As we head into the second half of the year Tim continues to tick off his to do list with the announcement of North, South, East, West – Anthology (released October 2). In a first for Tim (one of many this year!) this release is all encompassing and career spanning, revisiting his days in legendary art/rock pioneers Split Enz, Crowded House (he joined brother Neil for the Woodface album and tour) and The Finn Brothers as well as tapping into songs from his rich solo career. The Anthology contains a few rarities and unreleased tracks as well as some new songs recorded this year (Nothing Unusual and Light Years Away), featuring guest appearances by Missy Higgins, Neil Finn, Liam Finn, Eddie Rayner, Bic Runga and others. Tim is incredibly proud of this release and it is just as much about looking forward as it is back.

To coincide with this special release Tim Finn has also announced the National Anthology Tour that will culminate in special headlining appearances at both the Homebake and Queenscliff Festivals. Tim will visit most of the country throughout November into December, capping off a remarkable return to the public spotlight. If recent performances are anything to go by, this will be a must-see tour. It will include Timâ€Ââ„¢s red hot live band and a set that features all of the songs that have made Tim Finn one of the worldâ€Ââ„¢s great artists. So come prepared to sing your way down memory lane.
