Tim Finn News

Just a heads up from us to you - Peter Green is regularly updating the old Tim Finn newsboard at http://www.frenz.com/timfinn/ while we're working to better integrate the blog into the main site. For the news direct from Peter, it's worth bookmarking that site.

Eddie Rayner launches new website

It's come to our attention at Frenz.com that Eddie Rayner, composer, keyboard player and arranger with Split Enz, producer, musical director, piano man for hire with Crowded House, and Paul McCartney amongst others, has launched a brand new website at eddierayner.com.

The site has a feast of goodies for the eyes and ears, and we highly recommend checking it out!

Any readers unfamiliar with Eddie's playing could do worse than to check out the live recording of "Bold As Brass", performed by Split Enz at the Nambassa Festival in 1979, which appears on the MySpace site for the soundtrack record here. It's a performance described by Eddie himself as one of his best.

CROWDED HOUSE TO PERFORM IN MELBOURNE, SYDNEY & HOBART

The Frontier Touring Company are delighted to announce a limited number of very special Crowded House concerts for this November/December, including the band's first visit to Tasmania since reforming two years ago.

Crowded House fans can catch the band in Sydney at the Enmore Theatre, in Melbourne at The Forum and in Hobart at Tolosa Park.

It's been almost twelve months since Crowded House undertook a sold out arena tour of Australia, but they certainly haven't been taking it easy, touring extensively worldwide for the past year with shows in America, Ireland, Russia and the UK's iconic Glastonbury Festival.

For the Hobart show Crowded House will be joined by multi ARIA Award winner Josh Pyke.  Josh's new album Chimney's Afire was released to rave reviews this week.

Don't miss out on Crowded House performing songs from their album Time On Earth (EMI) plus songs from their extensive back catalogue of hits, tickets aren't expected to last for long.
