A musical take on the benefits of integration

Probably my favourite band over the last 30 years has been Crowded House. In lead singer and principal song writer Neil Finn, the Crowdies have a front man who at one turn can take you on a journey of emotional self discovery, and at another can simply extract the last possible ounce of pop from a foot tapping tune. With steadfast band members around him keeping his song writing honest, nothing about Neil Finn’s output is ever self indulgent, and the Crowded House back catalogue is a body of work of the highest order. Through the late 80s and early 90s, I had tickets for every Crowded House UK tour, plus festival events, and have also seen Neil Finn perform solo (supported by his wife and son) and as a duo with brother Tim. Always fantastic value for money.
