Neil and Sharon Finn’s musical hookups

The Finns are a musical bunch. Neil has fronted the legendary Crowded House, sons Liam and Elroy play, and brother Tim led Split Enz and has made a heap of solo records. Back in 2011, Neil’s wife Sharon joined him on a record too. They called themselves The Pajama Club and together with Alana Skyring from The Grates on drums, they made an album. It was around then I asked them to Take 5. I remember wanting to move in with Neil and Sharon after this chat; they’re both so warm and laidback, and late nights at their place sound like a dream. From Talking Heads to Ladyhawke, settle in for some wonderful tales from this musical family. Talking Heads - ‘Heaven’ Augie March - ‘Dog’s Day’ Connan Mockasin - ‘Faking Jazz Together’ Ladyhawke - ‘Message To My Girl {triple j Like A Version 2009}’ The Smiths - ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’
