Re: Given Neil's Announcement, is CH Through?
I'm at the point where I'm just thrilled that any of my favorite musicians are continuing to create new music and/or tour. We just purchased tickets to see ELO, Finnwood Mac, and Rosanne Cash and I'm beyond happy that these acts continue to tour even when they technically don't need to at this point. I just hope that Neil continues to follow his muse wherever that takes him whether it's solo, Crowded House, Finn Brothers, or whatever.

Re: Given Neil's Announcement, is CH Through?
If Crowded House are finished, I'm just going to borrow Ian Brown's words when he referred to the reunion of The Stone Roses: "don't be sad that it's finished. Just be happy that you saw it happen." As someone who was far too young to appreciate Crowded House in the 1990s or even attend a gig of theirs, I was glad I got to see them when finally did. I even got to see Paul in his final ever performance with Neil and Tim when they played The Palais.

Crowded House Blog
Hi, Not posted here before, although been reading for years. I've joined up to share a blog I recently wrote about Crowded House, and Neil's writing in general. I was getting frustrated with telling people I like Crowded House and them breaking into 'everywhere you go, always take the weather with you!' But not knowing any of the other stuff. I don't mean that in a snobby, elitest way. There are plenty of bands who I only really like one song by, whilst the rest of their catalogue doesn't do...

Contacting the man himself
Hi all! :) Does anyone have any idea how to send good ol fashioned fan mail to Neil? I've tried the contact page on his web but that's all I'm able to find. don't wanna be a creep but would love to reach out, as I fear one day I'll never get the chance. Much love to you friends

COOL, One of a Kind-Crowded House Signed Children's Ironing Board
One of a Kind Crowded House Signed Ironing Board needs a new home. Hi everyone! I just found this site. I'm a big fan, and saw them on their first tour in Detroit 9-15-87. I met the band and had them sign this small, toddler sized ironing board. It's very cool and has their signatures and doodles of course! I need to downsize, and wondered if any fan, living in USA, would like it. I will make it reasonable. :) Hope it's okay to do this on this site. :) Not sure how this site works, but...

4. Try Whistling This/Spirit if the Stairs. Hard to decide, and feels like cheating cause I partly consider Spirit of the Stairs as CH song, but Neil solo definitely improved it... and when I looking at it, noticed that even 2 of 5 songs wasnt even on official releases...so much about whoever choosed songs for official albums...

Re: Top 4 Neil Finn Solo Songs
Wow ... this is nearly impossible but here goes in no particular order ... and I can't keep it to four songs ... sorry but I couldn't narrow it past the top ten. Songs are posted below ... 1. Lullaby Requiem (may be my favorite Neil Finn song period) 2. Guiding Star (affects me deeply every time I hear it) 3. Blue Hotel (obscure song but brilliant ... oh so brilliant) 4. Chameleon Days (the second half of the song is where it gets me) 5. Widow's Peak (goosebumps) 6. Love Is All That Remains...

Re: Top 4 Neil Finn Solo Songs
I tried but couldn’t do it... Best I can do is top 4 in no order (as I listen to his solo albums right now). Rest Of The Day Off (its almost summer here in Australia and it’s a Saturday and I’m taking today off) Last To Know (fixing lawn sprinklers and listening to my young kids playing) Last One Standing (always a personal fav of mine) Second Nature (album version) Subject to change!!!

It has to be 5...sorry! 1. Into the Sunset 2. Flying in the Face of Love 3. Sinner 4. Chameleon Days 5. Anytime Ah...that involved quite a bit of decision making.

Re: Top 4 Neil Finn Solo Songs
This song didn't wow me the first time, I forgot about it for a couple of years until playing it just the other day. It's a gorgeous song. I have a love/hate relationship with the production on One Nil. This is one of the high points. "Feel like an accident waking up Under a bus with my fingers crossed Now is the time we could make it up" This part sounds amazing.

Good luck, Trish. I've seen Finns as a loner before, but I never felt alone once the show began, eyes locked on the stage. Have met and made Frenz there too. Maybe there will be a spare ticket at will call for you at the last minute. Fingers crossed. I wish they would play some smaller towns in my region one day! We have a very historic, renovated, vaudeville (with an actual, "colored-person" entrance– not used anymore) theatre called the Lyric, here in Birmingham AL, so if the good Mr. Finn...

I'm expecting there will be a better chance of getting a ticket closer to the day as things do tend to pop up at the last minute, but the sooner I can secure a ticket, the better - fingers, toes, and every hair crossed that someone has a spare! 🙏

I've posted to all three event dates, plus on a couple of buy/sell groups. Even if it's only one ticket I can get, I'll be happy, I just want to see Neil and co live! (I'm too young to have seen CH live; wasn't even born whilst SE were around!)

Not part of those groups (I follow the official pages for Neil and Liam, didn't think about posting there though as most people don't read visitor posts) - do you have links to the groups?

I've looked at the visitor posts and not much action there as I suspected; in my experience, groups are a lot better for fan interaction. Thanks heaps for the link to the competition, I'll have to try to come up with something creative, but what to say in 25 words or less...! 🤔

Hi Trish, I have 2 tickets to the Saturday of the River Boats Festival, which is now sold out. Neil is playing I the evening. They cost me $170 for the two and off course as FRENZ do I'm happy to sell them for the same as I paid for them. Let me know within 24 hours via private message if you can please.

Re: Setlist and/or Rehearsal Songs
Article said that Stevie pushed for Free Fallin even though Mike Campbell isn't a big fan of the song after playing it for so many years. Sounds like the band is going more for crowd pleasers over more obscure songs. Fingers of Love would be fantastic in this setting.
