Homegrown Profiles: The Finns

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, and Tim leaving in 1984; plus Neil forming Crowded House, Tim's short stint in his brother's band, the Finn's solo careers, and their two albums recording as the Finn Brothers. Jane Yee's interview with the brothers is revealing and fascinating, and includes great early Split Enz footage.

There was all this great energy that had come from this session that Tim and I had, this songwriting session, and yet that album was sort of set off into the future and I didn't know when we'd get around to it. It was actually playing havoc with me because I was trying to finish a Crowded House record and thinking "Here's these great songs. I'd rather be doing these."
