This awesome song "No Fracking Way" was written, arranged, produced and performed by Leo Sayer (published by Silverbird Songs Ltd)
Leo Sayer and a cast of pure gold music legends have lined up to help us fight the fracc industry here in Australia.
Leo Sayer had a hit with I feel Like Dancing in the early 1980's, and the Gatton Star paper reported:
COAL seam gas drilling obviously doesn't make English-born pop star Leo Sayer feel like dancing.There are so many people in this video that I recognize both from protecting and my many nights in front of the stage at bands over the years.
More info
The song is about getting people interested and involved in the fight against the coal seam gas industry. Lots got a guernsey in the video with The Knitting Nannas Against Gas, The Girls Against Gas, well known Nimbin-based protester Benny Zable and Jarmbi and Drew Hutton from LTG, all of these featured on the footage of this song. There are scenes from protests in the northern Rivers and Tara and other actions against Coal Seam Gas Mining.
The song "No Fracking Way", was recorded by Leo at Silverbird Studios. John Hudson mixed the track, and Paul Berton played Guitar.
Aussies against Fracking are a group of anti - Csg musicians who support Lock the Gate and their ideals and this song is a gift to the movement. These days Leo Sayer is an Aussie boy, doin it the Straya way now. Massive thanks to him and all who contributed in any way either great or small, this was perfect timing in my opinion.
The line up for the video is also a who's who of classic Australian Rock. The likes of Doc Neeson from the Angels, Deni Hines, Kevin Borich, Casey Burgess, Mitch Anderson, Mark Gable, Jeff Duff, Steve Balbi from Noisworks and Mi Sex, Jade Hurley, Connor Cleary, Alex Gibson, Graham Wilson and Jarmb-Ji Githabul.
The featured singers, musicians and choir were filmed and recorded at Pow Wow Studios, Sydney.
The Sound recording was done by Des O'Neill, and special thanks to Chris Fitz-Gibbon. The Production was handled by Annie Wright for Aussies Against Fracking. With special thanks to Nick Hanlon.
