Welcome to Episode 1 of Speak About The Spark. Who better to have as our first guest than Eric Bogle? Eric has written some of the most well known songs of the past 40 years including "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" and "No Man's Land ( The Green Fields of France)" but if you delve a little deeper into his catalogue you will find plenty of gems. His new album "Voices" proves that his songwriting is as good, if not better, than ever. There's plenty of clips on YouTube and his music is available to buy from http://www.greentrax.com. There is no official website for Eric and no Social Media links which in this day and age is unheard of but that's just the way he likes it. You can find more info on the various matters that Eric discussed at www.createschool.ie/Spark. You can reach Peter Baxter on www.twitter.com/PeterMBaxter or www.facebook.com/PeterMBaxter. There are more guests recorded and lined up over the coming months and please get in touch if you have any suggestions or comments. Worth noting that while this is our pilot podcast, it is Eric's as well and given that he is notoriously private it may well be his one and only appearance, so we hope you enjoy it.
