Speaker 2: Crowded House more recently, Fleetwood Mac. I used to blast

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: Neil Finn out of my teenage window. Actually I was

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: in my twenties by there and hoping he'd hear it

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: and drop in for a cup of tea, which is weird. Well,

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: now he wants to help the music industry get back

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 2: on its feet with music charity Support Act to tell

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: us more Neil Finn.

11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Hello, hello there, how are you? I didn't know that

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: about you. I would have come in for a cover.

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: Well, I'd appreciate that. How do you have your tea?

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: Just for future reference, Just.

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: Straight gumboo tea with a bit of milk, right, no sugar?

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: All right?

17
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: So Neil in your life, because your music is pretty omnipresent.

18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: You're walking down the street and you hear any of

19
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: your music blaring out of a window, would you be

20
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: inclined to knock on the door and say, hey, how

21
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 3: are you? Would you want to?

22
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: That'd be really quite bold of me if I did that. No, no,

23
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: but I have had that pleasure, And if I've heard

24
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: walk past pubs and h cover bands playing my songs,

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: which and it's just absolutely politeful. You know. It just

26
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: reminds you how songs travel. They have their own life

27
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: to let them go and they go off and fly

28
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: anywhere they want.

29
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, tell us about Support Act. What does Support

30
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: Act provide for musicians?

31
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: Well, a Support Act is actually very established now and

32
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: or was always of huge value to musicians, support crew,

33
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: music people in general to help with medical emergencies, mental

34
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: health issues because a lot of people are not doing

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: that well out of music and it's very transitory. And

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: this was even before a pandemic, and of course the

37
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: pandemic came along in the lockdowns and it absolutely devastated

38
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: the whole industry those shows. People were looking for alternative employment.

39
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: So Support Act have really become super valuable. In the

40
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: last eighteen months, I've.

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,639
Speaker 2: Been reading that they've committed twenty three point eight million

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: dollars in crisis really grants to ten thousand music workers

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: in need, because is where the whole the government was

44
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: sur supplying for other members of a community. But it

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: seems that musicians and these kind of gig workers just

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: didn't get that help from the government.

47
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Well, no, I mean to some extent, it sits through

48
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: the cracks, always has, and one of the good things

49
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: about music is that it's outside, you know, the normal luck.

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: A lot of these people have been really struggling for

51
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: a long time in support act of Yeah, they really

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: stepped up. It's an amazing contribution they've already made and

53
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: what become the most valuable assistance to the entire music

54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: industry really of any organization. So I'm very happy to

55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: try and help them out and bring some publicity to

56
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: the cause.

57
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: The last time we spoke to you, we're just about

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: to embark on the tour with Fleetwood Mac. We haven't

59
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 3: unpacked that. How did that all go?

60
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Well, it was amazing. There was a lot of experience,

61
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, to be to get a surprised phone call

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: out of the blue when you think you know what

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: your life is mapped out, and feeling pretty good about

64
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: my musical experience. But yeah, that was just an amazing experience.

65
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: And somehow we managed to complete what ninety five shows

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: or something just before the world all changed, and so

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: we found our blessings. Having said that, Stevie did end

68
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: up in hospital with pneumonia and we still manage to

69
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: get to the end of the tour. So yeah, Heavens

70
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: be praised.

71
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,680

76
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: thing where I don't wear words on my shirts. But

77
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, it just goes back a long way. I

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: think then there'll be somebody out there who'll kind of

79
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,800

82
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: dusted image and no words, I'm good with it. One

83
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,520

85

87
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: and I treasure it. But I've been given quite a

88
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: few over the years. I've got a few of my own, obviously,

89
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,080
