AUSTRALIA Day just gets better down Freo way with local WA singer Lori Greco now confirmed as part of Fremantle Cracker Night.
Lori Greco will sing four songs, including the national anthem, just before the fireworks get underway. Ms Greco has released her own rendition of the national anthem, along with a self-penned number, simply titled Australia. “It’s a patriotic song, written from an Italian-born but Australian-raised perspective and one I feel all Australians would embrace,” she said.
Ms Greco will perform her song Australia, along with another self-penned composition, Sail Away.
“It’s going to be such a powerful show of West Aussie pride to have thousands hear me sing the national anthem just before the crackers go off, right in the beautiful City of Fremantle,” Ms Greco said. Fremantle Mayor Peter Tagliaferri said Ms Greco’s addition to the line-up and her abundance of enthusiasm was just another example of how many people were ready to embrace this Australia Day event.
“It’s fantastic that we’ll actually have someone singing Advance Australia Fair live on the night, with lots of other greats songs about Australia,” he said.
