Ringo Starr popped up at the APRA Awards in Sydney tonight to congratulate his friend Colin Hay on receiving the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music.
Colin has been a long time member of Ringo’s All-Starr Band as well as the co-founder of Men At Work. Comedian and actor Kim Gyngell presented Colin his award.
In a pre-recorded video, Ringo Starr said, “What a great pleasure it is for me to let you know that Colin Hay is receiving Australia’s Ted Albert Award for outstanding services to Australian music… and American music and English music. Anyway Colin, you deserve it and I love you are a great member of Ringo and the All-Starr Band and it is always my pleasure being on stage with you and I’m sure the people tonight will enjoy you as much as I do. And I saw Peace and Love, Peace and Love to Australia”.
The Ted Albert award is shared in 2023 with the late promoter Colleen Ironside, who was honoured posthumously by friend, concert promoter Michael Chugg.
