Finn spreads the word

Tim Finn talks about future recordings with brother, Neil, being made an Officer of the British Empire, and the recent spate of band reunions (Spilt Enz and Crowded House included) in an interview with Pittsburgh’s Observer-Reporter. He also discusses his musical tribute to former Crowded House band-mate Paul Hester, who passed away in 2005. “I wanted to remember and I wanted to honour him, and do something he would be proud of and feel good about,” he said, of the song Salt to the Sea. “It’s a way for me to go on stage and talk about it without talking about it, if you know what I mean.” Finn is currently touring the US to promote his latest solo album, Imaginary Kingdom. The select series of radio appearances and small acoustic shows is intended to set the stage for a more comprehensive tour in the US summer.
