A few months ago I heard the song "Poster Girl" played on ABC Breakfast Radio here in Perth. I felt a great sense of pride at being an Aussie even though I think we shouldn't be part of the conflict in the middle east.

So impressed with the song, I went to a local music megastore and purchased the album... the singer songwriter was Beccy Cole.

"Poster Girl" was written when Beccy returned from entertaining the troops in the Middle East over the Christmas and New Year period and found a letter from a fan who didn't agree with Australia's participation in the war. Beccy has previously commented . "I have a huge amount of respect for our forces and I'm very proud of the great job they are doing over there. Our job was to provide an entertaining break from their gruelling routine and from all reports, we succeeded. I'm happy to report that morale is high amongst the Aussies and if their hard work and commitment is anything to go by, peace in the Middle East is achievable"

In our first Maverick Spirit YouTube Video experience, you can watch and listen to "Poster Girl."

The "Poster Girl" video clip was filmed at the historic Army Barracks in Paddington and produced by award winning clip maker, Ross Wood.

Beccy has been on the road for the past year working hard performing songs from "Feel This Free" with some additional concerts where she joins forces with Adam Harvey for their rollicking "How Wrong Is It" gigs around the country.

Beccy recently delivered a sizzling performance at this years APRA Awards where she sang the first #1 single from the album, "Rainbows, Dreams and Butterflies", which was nominated in the Final 5 country songs for the year.

She has just spent several weeks locked away writing songs for her new album which is due for release early in the New Year.

Beccy is currently an ambassador for this year's Jamm for Genes, a cause which she is delighted to be promoting. As a parent, multi-Golden Guitar award-winning country artist, Beccy Cole, feels a personal connection with the cause. Last month she attended a Discovery Day at the CMRI at Sydney’s Westmead Hospital, where scientists shared their amazing research innovations with a group of music industry professionals and gave guided tours of the Institute's laboratories and facilities.

"I am blessed with a healthy seven year-old boy and I can only imagine what a parent might go through when faced with a sick child," Beccy says. "Being invited to the Children's Medical Research Institute opened my eyes to the incredible work being done in the treatment and prevention of genetic disease. I met amazing scientists who have dedicated their lives to finding reasons and cures that could ultimately improve and save the lives of children everywhere, and they LOVE their work!

"As musicians, we are often asked to give our time to various charities to raise funds, not always knowing exactly how the money raised might help. I can say now that I've seen genetic research in motion. I'll be singing the praises of Jeans for Genes and I know who deserves the applause."
