As you may already know, two songs by Queensland based award winning singer-songwriter John Harley Weston have been chosen by Channel 7 Television for their Beijing Olympics Playlist. That’s brilliant news for this hard working artist!

One of the songs is the Australian classic ‘Waltzing Matilda’ which is already receiving great reviews and been playlisted by several stations around the world. So we are officially releasing it as a single today 8th August 2008. But this is not just about John Harley Weston........it’s much bigger than that.

John says, ‘Now that my music is on the Olympic podium I’m putting my money where my mouth is. I support the Olympics and Human Rights and believe the spotlight on Beijing can only be positive – the world is watching. All proceeds made from iTunes downloads of my version of Waltzing Matilda during the Olympics will go to Amnesty International. They work tirelessly to protect Human Rights around the world. For fans - this is your chance to make a small donation toward a better world and fire up the music industry at the same time. Why? Because we only need about 5000 downloads (at $1.69 each) through iTunes online Australia Store to get in the top 10 national ARIA Digital Charts’.

To make it happen we need you to email everyone you know.....absolutely everyone....start the wave today!

The direct iTunes link is http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=281408516&id=281408202&s=143460

Or if you are in iTunes just do a search for ‘Welcome Back To Reality’ by John Harley Weston and you’ll find ‘Waltzing Matilda’.

For the chart position to be recognised by Australia's ARIA charts your download must be from iTunes Australian Store and you have to live in Australia to do that. If you live outside Oz don’t worry you can still buy it.......maybe we’ll top the charts in your country too.

If you don’t have Apple iTunes application on your computer download it free here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
