Noel Crombie

So we'll speak to Scott about that.

And speaking of legends and books, you're also in for a treat because Split Enz member, Noel Crombie, will be on the show today.

Noel has put together a beautiful coffee table book called Split Enz: An Adventure in Music and Design, and it is exceptional.

It's all about Split Enz music and fashion and their album artwork, the sets, and more.

Big hour on the way.

Couple of legends in the next hour.

Noel Crombie's gonna join us from Split Enz.

He has this incredible new coffee table book that he's put together with Michael Dwyer, who's a great music journalist, has written for the likes of Rolling Stone.

... than I was anticipating.

Um, it was cool seeing Eddie Rayner and Noel Crombie do their thing.

When I last saw Split Enz, like 20 years ago, they weren't really in my orbit of, uh, how and why they were important to the band.

I was just kinda there for Neil Finn.

... uh, uh, from 2006.

So-

Thanks, Noel Crombie.

And that's coming out of the weird Arabic solo, where he's just going, "Oh, yeah."

Coming up, CEO of National Seniors Australia, Chris Grice, unpacked if baby boomers are to blame for the economic struggles of younger Australians.

And we go behind the scenes of the legendary style and historic 50-year legacy of split ends with one of the founding members, Noel Crombie, and one of Australia's premier music journos, Michael Dwyer.

They've co-authored a brand new lavishly illustrated hardback book, called Split Ends, An Adventure in Music and Design.

And Scott Challen from Australian Marches was on the Ministry of Common Sense returning home from his regional tour of our great state.

One of the most amazing bands to come out of, yep, New Zealand and then Australia.

But they took on the world, had hit records, but the style associated with them.

Noel Crombie, one of the founders, founding members anyway, of the band is joining us a bit later on.

And Australia's premier music journo is one of them anyway, Michael Dwyer.

The book is full of photographs, designs and recollections of the band's eras from the 1970s through till now.

Noel Crombie's with us.

Thank you.

We appreciate it.

It's performance.

And right from those fairly early days, it was performance.

Noel Crombie is our guest.

We're talking about Split Ends, an adventure in music and design, which is a tour through the history of the band, but also particularly through the costumes and the visual impact of the band for which he had played such a big role.
