BiographyHistory

The son of journalist Edmund Finn Snr, Pat Finn was educated at Melbourne's Scotch College, and like his elder brother Edmund Jnr, carved out a joint career as a journalist and writer. He collaborated on many theatrical productions - notably pantomimes, musical comedies and variety entertainments, including She (1901), Mrs Goldstein (1902, with J. F. Sheridan), and Happy Holland (1910, for Harry Rickards) - but had his greatest success as a songwriter. Although written mostly about Melbourne life his songs were nevertheless performed around the country by leading artists of the era.
