Noel Crombie, one of the artistic people within Split Ends, will be joining us after 10 this morning.

Phyllis is at Ipswich.

Phyllis, I am furious about all of this.

Okay, what's the most surprising thing you've uncovered leading the interviews for this project?

I suppose the most surprising thing for me, well, I don't know if it was surprising, but I'd never really considered how much Split Ends was an art collective kind of first and foremost.

I mean, sure, the songs were really important, but they came hand in hand with this artistic sensibility, which came from the origins at Eland Art School in Auckland.

and just this sense that anything was possible and the whole world was their palette so everything from costumes to videos to album covers all fell inside the creative purview of the band it's very unusual that a pop rock band will have sort of an art design department inside the band, and it made them very, as you say, unique and also self-determining.

She's 70 years of age today.

Her name is Jenny Morris.
