On Friday May 10, 2024, Neil Finn’s Roundhead Studios in Auckland became a Family and Friends event with the Infinity Session 1 taking place with Jimmy Barnes.
While the 1 after Infinity Sessions suggests this will not be a one-off event, the original Infinity Sessions took play in August 2017, resulting in Neil’s live recording of the ‘Out of Silence’ album.
Friday’s session also included Reb Fountain, Finn Andrews and Charlie Collins with cast:
Conductor & Arranger: Victoria Kelly
Violin 1: Jess Hindin & Peau Halapua
Violin 2: Lara Hall & Miyo Yoon
Viola: Joe Harrop & Crystal Lin
Cello: Sarah Spence & Rachel Wells
Additional vocals: EJ Barnes & Jimmy Metherell
Vibes: De Stevens
One of Jimmy’s performances revisited 2007’s ‘Out In The Blue’ album and the rarely performed ‘Blue Hotel’, written by Neil Finn.
