BEST SEAT IN THE CROWDED HOUSE
When I went to the Finn concert I thought: ‘These seats aren’t too bad,’ just halfway back in Founder’s Theatre. After the opening acts — Bic Runga (what a brilliant voice), and some guy Dave (who everyone talked through his performance) — the Finn Brothers from my home town, TeAwamutu, came on.
After about two songs, Neil said: “It’s your night, and do what you will.” I went and stood in the middle, below the stage floor, and danced. Then they said we could sit on stage for the last hour, 30 minutes of their performance. So, there I was, paying S3O for the best seat in the house, two metres in front of the singing Finn Brothers. After the performance, when everyone had gone home, I talked to Petra from Ice TV (she’s awesome), then went back stage and met Tim and Neil and got autographs and stuff. Anyway, to everyone who went to any of the Finn concerts, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Neil and Tim Finn Fan, Te Awamutu. PS: RipltUp is the best music " mag out!
