Hi all,
This tidbit was in the gossip section of The Age on May 25...couldn't resist speculating/fantasising:

"...the ARIA Hall of Fame, which is about to be vastly expanded on Bastille Day at the Plaza in Collins Street. Diary [name of column] hears of a preliminary photoshoot of singing legends at the Pioneer studio in Sydney just days ago: the likes of...Hunters and Collectors, the Easybeats, SPLIT ENZ. Collins Street may be the place to hunt autographs on July 14."

Does anyone know if either a) there is truth to the rumour (about the photoshoot) and b) whether all my dreams will come true and the boys will 'regroup' for the occasion?

Then again, it could just be my imagination running wild...

I think it could be very near true.

Oh bugger, If there's a gig coming up, it's going to be expensive...

an Enz Reunion has always been the spontaneous no time to think about it max out the credit card on air travel thing. It's very much a wherever,whenever it's on, I'll be there sort of thing. I don't know whether it's the ultimate mark of being an Enz fan, or just plain stupid. All I do know is that I wouldn't miss an Enz gig for the world. I think reading fan reviews of one, knowing i'd missed it, would be possibly one of the few things that would be guaranteed to make me cry.

OK, I'm holding my breath now for Peter's next update of "Famous For 16 minutes," just in case it's mentioned there! If it *does* happen, I'll be crying -- I can't even make a mad dash for home that weekend, as blueno1se and I have tickets for a Broadway musical on the 15th!

Couldn't have explained a Split Enz gig better my self. That's dedication above and beyond the call of duty Eeker

I would also be digging the family silver up from the backyard to attend a Split Enz reunion.

Could someone just clarify whether the article is referring to Collins Street in Sydney (the article does mention Sydney) or whether they mean Collins Street in Melbourne. I work in Collins Street in Melbourne so you can guess how happy I would be if it was Melbourne.

Wow - if this actually eventuates in whatever form, my credit card will be joining ::iarla::'s Wink

And thats's exactly what happenned when I missed WaveAid. And you know if the Enz reform, it'll be in Australia (Or NZ), WHICH I JUST LEFT. So if this event does occur, I shall start a club for those who missed out. "Depressed Frenz". Frowner

I don't know if they'll actually get together to play a gig, seeing as the Finns are having a short 're-tour' of Oz in the following weeks, before heading back to Europe.

I'd be thrilled just to see them all in the one place!

Oh no, that wasn't meant to be a separate post! I lose all coordination when I get excited.

I just read the latest edition of 16min:

"Go through Enz photo images for some future 'stuff'... all will be revealed soon. It's a goal that I always wanted the band to obtain...getting close."

Could it be that Mr Green is referring to the Enz being finally inducted into the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Awards) Hall of Fame??? This sounds somewhat likely in light of the article in The Age (Melbourne daily metropolitan newspaper).

I didn't know that the Hall of Fame actually had a home, so I'm thinking that if I'm not completely off the mark, Peter is sourcing material for an Enz display...

It will be Collins St in Melbourne. It refers to The Plaza, which is an old ballroom attached to the Regent Theatre, and just the sort of place where the ARIAS would hold a function.

What exactly do you mean by heading back to Europe?? Did I miss something??

I'm also getting the feeling that my poor credit card, which took a real battering over this European tour, might be in for another one! (meaning the Enz gig of course!)

I would say that's exactly what it is, especially if this extract from Famous for 16 Minutes is anything to go by...

Anyway, all you (potentially) lucky folks, keep your eyes and ears peeled and Enz radars tuned! Big Grin

Thanks HC

Since its in Melbourne I'll be heading down there at lunchtime that day - I'm down the other end of Collins Street, but its still a quick tram ride for me Razzer

If I see anything etc I'll report here. I hang out for reports from other people regarding gigs and events so its always a joy for me to post a report. Not so much a joy for anyone reading maybe, my fingers tend to prattle on with every little detail Roll Eyes

Its times like these when you really wish you could have one of those looooong lunches Razzer
