Bad week for classic Oz rock. I didn't know about Steve. When the war is over is an all time classic. One of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

Very sorry to hear that.
I don't know very much about Oz rockers but I had the very great pleasure of working with Tony Mitchell recently. Fabulous bass player and extremely nice bloke.
He'd played a benefit show in Melbourne (October I think?) where Harvey had played guitar with all the bands despite his condition.
I certainly enjoyed hearing all the Sherbert stories.
Sad day.

I'd just last week been thinking of "When the War is Over" and googled up Farnham live - what a great performance of a great song. Steve had a great feel and if what the press says is right he wrote "Forever Now" as well. A huge influence on our lives.
I didn't really know much about Harvey's work (I arrived from NZ 1979) but he seemed to be the classic Strat player with a lovely range of tones.
Thanks guys RIP.
Cheers, Ross

Hi there,
Harv and I worked together at Brashs in Pitt st in 1986
(We actually did an interview together with Donny Sutherland on his show)
Harv was a great guy and a beautiful player.
Every morning at 11 o clock Harv would be at the Hilton across the road having his first beer and a few cigarettes.
Unfortunately, sometimes, those good times catch up with us.
Cheers
John NYMO Nyman
