HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2008

OLYMPIC LEAP FOR SINGER-SONGWRITER JOHN HARLEY WESTON
Channel 7 Television Network chose two John Harley Weston songs (‘Believe In Yourself’ and ‘Waltzing Matilda’) to add to their 2008 Beijing Olympics playlist. Statistics say 5 million Australians will watch the official broadcast. The games will also stream online at Yahoo7 and on mobile phones via Telstra BigPond. Both songs are on John’s new album ‘Welcome Back To Reality’. Find out why this major television network are taking John Harley Weston to Olympic heights. Click here to listen or buy.

NEW ALBUM 'WELCOME BACK TO REALITY'
John Harley Weston releases 2nd independent album 'Welcome Back To Reality' June 2008. Weston writes, performs, engineers and produces 95% of the album himself. And funds 100% of it. Now that's an independnent artist. And if a network television station is happy to air songs from the album to millions of viewers it must be pretty good. Album was launched at Cancer Council Queensland's 'Relay For Life' at Carrara Stadium on 31st May 2008. Rather than releasing another album in a dark pub in the valley John wanted to do something different with this launch. When Cancer Council approached him because the lyrical theme suited he said 'great idea!' John performed free and 20% sales on the night went to the chartity too.
