Neil Finn Official Website
Jesse Sheehan impressed many on the Dizzy Heights tour. A distinctive voice, yet it blends so well with Neil’s and Lisa’s. A fine guitarist, pianist and songwriter too. He’s offering his latest EP for free. – Team NF.
We would all like to thank you for your goodwill and applause over the last 3 weeks

Neil and band are on stage tonight at Cirque Royal in Brussels, the final European date on this Dizzy Heights Tour.
Click here for a review of Neil’s Friday night show in Amsterdam.
Last night saw Neil and his magnificent band perform in Berlin. They play Amsterdam’s Carre Theatre tonight. Gotta wonder if this song from Crowded House’s 2010 “Intriguer” album will get an outing.
A while back we uploaded Neil’s 2001 demo of “Time On Earth” – the song that gave Crowded House ‘s 2007 album its title, although it was left off that album. Here’s another previously unreleased song from those sessions recorded at Roundhead at the beginning of the millennium. Neil performed this in Dublin last week by special request: “Love Is All That Remains”. The demo features Lisa Germano and Sebastian Steinberg.
Hear more demos and previously unreleased goodies in The Kitchen Sink I and II, only at neilfinn.com.
The Gloria Theatre was the location for Neil’s concert in Cologne last night. “Black and White Boy” sneaked (some might say snuck) into the setlist. See the full list at www.frenzforum.com/topic/cologne-gloria-theatre
Tonight – Berlin.
Nottingham Post – Concert review here.
Thank you Nottingham, Cambridge and all those who came to see Neil and his band play in England, Scotland and Ireland. Neil returns to the stage in Cologne, Germany, on Wednesday.
Cambridge was treated to a partial performance of “Spirit of the Stairs” – its first appearance on this Dizzy Heights Tour. Here’s a live rendition with backing from Liam Finn and Bic Runga in 1998.

Neil Finn plays Festival Hall tonight in London. Can’t wait to see what gets played this time. Even “Edible Flowers” got an airing the other night – the first time Neil’s performed it without Tim. Here’s the original.
A three hour show last night in Dublin! And a guest appearance from fellow Crowded Housemate Nick Seymour!! Hard to top, but you know Neil’s always up for a challenge.

Update 4/5/14: see photos at http://thethinair.net/2014/05/in-photos-neil-finn-w-tiny-ruins-cork-opera-house/
Here’s Bob Dylan’s “She Belongs to Me”, which Neil sang last night. One of thirty-one songs in the setlist. This version by Pajama Club was recorded in 2012 for Amnesty International’s Chimes Of Freedom.
Neil’s band members on the UK/Ireland leg of the Dizzy Heights tour are Lisa Tomlins, Andrew Everding, Alistair Deverick, Sharon Finn, Jesse Sheehan and Tiny Ruins (Hollie Fullbrook, whose new album is released in May.) And all of them are rather lovely.
Dublin feels the love tonight at the Olympia Theatre.
Team Neil Finn
“I Feel Possessed” in Birmingham… “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out” with Johnny Marr in Manchester… Neil’s mixing up the setlist and breaking curfews every night, upsetting babysitters everywhere he goes. Check out fans’ recent concert reviews at www.frenzforum.com . Says one forum member, “I’ve seen this man play somewhere around 70 times – last night topped them all.”
Onwards to Dublin, Wednesday night!
