Eric Bogle is probably best known for his now iconic song “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda”, but he is far from being a one-hit wonder. His songs have been recorded by Joan Baez, Mary Black, Donovan, Slim Dusty, John Williamson, Billy Bragg, The Pogues and The Furies, just to name a few.
With 14 albums to his credit, appearances at every major Folk & Country Music Festival in Australia and overseas and a touring schedule that has included eight tours of North America, 10 times round Europe and multiple Australian shows, Eric Bogle has decided that it is time to take it easy. This will be his last extensive tour in Australia.
Country Music Capital News correspondent Jon Wolfe said recently, “I recommend that if you haven’t seen him live, put it on your to-do list and immerse yourself in the majesty of Eric Bogle and his music.”
