Tonight With Cathy Saunders - Series Two, Episode Five

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1986

The Rainbow Warrior Music Festival dominates the conversation in this 1985 chat show hosted by Cathy Saunders. Most of the guests were set to perform at the event, including the Topp Twins, Neil and Tim Finn, and Graham Nash from supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. English musicians Terri Quaye and Julian Bream complete a thoroughly musical line up. Sibling energy abounds; the Finns discuss new projects (like new band Crowded House) and the Topps recall their army stint, in between performing anti-nuclear anthems 'Radiation' and 'What's Following Me'. There's also puppet political satire by Hands Up.

I think the magic is the music; it's always been the music, and when we're all dead and gone the only thing that will be left will be the music, and that's the only thing that was important to us.
– Visiting musician Graham Nash is asked what draws him, Neil Young, David Crosby and Stephen Stills together
