Colin Hay – the frontman of Men At Work for seven hit-filled years, much longer a solo artist with a deep and rich catalogue – was named on Thursday as one of this year’s recipients of the Ted Albert award, recognising his outstanding services to Australian music. He shares the award with the groundbreaking Australian agent and promoter Colleen Ironside, who died in 2022.
