I remember I first heard Eric sing "No Man's Land", also "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" and I think "Now I'm Easy" at Cecil Sharp House somewhere around 1977. Most of the other songs he did weren't at all like those three, in fact one was EXTREMELY rude.

Eric happily acknowledged in his intros that the first two songs had effectively become June Tabor's. I remember June doing TBPWM at the Enterprise with tears running down her face, also John Peel playing it on his programme and receiving piles of mail asking where the song came from.
