Keith Potger - 'Secrets of the heart'.

"In August 2003 I booked the recording studio for a few weeks to put down some basic versions of songs I had written during the past decade. I guess there must have been some extra inspiration in that studio because before I knew it the rough tracks had become polished tracks. The original idea of putting down thirteen songs was expanded to nineteen and I felt like I was singing better than ever."

Bruce Woodley's performance of 'I am Australian'
at Bushfire service released as a CD single & download.

From the Sony BMG website:

'I Am Australian' Single Now Available To Purchase To Raise Money For The Salvos Bushfire Appeal

Sony Music has released 'I AM AUSTRALIAN', the live and reworked version as sung by Bruce Woodley, Claire Woodley, Kinglake residents and Australian Country Music singers David and Merelyn Carter on Sunday 22nd February 2009 at the Commemorative Service to mark the National Day Of Mourning for the Bushfire Victims, held at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne.

'I AM AUSTRALIAN' is Australia's unofficial National Anthem. Written by The Seekers' member Bruce Woodley and Dobe Newton from The Bushwackers in 1987 it has since been embraced by Australians as a song of pride and passion that reflects our feelings and attitudes as a nation.

Bruce Woodley said "In the entire 22 year history of this famous song, this was by far its most profound and meaningful moment. I saw a nation truly connected. How we all got through the performance I will never know. It was very sad but enormously uplifting... It was a profoundly moving experience, and an incredible honour to be able to make a contribution like that. My daughter Claire sang a truly wonderful acapella opening chorus and you could have heard a pin drop in the arena. When we sang the last two choruses, the entire audience stood up as a show of solidarity and respect for all those affected by the bushfires. I am told this happened all around Australia wherever people were watching the service on television.
