yes I saw her as well at Keele FF and suppporting the Albion Band one time. In fact a couple of ther times and she always did the song.

she's a good singer - loved her version of while gamekeepers lie sleeping.

but I just think this song is one for a grizzled old aussie bloke. Its a bit like Dame Helen Mirren doing the Kent's speech from Lear from the Dover cliff top. She'd do it well - but it wouldn't be, how it should be.
