Neil Finn & Friends at St James Theatre, Auckland

phew.....what a week, one of the most memorable musical experiences of my life...it was such a joy to play music with Lisa, Sebastian, Phil, Ed, Johnny, Tim, Eddie, Liam, Matt, Joe Paul and Chris ... aside from the music, they are all such wonderful, open and generous people... it felt like a very special thing unfolded through the week ... We became a band in a very short period of time, a band with character and heart and then had the good sense to break up before it all turned to shit... we take away nothing but good memories and a stronger desire to play music for the sheer joy of it.

thank you to all of the weeks audiences.. there was some intense moments between us, some beautiful singing, some memorable heckling, you willed us on to some great heights.. I hear that the webcast was difficult for some of you to tune into.. its still a young technology and there will be trainwrecks but we are trying... hopefully most of you got to see and hear something of Friday nights show... I'm having a permanent setup installed in my studio so that by midyear I can do webcasts at the drop of a hat...watch this space
