Fink, aka Fin Greenall, is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and DJ. He was born in 1972 in Cornwall, grew up in Bristol and is currently based in Brighton, UK. His mother worked in the field of classical music and his father was a folk musician. Fin can recall “the one thing of his dad’s that Fin Greenall wasn’t allowed to touch was the old Martin acoustic guitar.” In an interview, Greenall remembers “It was his one possession where he said, ‘everything in this house is owned by everybody – apart from that.'” Their presence had an impact on his future in music. “The great thing about growing up in a house where music is a big factor… was the fact that music being part of your life was a perfectly natural thing.”
“… music being a part of your life was a perfectly natural thing.”
True for me – true for my kids. My Mark was stunned at age 6 to learn that a piano was not a given in every house.
What a blessing it’s been.
And lucky he was…
This guy is a good guitarist and he has a good voice, but his elocution wasn’t great. Two out of three “ain’t bad” though. And maybe it’s just in this song. I haven’t heard him sing anything else.
Elocution. Deep.
Haunting — reaches in and holds on. Thanks for this intro to Fin’s music. Hope you have a great weekend, Dave.
Yes, love his music Sandy. Thanks. You too.
Never heard of him but I really liked him.
Yes, he’s great. I introduced Rachel to him and she even liked it. (Shocking that Dad and Rachel might like same music)
I’ve never heard of him before – reminds me a little of David Grey and I love him..well, I don’t know him, but I love his music.
I’m big fan of David Gray. And yes, they are in same playing field.
I so appreciate all the artists you’ve introduced me to here. I love exploring new music and adding to my iPod! Thanks so much, David.
Thanks Sandy Sue, glad you enjoyed it…I appreciate the feedback.
