Fun with Down Under by Men At Work

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello Hivers!
Anna-NewKey here.

Our friend Mark aka Marcus runs a couple of open mics in the area, one at the Coopers Arms in Hitchin, the other one at the Plume of Feathers in Little Wymondley.
At each one he has a "Featured Artist" that gets to play longer than the usual four or five songs. It is usually between thirty and fourty-five minutes.

We had that spot before some time last year at the Coopers, but I was very happy when Marcus asked us again to play a longer set, this time at the Plume. He is very fond of the stuff we do and we're getting tighter all the time. We have new songs in the pipeline too.

This song from 1981 by the Australian band "Men At Work" has been in Steve's repertoire for a long time, but has always been lacking the flute bit. I have a selection of tin whistles that I have played on Irish tunes in the past, so it was an obvious thing to pick one up and join him.

The fact that we mix up things with different instruments always gets an amazing reaction from people, something I hadn't really expected, but I think we have something special going with us singing and playing together that goes down very well indeed.

Anyway, hope, you like this one, it's a lot of fun!



Thanks for looking!

I think the band got sued over that flute part as it was from another song. I should think you are safe from that though. I like that you are mixing up the instruments.
