Shot Notes
This is Neil Finn playing the Crossroads stage on the final day of Bluesfest 2017. Neil is a prolific songwriter, guitarist and singer. He was awarded an OBE for services to New Zealand music in 1993 with his brother, Tim Finn. He was joined on stage by bandmate and Crowded House bassist, Nick Seymour. They played many of their classic songs to an appreciative audience who sang along to hit after hit to close a wonderful festival. Crowded House will return one last time for the final Byron Bay Bluesfest in Easter 2025, tickets are available via the Bluesfest Website.
UPDATE: In 2026 Bluesfest will be the last in a line of major festivals closed from increasing headwinds. This began before covid, with the previous state government’s legislative “war on festivals“. The new government risks letting this trend continue through inaction. However, you can change this. If 20,000 signatures are received, the NSW Parliament must debate Bluesfest’s future. #savebluesfest if you live in the state Sign up here.
