KEVIN
WELCH TRIBUTE SONG ON VINNIES CD
CHARRED HILLS OF MARYSVILLE
|
Kevin
Welch has left a rare invaluable gift on his 12th Australian
tour - an evocative song inspired by the blazing tragedy of
the Victorian bushfires.
California born Welch, 53 and father of two, was so moved by
the horrific holocaust he wrote his song Marysville within
days of his arrival.
Kevin and bandmates Kieran Kane and Fats Kaplin rushed into
the Salt Studio in East Brighton and recorded it for St Vincent
de Paul bushfire relief CD After The Fire.
A Vinnies documentary crew filmed Kevin and band recording in
the studio operated by Peter Frawley.
The trio performed the song live in concert and on radio and
volunteered it through Shock Records executive Dave Laing.
|
Vinnies
Victorian strategic marketing and fund raising manager Carol
Taylor phoned long time promoter Rob Hall who helped arrange
the recording in a break between concerts.
Carol also enlisted Killarney singer-songwriter Shane Howard
who wrote his new tune Carry Me for the CD.
Howard and Sara Storer debuted the song at the Churchill fire
benefit on Saturday February 14.
The singer then recorded his song, with a little help from his
friends, at his home studio.
The Welch song was the first single from a CD that also features
Country Paydirt singer Ross Buchanan, who lost a young son and
daughter in the Kinglake fire.
Buchanan fronted a trio with Whittlesea Country Music Festival
organiser Vin Anderson, on harmonica, and recorded his song
Salty Tears at Salt.
Ross won a huge audience when he performed his song on the Today
Show on the Nine Network.
Joe Camilleri, Renee Geyer, Tiddas singer Sally Dastey, Brian
Mannix and other artists are also on After The Fire.
After The Fire is available in JB Hi-Fi and other record
stores and Vinnies shops in Victoria.
You can also listen to the Kevin Welch penned Marysville live
and buy the CD online at

the metropolitan area.
Geelong listeners will also have even greater choice

extremities of Corio Bay - and Geelong Country
