Crowded House is a rock group formed in Melbourne, Australia, and led by New Zealand musician and singer-songwriter Neil Finn. Originally active between 1985 and 1996, their notable hits from this period include "Don't Dream It's Over", "Something So Strong", "Better Be Home Soon", "Fall at Your Feet" and "Weather With You".

Neil Finn is widely recognised as the primary songwriter and creative direction of the band having lead the group through several incarnations, drawing members from New Zealand (Neil Finn, Tim Finn and Eddie Rayner), Australia (Paul Hester, Nick Seymour, Peter Jones and Craig Hooper) and from America (Mark Hart and Matt Sherrod).

Though the band owe their original success to the Australian live music scene, the common references to New Zealand people and places (Auckland, Kare Kare, Te Awamutu) in several songs pay homage to Finn's personal roots. The success of the group's third album Woodface and the general success of Crowded House and Split Enz prompted the Queen of England in June 1993 to bestow the OBE on Tim and Neil for their contribution to the music of New Zealand.

    I kept the house narrow and incorporated as many windows as possible to maximize the light coming into the house. And I planned the windows on the rear wall to overlook the lake. To add an element of surprise, I designed the house so that the rear walls are not parallel with the front wall," says Peterson. He set the white maple floors

    The former England captain was forced to make an uncomfortable speech to the crowd of fans and media in which he said: "For me, the most important thing in my life is my family. The second most important is the football."
