Nigel Griggs

G'day, all & sundry Frenz -

Be sure to celebrate the 18th of August in style as it is Nigel's birthday and - if I understand this correctly - it's a milestone birthday indeed (21 or thereabouts...). Should you have his Sleeper solo album or anything Schnell-wise or a hint of his Octopus/The Cortinas recordings with his brother Paul OR an Enz tune or so, share the bass with your neighbourhood c/- your own Griggs compilation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIGEL: hope that you have a great day. Everything in and Split Enz wouldn't have been as rich without you.

Everything in and around Split Enz wouldn't have been as rich without you. Many Happy Returns.

Anyone have any idea where someone might be able to find the Cortinas / Octopus material?

I bought a copy of Restless Night off Amazon a while back. It was a expanded remaster that claims to be the complete recorded output of Octopus. I can't remember if any of it was originally released while they were still the Cortinas. But there's some really good live stuff at the end, like I Am the Walrus and the Pier Gynt Suite.
