The Pogues do a good version as well.
No Man’s Land is on the same theme. He has a few others about WW1 as well, like Jingle Jangle. Check out his Greatest Hits album.
I met him at the Nannup music festival last year. He did a song writing workshop as well as perform over the weekend. Not a pretentious bone in his body but his mind was sharp as a tack.
I have always preferred The Pogues version
Probably because it was the one I heard first.
I think the banjo may be what makes it for me.
Been years since I’ve heard this - thanks for sharing, such a sombre ballad.
We learned this one at school for ANZAC day.
Bogle is one of our great Scottish imports, along with Colin Hay, Bon Scott and the Young brothers.
You can travel to most rural towns in Australia and see a list in if their names. A great loss for a young country.
His accent is so strong, then he sings like that. Awesome song.
Did Eric ever play with Colcannon?
