Neil Finn

Live It Up is a feature documentary celebrating Mental as Anything, the art-school band whose irreverent humour, visual art and clever pop songs made them one of Australia's most distinctive cultural forces. Following the release of Nips Are Getting Bigger in 1979, the Mentals rose quickly from inner-city Sydney pubs to national fame, becoming masters at capturing Australian suburban life with warmth, wit and playfulness. While success came fast, they never treated it with reverence. Funny, warm and unexpectedly moving, Live It Up explores how Mental as Anything navigated fame, longevity and the pressures of the music industry while holding fast to their humour and creative spirit - revealing why their music continues to resonate today.

Hosted by Jeremy Fernandez and Megan Burslem, this concert showcases why the Australian Chamber Orchestra is one of the most distinct, inventive and renowned ensembles on the world stage today.

Legendary drummer Mick Fleetwood enlisted an all-star cast for a one-of-a-kind concert honouring the early years of Fleetwood Mac and its founder, Peter Green. The concert was held on 25th February 2020 at the London, Palladium. The bill included Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour, Jonny Lang, Andy Fairweather Low, John Mayall, Christine McVie, Zak Starkey, Steven Tyler, Bill Wyman, Noel Gallagher, Pete Townshend, Neil Finn, Kirk Hammett and many more. Legendary producer Glyn Johns joined as the executive sound producer and the house band featured Fleetwood himself along with Rick Vito, Andy Fairweather Low, Dave Bronze and Ricky Peterson.

Filmed in front of a live audience in March 2021 in Auckland, Aotearoa, “Live From The Island” was one of New Zealand’s first full capacity sold-out arena performances since the onset of COVID, and Crowded House's first concert since 2011. Neil Finn said, “We were truly blessed to be able to play 12 real live gigs in NZ, the band together after a year of lockdown, sensing the occasion and playing as if everything was brand new and full of wonder. We can’t wait to share this beautifully captured performance from Auckland with our fans around the world in anticipation of being on the stage for them in person once again.” The band, comprised of Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, Liam Finn and Elroy Finn, showcase tracks from their new record Dreamers Are Waiting, including singles Whatever You Want, To The Island and Playing With Fire alongside their legendary catalogue – Something So Strong, Don’t Dream It’s Over, Mean To Me, World Where You Live, and more.

When he was told he’d be interviewing rock stars Neil Finn and Nick Seymour, Charles Wooley was expecting stories about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Instead he got cops, rabbis and missing money. But Neil and Nick’s beloved Australian – and Kiwi – band Crowded House has always been a little bit different. It seems like only yesterday they first sang their way into our heads and hearts, but in fact they’ve been writing and performing their hit songs for 30 years. So to celebrate the milestone, Neil and Nick took Charles on a nostalgic journey back to where it all started.

Twenty years after bidding farewell to 100,000 people lining the Sydney Opera House foreshore, Crowded House return with an encore performance to celebrate their 30th anniversary and induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame. From humble beginnings in Melbourne to chart-topping international success following the release of their ground-breaking debut self-titled album, Crowded House has remained an Australian cultural institution, with over ten million albums sold across the globe. Now, celebrate the legendary group with another incredible live event that sees the band perform all their biggest hits over a full two-hour show, including ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’, ‘Fall At Your Feet’, ‘Weather With You’, ‘Better Be Home Soon’ and many more.

Christine McVie is undoubtedly the longest-serving female band member of any of the enduring rock ‘n’ roll acts that emerged from the 1960s. While she has never fronted Fleetwood Mac, preferring to align herself with ‘the boys’ in the rhythm section whom she first joined 50 years ago, Christine is their most successful singer-songwriter. Her hits include ‘Over My Head’, ‘Don’t Stop’ and ‘Everywhere’. After massive global success in both the late 1970s and mid-1980s, Christine left the band in the late 1990s, quitting California and living in semi-retirement in Kent, only to rejoin the band in 2013. In this 90-minute film, this most English of singers finally gets to take centre-stage and tell both her story and the saga of Fleetwood Mac from her point of view.

Special performance by Crowded House on 16th Nov 2016. This was the rehearsal before their Encore Sydney Opera House Concert. Live Facebook streaming event.

Over the years a series of remarkable shows have been played out at a small renovated chapel in the heart of Melbourne’s shopping precinct. Live at the Chapel captures that special-venue energy — where every thrashed chord, broken string, splash of sweat and murmured aside is visible and audible. The DVD features a dynamic lineup of international and Australian artists delivering live performances in front of an intimate crowd, bringing the raw excitement of live rock and pop to home-viewing.

Mini-Documentary aired in 2001 on Foxtel's MusicMax featuring interviews with Neil Finn, Tim Finn and covering Crowded House and Neil's solo career.

On his own, Neil Finn continues to purvey remarkable songcraft, music that's subtly irresistible. In performance, with Finn's ace band featuring his teenaged son, Liam, on guitar and drums, his music is yet more immediate, even more intense.

Neil Finn brings together some of his musician friends from around the globe for an awesome series of concerts at the St. James theatre in Auckland, New Zealand. Includes performances with Johnny Marr, Eddie Vedder and Radiohead's Ed O'brien and Philip Selway. Along with kiwi artists Tim Finn and Betchadupa.

Saturday 7 February 2009 will forever be known as Black Saturday. On this day the worst bushfires in the history of Australia caused devastation across Victoria like never seen before. The effect this terrible tragedy had was felt not only here, but worldwide. Almost simultaneously Queensland was undergoing its own tragedy, with the state experiencing widespread flooding. In response to our nation's greatest ever natural disasters, Australia's music community, along with some of the biggest music names internationally, banded together for two stadium benefit concerts that ran simultaneously in both Melbourne and Sydney under the unified banner SOUND RELIEF.

"The story of the making of Woodface is about brothers - the good and the bad, and what happens when you tinker with a band's chemistry. Neil and Tim Finn and fellow Crowded House bass player Nick Seymour discuss the highs and lows of the year it took to make Woodface. Along the way, Neil Finn revisits the master tapes, uncovering secrets that have laid hidden for a decade. He also spontaneously performs a number of Woodface songs exclusively for this documentary. Other interviews include Jimmy Barnes, Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil), Reg Mombassa and Pete O'Doherty (Mental as Anything). The DVD contains extended interviews with Neil Finn and Nick Seymour."

Sam Neill narrates this documentary plotting the career of one of Aotearoa's most successful bands: from formation by Mike Chunn, Phil Judd and Tim Finn at Auckland University in 1971 to their demise in 1984, when Neil Finn walked away. The major players talk freely about good times and bad — art rock, the wayward genius of Judd (including a rare interview), Noel Crombie’s spoon playing and costume design, hard times in England and the punk backlash, the big pop hits after Neil joined, Tim’s solo album, an obsession with paper darts, and the pre-gig ritual of One For One.

On November 24, 1996, Crowded House performed their last ever concert to a crowd of more than 120,000 people on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.
