Jeff Apter is the author of Don’t Dream It’s Over: The Remarkable Life Of Neil Finn. Don't Dream It's Over is the first biography to focus exclusively on Neil Finn, the man who wrote the timeless hits of Split Enz and Crowded House.
In February 1980, 21-year-old Neil Mullane Finn penned the hit song 'I Got You' for Kiwi band Split Enz, co-founded by his older brother Tim. Over five decades, Neil created multiple hits for Split Enz, his band Crowded House and as a solo artist including “Don’t Dream It’s Over”, “Better Be Home Soon”, “One Step Ahead”, and “Into Temptation”. In 2018, he added one more impressive gig to his resume by joining Fleetwood Mac. Despite his success, Neil faced various challenges. He’s had conflicts with his brother Tim and had to cope with the tragic death of Crowded House bandmate Paul Hester. He had tough early days with Split Enz in England, surviving on welfare.
With a Catholic upbringing and a 40-year-long marriage to his wife Sharon, Neil's life has not been easy. Yet his story remains one of the most inspiring musical sagas in recent history. It’s all covered here in Jeff’s new book and he's here to share what's inside if his latest book!
