I went to a gig by June Tabor a few weeks back - she was in great form with her customary excellent musicians playing tightly - but by half time it was apparent that she was playing a new set, with no reruns of older material. I slpped backstage in the interval (taking advantage of my privileged position in the theatre I founded!) and made a special plea in the name of Zild friends that she sing the spine tingling lament by Eric Bogle And the Band Played Walzing Matilda.

I have her version of this playing now in honour of all the pain and suffering of those times; may we never forget, as you say max, the supranational lessons.
