Tim Finn Anthologises

2009 has been a busy year for Tim Finn, commencing with launching the acclaimed stage production Poor Boy (co-created with playwright, Matt Cameron and starring Guy Pearce).  Then it was on to Tropfest in Sydney where Tim played to over 85,000 people in a performance that was broadcast around the country. He performed at  Bluesfest Byron Bay, with two outstanding performances.

Later in the year there was the Sydney launch of Poor Boy (with Matthew Newton taking over the lead role) an appearance on the high rating TV program ‘Random Acts Of Kindness’ and a cameo appearance in an independent NZ film, Predicament, starring alongside Jermaine Clement (Flight Of The Conchords) which will be released in early 2010.
