About Me

Crowded Scouse provide the UKs leading tribute to the music of Neil Finn and Crowded House. Formed in 2001, they have built up a reputation for recreating an accurate live sound and the great sense of fun for which Crowded House were renowned.Joe & Mark had been playing in bands together since their teens, and always been Crowdies fans, so it seemed a natural thing when they gave up playing their own material to begin playing acoustic nights as Crowded Scouse.They were soon joined by Big Al on guitars and continued as a trio until Vin (a self confessed Finnatic!) who had been to see the Scousers a couple of times, offered his services as Bass player Oh and I know drummer as well. Enter Shoeless MJ!The band debuted on one of the main stages of Mathew Street 2003 and then progressed to become regulars on all the major tribute venues up and down the country.This year they opened the Show at MSF 2005 on the main Pier Head stage this is great I wonder if they can hear us in Birkenhead .and they could!There have been a few comings and goings in the guitar dept of CS , and when a free CD was offered recently on this website one of the hundreds of people who replied turned out to be a great guitarist and fellow fan Alan Mac (the King!) who has proven to be the final factor that makes the band complete.The great thing about the Scousers is, they are genuine Finn fans, its all about playing music they love for other fans, so there are no dodgy accents or wigs! What you do get is great music, with a strong emphasis on fun and audience participation.Dont Dream its not overThis profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile Editor
