Rolf Harris performs his extraordinary poem written a long time ago whilst he was coming back on a plane from Vancouver in 1971.
Rolf Harris speaks:
They showed a news clip on the plane - they said: "At six o'clock tomorrow morning on the ice at the moth of the river in St.Lawrence the baby seal hunt starts..."
And they showed graphic pictures like that, but in full detail and animated... you know, moving pictures. And in sickened me to such an extent; I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. I got a bit of paper and I started writing down my thoughts... and I just kept on thinking, in another two hours it'll start... or in another hour and a quarter it'll... you know, or another fifty minutes.. twenty minutes, you know!?
It was awful, and er... I got to Heathrow and the Seal hunt had already started on the other side of the world. And I had this finished poem.
And I got it published in a couple of conservation magazines, but it didn't light up any interest anywhere. Well, I was recording with my mate, Steve Limar - he's well known for all his remixes and his er... the wonderful things he does with electronic music. He's called "Futuro" on the web - and you know, you can find him and see all his mixes and the wonderful things he does.
And I read him the poem and he said: "We've gotta record it!" So he got all that sound and the baby seal sounds - and everything behind it; the drum beat and keyboards - and a friend of mine Shining Bear played didgeridoo throughout it - that wonderful haunting sound.
So, I've put it on MySpace. And if anybody wants to see it or to listen to it - they can't see any pictures of it - but to listen to it go to Myspace and all the details will be there, as to where you can download it - and all the money raised by this campaign is going to the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
