His creative songwriting projects include three new songs, and they are…
‘Can You Hear The ANZAC Heroes Marching?’ – A new ANZAC song for ANZAC Day. As the author of the original Australian War Heroes Song, recorded in 2001, he created the new ANZAC song so it can be played in both Australia and New Zealand.
‘We Will Never See You Again’ – A new remembrance song that would be an ideal song for Remembrance Day. The song focuses on the families of those who died in war
‘I’m Proud Of My Country Australia’ – A new Australian military song. The new anthemic military song would be would ideal for the Australian military to use, as the words (lyrics) focus on things like ‘And the home I’ll defend’, and… ‘Through many battles and struggles we have united together’, and… ‘Never let us forget the sacrifice that kept Australia free’.
