One of my favourite songwriters
is the Scottish-Australian folk singer Eric Bogle. I especially like the
interpretation of his work by the British singer June Tabor. The three songs here are particularly poignant
at this time because they are about the First World War. I have provided a link
to each song performed by both June and Eric.
I don’t believe that any other
medium has described the futility of war in a way that hits home like these
songs do.

By the way, a 'cocky' is Australian slang for a farmer
(originally a cockatoo farmer).
