The album entiitled 'The Music of Peter Brodie', consists of ballads, some love songs, others about getting away from it all in - by road, on a freight train, to the beach, or in the case of 'Summer Breeze', on a boat. It is this track which drew the praise of IFDS. A spokesperson said: "Peter Brodie's performance on 'Summer Breeze' epitomises the spirit and triumph of sailing. It seems to speak to sailors of all nationalities and abilities. Sailors from around the world should enjoy his compositions, both on the water and off. IFDS would like to thank Mr. Brodie for his contribution to the sport of sailing through his musical talents."
Brodie said: 'I am delighted that my music is able to help such a worthwhile cause, and I would be thrilled if 'Summer Breeze' were to become a favourite song with sailing enthusiasts around the world, both disabled and able-bodied." The song can be heard at www.peterbrodie.com.
