Often acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest singer songwriters,  and compared to Paul McCartney, who is a fan, Neil Finn has had a pretty regular life. He comes from a happy and musical home, which he shared with his older brother Tim.  First in Split Enz and then in his own band, Crowded House, the brothers demonstrated a capacity to make joyful hooky music that became worldwide hits.

Rock journalist Jeff Apter has written biographies of Keith Urban, Gwen Stefani, The Bee Gees and Jeff Buckley. He talks about the genre of rock/pop biography, and explains how lyrics can reveal more than any interview.
