About this episode

Crowded House perform live at Maida Vale with the BBC Concert Orchestra. Founded in 1985 by New Zealand guitarist, singer and songwriter Neil Finn after his departure from the Australian band Split Enz, Crowded House quickly found international success with songs including Don't Dream It's Over, Something So Strong and World Where You Live. Despite various line up changes and breaks to pursue other projects over the past 3 decades, Crowded House remains hugely popular with its audiences around the world. In May their 8th studio album, Gravity Stairs is due for release, before they perform a series of concerts throughout the UK this summer. Their Piano Room set features the classic Four Seasons In One Day, Oh Hi from their forthcoming album and a new take on Tony Hatch's Downtown, a massive hit for Petula Clark and a song which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
