reviews
"Crowded
Scouse adeptly manage to capture the energy, humour and sound of the "real
thing". Close your eyes and be transported to the stalls of the Liverpool
Empire, or even the steps of Sydney Opera House!
As someone who has attended more gigs by the Finn Brothers (in all their various
guises) than I've had hangovers (and that's saying something!) I can thoroughly
recommend them to fans new and old. I'm also sure that Messrs Finn, Hester,
Seymour (etc) would be flattered by this very talented tribute band."

By the Fans For the Fans with the Fans
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.
There have been a few comings and goings in the guitar dept of CS , and when a free CD was offered 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, it’s 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.
