"Down Under" by Colin Hay from Men At Work

I had the honor of performing the legendary flute solo on Down Under with the incredible Colin Hay of Men At Work. Not only was Colin incredibly talented, he was also so down to earth and the nicest guy!

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

Colin Hay was born & raised in Scotland until he was 14 when he & his family moved to Australia. He has had a hugely successful life in Australia & is very grateful to Australia & the opportunities it gave him. He still though, retains his Scots accent. 💙 Braw lad!

[@pathirault3100]

Ça ressemble à l'histoire d'A.C.D.C.

[@stevestruthers6180]

To my ears, his accent sounds like a mix of one of the Australian dialects and Lowland Scots. For the longest time, and before I learned he was born in Scotland and emigrated to Australia when he was 14, I always had trouble placing his accent, wondering if it was an Australian dialect I'd never heard before.

In case anyone is interested, this performance occurred on 4th August 2016 at the Microsoft Theatre (according to Getty Images), being part of the last instalment of ABC's Greatest Hits TV broadcasts, namely, the "Greatest Hits Live Finale: 1980-2005" - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_Hits_(TV_series). I'd say the loss of the original flute score, due to copyright issues, was substantially remedied by Gina's presence and excellent playing.
