Musicians Neil and Tim Finn are Te Awamutu's most famous sons. Tim's band Split Enz - a theatrically costumed arthouse ensemble - morphed into a successful pop group after 18-year-old Neil joined in the late 1970s. The brothers were later both part of the internationally successful Crowded House. Archival audio sourced from Radio New Zealand Sound Archives, http://www.soundarchives.co.nz/.
