Subject: RE: No man's land protest
Some years ago I asked Eric Bogle if he was cheesed off by the Fureys version of No Man's Land .......... he said he was ......... until the Royalties started coming in.

Who can blame him, he has to make a living. He's probably one of very few who has made a decent living out of folk music.

I've listened to Joss Stone's version in my opinion it is unadulterated horse droppings and certainly negates the anti war message of the original which I have always considered to be one of the finest of its kind.
