Post 619 - Claire Atkin - Australia My Homeland - Country Wind

This single arrived in time to help promote the Channel 10 telethon that helped raise money for the Aussie team. Barry Morrison wrote the very patriotic number with strings by David Atkin who presumably was related to the singer in some way. It was recorded at the Audio Workshop Brisbane in 1983. “Australia My Homeland” b/w “Country Wind’ (SR-001) released on Scorpion Records was produced by Barry Morrison and Engineered by John Rix.

Soon after she was discovered by Vogue for her passionate talent in photography, she returned back to England where she has since specialised in fashion and lifestyle photography.
