In February 1980 21-year-old Neil Mullane Finn wrote I Got You which became the signature song and the biggest hit for the Kiwi band Split Enz which had been co-founded by Neils big brother Tim several years earlier. Over the next five decades Neil not only nurtured one of the finest heads of hair in music but he crafted hit after hit Dont Dream Its Over Better Be Home Soon One Step Ahead Into Temptation and more for Split Enz for his own chart-topping band Crowded House and as a solo act. In his spare time in 2018 he joined international superstars Fleetwood Mac who added his Dont Dream Its Over to their sets. Neil is the most successful singer/ songwriter of his generation from this end of the planet and probably the most respected. Neil has endured his share of challenges. There was massive conflict with his older brother especially when Tim was briefly invited to join Crowded House in 1990; the tragic death by suicide of close friend and Crowded House bandmate Paul Hester; and his hardscrabble early days in England with Split Enz surviving but only just on the dole. Stir in his devout Catholic upbringing a marriage to wife Sharon that has somehow lasted more than 40 years a miracle in the world of pop music and the efforts of his sons Liam and Elroy to also pursue a career in music and the result is one of the most inspiring musical sagas of recent times.
