James Blundell - "Anzac Cottage" [Official Lyric Video]

ANZAC Cottage was built in one day on February 12, 1916 by the community of Mount Hawthorn as a home for John Porter - a returned wounded soldier - and his family and as a memorial for those who lost their lives in the tragic Gallipoli landing.
The ambitious project was initiated by the Mount Hawthorn Progress Association and supported eagerly and enthusiastically by the community with donations and contributions made to ensure that the cottage that was to be built would be a suitable memorial for the Gallipoli veterans.
One hundred years later, the cottage still stands and commands respect from all who visit it.
I am proud to have been asked by my friends at Anzac Cottage to write this special song to celebrate the centenary of this magnificent building. I hope you enjoy the song.
"Anzac Cottage" is available from iTunes worldwide.

James - the little session with the AAFC cadet Drummers was superb. I am not sure how many knew who you were at first but I guarantee they knew that night.

1 day to build, 10 years to restore. Have had the pleasure of working with one of the Veterans responsible for the restoration and met you as well James on a visit to Wandoo with Peter. Don't forget to visit us when you come through town again.

I love all of your songs James

My grandparents lived in the cottage for many years. It holds many childhood memories for me and I'm thrilled to see it beautifully restored. Congratulations to all involved.

Love your music and love that you have uploaded these videos as well, i was wondering if you would have one for the song "I don't fight anymore" or perhaps even just the lyrics for that song. Love your work.

If only every Australian walked into the aqua Aegean up to their knees at ANZAC cove we'd have generations of politicians that'd give a hoot and tinker.
