Description
24 'live' songs by the master songwriter, including his favourite songs.
ERIC BOGLE has scored more awards than hot dinners! His âAnd The Band Played Waltzing Matildaâ was in the top dozen songs of the Australasian Performing Right Associationâs 75 year celebrations and to emphasise this point a celebrity Top Fifty Peace Songs Poll held in Scotland placed the same song at No. 1 and âNo Manâs Landâ at No. 5, amongst very stiff competition which included John Lennon, Donovan, Elvis Costello and The Rolling Stones. The Melody Maker said of Eric âMost of the best contemporary songs of the seventies were written by Eric Bogleâ. His songs have been covered by many singers and groups, from Mary Black to Billy Bragg and The Pogues to REM - and even Tony Blair chose an Eric Bogle song (âNo Manâs Landâ) as his personal statement as an anthem for peace in Northern Ireland. This new 2 CD release features Ericâs most popular songs as well as some special rarities, and as always, despite the heavy nature of the subjects, Eric has the uncanny ability to hit you on the head with wit and humour.
