The Finn Brothers: Fellowship of the Finns
Gavin Martin, Independent, The, 20 August 2004
THE FINN BROTHERS are back for a short visit to London, the city where their fitful professional career began in earnest, 27 years ago. At first, there's just Neil Finn, myself and an expensive bowl of fruit in the hotel room in Baker Street. After cheerily inspecting the produce, Neil explains his brother's absence. "Tim must have been delayed he has a six-year-old son obsessed with Lord of the Rings. He's never seen it but he wants all the toys. It gives his dad something to do between interviews."
