Indeed Jaffaman, updated to Windows Media 11 player and cleared cache and what a magic interview, with 'spoons'.

Noel and John seemed to know John Campbell quite well, maybe from the Wellington days when John Campbell was at Victoria University and on Radio Active on campus (the first FM station in N.Z. i believe).

John Campbell interviewed both Tim and Noel separately for "Playing Favourites" on National Radio back around 2000/2001. Neil and Mike did that slot too, actually. Must be Eddie's turn sometime soon.

OH

MY

GOD

!!!



THERE IS A GOD!!!

Trying to hold back the happy tears here!

"If I had words..."

Yowza! Euuuuwe little beauty!
Fantastic news Gryph. They'll be partying in Whakapapa & Papatoetoe tonight!

That's something to add to the old Christmas list...



Any sign of Farnsie outside that band room?
Watch him, he's a feisty one.
Have a great show.

OMG!!!!

Soooooooo tempting...

It is tempting! I am seriously thinking about going to New Zealand! I need to start saving, Im hoping that I can make it happen and see Split Enz! Would be great!

Keep your eyes on http://www.frenz.com/splitenz/, The http://www.frenz.com homepage, and of course http://blog.frenz.com.

There's a number of things we're rolling out at the moment, some within the next few hours, and some over the course of the next week.

As always, we're trying to keep the blog up to date so that Enz fans around the Globe have a central resource to get all news and article links. We'd be very happy if people could email us, either iarla@frenz.com or tracy@frenz.com and we'll get the news up as soon as we can.

It's probably too soon to ask questions, but I read the blurb on NZ Ticketmaster. It doesn't mention a separate drummer, so will Noel be taking those duties? Or was it a mistake?

If the answer is in those links above, I haven't clicked and further investigated.

Well Aika, since it is the T & T lineup I think that would be a yes on Crombers hitting the skins!

This is freaking killing me ...

I am going to Australia and New Zealand in the new year for a holiday. It was a good thing I have not yet booked my plane ticket. I really hope I can make it to this concert. I was in Sydney Australia in 2006. I tried to live out there but could not get the right job and ran out of money so went back to the UK and missed the Enz OZ tour which was a great shame. I will try to make it this time round.
Who is in the line up for this tour? I think it is Tim,Nigel,Eddie,Noel and Neil. What about Mal? Tim did say the drummer was Someone Barker. Who is he and is he really the new drummer? What was all that about some new songs. I can't see this being anymore than the 3 gigs in NZ as Crowded House are ment to be making a new CD in the new year and a frestival tour of Europe mid year.

Baker, Barker? Well, if it's Baker, it's either Ginger or Tammy. As Ginger's no longer with us on the physical plane (RIP), & Tammy's busy with the chocolate cake, looks like the drum stool might be going to Michael Barker. Who? Michael Barker, you know,
Clive's brother.

I can feel my Amex card searching for airfare immediately after reading this.

Erm, Tammy is no longer with us either Seany with or without cake.

The T & T lineup was/should be Tim, Neil, Nigel, Noel & Eddie! Mal was not part of that line-up. Not a clue who this Barker is. Perhaps Tim's drummer for his US tour?

He is the drummer with Australian band The John Butler Trio. Tammy was a big fan. Although i best not jinx the poor chap.

Poor Tammy. I'm sure she went straight to heaven. & so young too. Still, only the good etc...

Spoons! Spoons i say!!



but then how very droll of me...

Since playing on the Enzso tour, Michael's played drums with Neil, Tim, Eddie and Phil, according to http://www.frenz.com/michaelbarker

Ah! Thanks for that Jaffa. Leave it to you...

I could hardly sleep last night! Kept my girlfriend up for hours talking about how awesome it's gonna be, what merchandise I can buy, etc, etc. This is too exciting for words, man!

Ha! You are who I immediately thought of Gav! So glad the guys are coming home to treat you all to some gigs. If I thought for one second that I could pull it off, I'd be right there with you. Just can't do it this time around

What a treat for New Zealand

Who was that drummer? Over here it was Matt Eccles, but he is in his early twenties.

Gav, you lucky man you!

Seany., what is your obsession with Farnsie?? Don't tell me you miss him!

BaB, if I will the lottery, I will pay for plane tickets for both of us. But as that doesn't seem very likely... History never repeats..


-------------------------------------------------------

I really might have to start playing the lottery over this news! Even if I just do scratch tickets. If I win Suze, you're in

Hmmmmm, maybe we'll get a 2008 tour vid. out of this...

So thrilled for Kiwi Frenz and anyone else who can go, but *throws major bratty tanty*

As I said to my girlfriend last night, I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! (Only every night will feel like Christmas Eve until March 23rd!) If you guys can make it, please do!

Now that would be fab..."Split Enz Go Home".

as a last resort, someone's going to have to buy me a t-shirt, my one from the 2006 season is now only rarely worn to stop it from falling apart!

Why is Michael Barker Playing Drums for the Enz and not Mal Green?

New site at http://www.frenz.com/splitenz/ is up.

There's really not much up there for forum members yet, it's more to direct new people to the news resources - i.e. here and the blog.

There's a whole bunch of stuff that is 90% done including a really cool mini site surrounding the Luton Sessions

Peter has sent me a bunch of stuff, and there's more to come

Thanks Iarla!!

So we're all going gangbusters on lotto tickets then !

Thought someone in Dunner's might be really happy about this !! Gav did I hear a faint squeal of delight?? Oh that's right, boys don't squeal.

Why they don't include Dunedin in the lineup is beyond me. Seems most of the Christchurch concert goers are from Dunedin!! There is Carisbrook Stadium which I'm sure would be rained out and windy, but still have them turn up in droves, from down south and the west coast.

Yup, the mind is calculating.

Hmmm... tempted! Thank god for frequent flyer points Any others that may be travelling solo want to meet up/do day trips? How do you fit sightseeing into only a few days

I've just posted in another thread about this.

I want to be there. I notice its over the Easter (Australia) weekend, which helps.

Thank goodness I didn't get the job which I recently went for, or I'd have been locked in, without having been able to advise that I have a holiday booked in March At least now I can say that in any further interviews (they often ask anyway).

How exciting is this. I want to do all 3 shows if at all possible.

Just spoke with Ticketek, no word on pre-sales like Ticketmaster for Auckland.

http://www.ticketmaster.co.nz/artist/1174109/?search_re...ink=tm_header_search

But if i can scrape up the money i want to be one of the first in at a Ticketek branch for public sales at 9am Thursday 15th November.

Cause judging how quick Crowded House sold out at TSB Wellington.

Either sold out months before the gig, or maybe more dates ?.

I'm thinking I probably wont be able to afford to go

I'll have to check the budget over the weekend & my YHA book to see if there's a cheap option.

*disappointed look*

Woohoo! I'm totally loving this. I am so there. Will have to see how many shows I can get to with work. Haven't been to NZ for over 20 years, so I'm overdue!

Peter did say those are the dates "so far", so I'm thinking there are others (whether they are other locations or else additional dates in those cities).

Woooo! Michael Barker! What an awesome drummer, I so have to go to this now! Luckily, despite the fact that my 21st was some weeks ago now, my parents are yet to give me a present so I've asked for points for the flight to Auckland.
