PETER POIDEVIN'S ANIMALS OZTRALIA SONGS FOR EVERYBODY

Meet Pete

​

Peter Poidevin has done stacks of things in his life and career. But best of all he likes writing things. Well, stories, books and music actually. 

​

These jobs brought him into contact with a great variety of people, but that’s another story…

​

Through his acquaintance with musicians, he produced a CD  of children’s songs which he had written. This CD, called “Animals OZtralia” has been widely distributed throughout the world and has been very well received.

The songs feature the unique native animals of Australia as well as Australian folklore. Though Peter is not able to write music or play a musical instrument, melodies and words come together in his mind, as he proceeds to write each song. These he then sings to the musician who writes and arranges the music for the song. Luckily he has access to some of the best musicians in Australia.

​

Now retired and happily settled in Tasmania, he continues to write. His writings were brought to my attention with a view to have them illustrated. For me it has been a pleasure to contribute to his most interesting works.
