Voices of the environment and community filled The Loft in Warrnambool at the special Earth Songs concert on Sunday afternoon. Organiser and local musician Bruce Campbell said he wanted to focus on the positive and successful stories around the environment at the event. "The event is to highlight the good things in Warrnamnbool and around the world being done to improve our community and the environment," Campbell said. "There is a lot of doom and gloom in the world, and we might touch on some of this during the afternoon, but we want to focus on the positives." Seven local acts took to the stage to perform, including Lee Morgan and Sweet Charity, Bruce Campbell & The Plover Lovers, Russ Goodear and The Good Ideas Band, Stony Rises, Bronson and Tina Go Cleaner and Greener, Topaz and the Red Tent Singers. Woodford musician Fiona Kershaw, who performed with her son Shakyra Kershaw and Port Fairy's Fleur Wiber, wrote a song specially for the show. "It's called 'The River Run Dry'," Kershaw said. "It's a bit of a folky original, "It's about a lot of rivers in Australia that are getting depleted. I had the Darling River in mind when I was writing the song."
