GEELONG EXPORTS HEADLINE NU COUNTRY TV
 |
Award
winning Geelong exports Adam Harvey and Donna Fisk headline this week's
hot episode of Nu Country TV. Harvey reveals all about his songwriting in an interview and performs new single 'Call It Love' from his fifth album 'Cowboy Dreams.' It's not clear if it will have the same aftermath as his recent confession on the front page of Geelong Advertiser Big Weekend magazine about the source of his song 'She Don't Know It Yet.' Harvey, 28, confessed in a revealing interview that he wrote the song about a barmaid he admired from afar at the Dinosaur Hotel when he was just 18. The revelation prompted an avalanche of phone calls from his mother-in-law in Geelong to his wife Kathy in Terrigal on the Central Coast. |
Harvey performed
to full houses in Geelong and Warrnambool after a concert at Langi Kal
Kal prison.
We interviewed him in fellow award winner Felicity's boudoir at the Hallam
Hotel.
