They Will Have Their Way

Overview

I love Neil and Tim Finn, and I wish wish wish they were Australian so we could claim them as our own.  But I do think the Aussie love affair with those boys has really had a fantastic impact on Australian/New Zealand relations.  Really, it’s most likely the only reason we are still allies.

It seems a lot of other Australians are head over heels for Neil and Tim as well, even some pretty fabulous musical Australians.  In fact, a whole raft of them created two fantastic albums titled She Will Have Her Way (released in 2005) and He Will Have His Way (released in 2010) a tribute to the songs of the Finn Brothers.  Obviously the ‘She’ album features lady musicians and the ‘He’ album has the blokes.

Both albums are totally great with the likes of Clare Bowditch, Missy Higgins, Boy and Bear, Lior and many more playing their favourite songs by Neil and/or Tim Finn.  This includes the oldies from Split Enz through to Crowded House, and their more recent solo and duo efforts - all totally beautiful and fabulous.

Now these songs will be performed live with a raft of lovely Aussie musicians (Clare Bowditch, Sarah Blasko, Sally Seltmann, Holly Throsby, Paul Dempsey, Lior and Alexander Gow) strutting the sounds of Neil and Tim on stage at QPAC.  There really is no need to spruik this, it will be amazing, and you should go.
