And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda (Cover) - Pat Kelleher

[@markmaunsell3409]

Old Yank Army guy here. Flew gunships alongside some fine Aussie pilots in Vietnam. Have studied the Battle of Gallipoli and have always been drawn to this beautiful song. Many connections. So well done. (Also play an old Gibson 5 string.)
When will we ever learn?

Thanks for posting. True to say, mankind will never learn ... as I get older, my hope dwindles as history seems to repeat itself regardless of how advanced and modern we think we are. ✌️

Great rendition of the song, bravo sir

[@Mainekt3]

Beautiful, Pat!

[@TammyWhite13421]

💕 I think I like it even better with the banjo accompaniment. It gives a more plaintive air. 😢 Beautiful and heartbreaking.

A beautiful rendition , Eric would love that. Nice sounding long neck banjo.Best Wishes from Adelaide.

[@patkelleheririshfolksinger]

Thank you kindly Derick. He did get to hear this version and complemented the inclusion of the banjo. He reckoned the song is banjo friendly and likes it's inclusion. He did a later version himself with banjo backing. Sláinte from Cork Ireland ☘
