Greg Ham, Men At Work flute player, 'found dead'

Post by Spitfire »

No real explanations yet as it's only just come up on the BBC.

Imo, Men At Work were/are the best Aussie band ever, great stuff and I still listen to it today.

Although he must have been very gutted by that ruling last year on the 'Down Under' song that virtually said that they had stolen the flute bit in the song which really gave it some Aussie feeling.

Sad news, cool band!

Thats a f ing shame....Land Down Under is one of the songs that no matter how blue you are it just pcks you up....a fave of mine.

See you then mate.....and that ruling was a disgrace

Yes very sad. Men at work were a great band along with Midnight Oil, Crowded House, ...in fact some good bands from OZ.

I think a post of the song would be a good thing....one of their best songs as SM67 mentioned.
