Went and saw Colin Hay (former lead singer and songwriter for Men At
Work) the other night.
Now, I was never a MAW fan. Didn't hate them, just never really got
into them.
But I heard one of Colin's solo tunes, and really liked it, so I gave
it a shot.
Wow. I was blown away. Amazing songwriter, still has the voice, is
very personable on stage. I instantly became a fan. Picked up the
three cd's he had there that night, including one that had the
acoustic version of "Overkill" that he performed on "Scrubs".
Talked to him afterwards, got his agent's phone number - going to try
booking him solo for our new concert series.
He was joined on stage by his singer/dancer/wife, Cecelia, a stunning
Peruvian woman with substantial, uh....errr.....well.....maracas.
Enjoyed seeing her perform with them on stage...and those little
shaker-things as well.
If you get a chance to see him, either with the band or solo,
definitely do it.
