Tom doing what he'll always be remembered for: singing a song he knew would get folk singing along. His voice could cut through the racket of a noisy pub. Miss him loads. And so many other faces there also no longer with us. Don't know why this popped up today. But thanks for posting it #Jean Gair.

I was lucky to catch him at The Star Folk Club, in Glasgow, about thirty years ago - best 12 quid I've ever spent, it was a great night, with him and his offsider. 👍👍

One of the best singer songwriters in the last hundred years

🐂💨

Throw back please .Miss you all so much xxx

Loved this band so much!

slay

I preferred their original line up.

Thanks

played in same team as eric at peebles long time ago. was a hard hitting centre

Looks like my grandad

very nicely sung well done!!

it brings back memories

One of Eric's other tribute songs is - Troy's Song written for the late Troy Lovegrove who died of AIDS at the age of 7 three weeks b4 his 8th birthday

sounds like my leaving waverly . mmm!

What dose Tambourine mountain have to do with slim dusty?

I don't see how it's about slim

The CD that Tambourine Mountain is on is called "other people's Children :)

The song is called Tambourine Mountain he has it on his CD "Other People's Children :)

What's the name of this song?

Still sounds great

WOW nicolachildnicole ...... You are so lucky to know him personally :) wish I did :) I've met him twice seen him in concert heaps of times. Leaving nancy is one of my many frav songs that he has written over years.

This song reminds me of my Granny, Nancy Macdonald who bid her beau goodbye in Edinburgh in 1914 when he went off to war with the Royal Scots... Captain Sandy Watson came home in 1918 to marry Nancy...

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!

i first listened to this years ago and havent heard it since! im so glad youtube has amazing powers!

soulful. go guys!

Slam that shit Jimbo

awesome song :)

Another thought - Eric's tribute songs. One of may favourite over the years is Eric's "Safe in the Harbour" written as a tribute to our Stan Rogers who died far too young yet still produced and amazing and profound body of music.

This song caused me to discover Slim Dusty. Thanks Eric (and John)

We picked up the "When the Wind Blows" album on cassette some 20 + years ago. We have never tired of this silly song!

OMG I ca relate to this as I left my mum and dad & inlaws and could barely breathe for the sadness I felt, as I also took their grandaughter with me...................I cried all the way here, and have adopted this country as my own but still regret depriving my daughter of her family....................

That man is a national treasure, for Scotland and Australia both. -jcr

@MultiGeraghty yes, Eric did regular concert tours of England and Scotland up until a year or so back, when he announced that he was getting a bit too old to be travelling all that way. He now only tours within Australia and New Zealand.

Hilarious! I love 'Nobody's moggie now' too!

These guys are the best jammers around man.

Good video. Eric Bogle wrote some of the best lyrics ever in the world of folk music.

@sherp2u1 It IS a romantic love song. He loved his mother so much that he wrote this lovely ballad about leaving home (Scotland) probably never to return! (By the way, Did he ever return?)

beautiful song, I thought it was a romantic love song all these years.

Legend!

I am very pleased to say I know Eric Bogle personally :) He is an amazing guy and I like love him to pieces. He is my dads best friends brother in law and I really do love him to pieces xx Amazing singer too

@taggsybaby Thanks, Yes my brother is also a left handed player & has played in support of Eric Bogle at Marymass Folk Festival-Irvine Scotland.

Good Seed is one of my Fav's! hehe. I missed him in Melbourne a few weeks ago :( :(

Saw Eric and John at Crail but my camera only recorded 40 sec slots! Really enjoyed his second trip to Crail and hope he'll rethink his decision not to tour outside australia!

Loren you the man! Come back to Sydney!
