Crowded Gold ,

Love this podcast

Chris curates a wonderful mix of live performances from one of our great songwriters and performers- Neil Finn and Crowded House.
He also includes a weekly covers from fans which is a really cool way to end each episode. Great for fans of the band and for newbies who want to do a deep dive into this highly underrated band.

Fun Geek-out

A fun geek-out session for us Crowdies and Frenz desiring more in-depth talk and live rarities you won’t find in mainstream media.

Finntastic live tracks podcast!

Thanks Jafa for a great podcast! It’s great to revisit, or hear for the first time, these highlights from Neil Finns shows over the decades. Whether it’s Neil solo, or Crowded House, Finn Brothers or Split Enz; Neil always delivers live and brings new life to his vast catalogue of songs.
I love hearing the Finn Brothers tracks and it’s great that you highlight the banter before and after the songs, especially the CH ones with Paul Hester, that demonstrate how much fun it is at Neil’s concerts.
I have been a fan for over 30 years and also have a vast live library of concerts that are in frequent rotation, yet I still hear something new each time I play them. That’s the joy of Neil Finns music.
I heartily recommend subscribing to this great podcast!
