Mark seymour westgate
Westgate is the fifth solo album by Mark Seymour, released in 2007. The album was described as centred on "everyday heroes", with the title track recounting the tale of a real-life worker who was on duty when Melbourne's West Gate Bridge collapsed on October 15, 1970, killing 35 construction workers. Year of the Dog, initially written as a football song for the Western Bulldogs football team, became the saga of a friend with a drink problem. The album was named as one of the top 10 albums of the year by the Sunday Herald Sun.
