How I met Neil Finn

by yanne — 1 year ago

I was interviewing Tim, his brother in their hotel room. I was due to interview them both together as they were releasing ‘everyone is here’ but the record label had limited time, so I got to meet Tim, which was great and after our chat, Tim said ‘hold on a minute, I want you to meet Neil’.. and so I did, Neil was lovely and remarked that it must have been a good interview seeing as Tim had knocked on the door. I don’t know if that was true, but I’ve interviewed Tim since and he remembered me, so maybe it was..

A story about Neil Finn

by treegrrl — 2 years ago

Neil Finn is a musical God.

I’ve had the good fortunate of ‘meeting’ Neil Finn on a couple of occasions now, in Vancouver and Seattle, and most memorably last November and December when I was in Auckland and Sydney. I managed to get him one-on-one (well, it was me, Neil and his wife) twice in Auckland and had some unforgettable Neil Moments/Conversation. Then in Sydney, I managed to get recognized by Neil (!!!) while I was trying to blend in a crowd of fans, which floored me and pleased me to bits! He was very gracious for putting up with me asking him for autographs and photos, and asking him weird questions about banjos. ;)
