique fraternal sound, as well as the occasional bust ups and tensions, that only brothers and sisters can understand and forgive.

In a new interview Neil (speaking from New Zealand especially for the programme) looks in depth at the second of their Finn Brothers releases - Everyone Is Here, with some archive 91热爆 interview comments from Tim.

The album was recorded in 2004 in New York state with celebrated producer Tony Visconti, then completely reworked in Los Angeles with Mitchell Froom.

David Hepworth talks about the times he spent with them in London, Sydney and New Zealand and makes a statement about one track on the album being better than anything that Neil or Tim ever released in their long and distinguished careers.

In another new interview, recorded in his home studio, World Party's Karl Wallinger talks about leaving the Waterboys, his love of other artists and joyous music through history (and the accusations of creating reinventions). Karl also talks about always looking to the future and his message of saving the planet in 1990's Goodbye Jumbo.

David was on the editorial management team when World Party's second Grammy nominated release was made album of the year with a five star review by Q Magazine.
