1pm Kiwi classic ENZSO celebrates 21 years

Split Enz and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra joined forces 21 years ago to perform and record some of the best known Kiwi hits. ENZSO is now returning, in a smaller set up, with original ENZSO leader Eddie Rayner at the helm. He shares his memories, how he orchestrated some classic Kiwi tunes and how this music is still relevant 21 years later.
