JOHN DONOGHUE. SPIRIT OF PELORUS JACK

Spirit of Pelorus Jack was a song from sometime Human Instinct band member John Donoghue (aka Timberjack Donoghue). With its strong ecology theme it was representative of its era and was included on a compilation of New Zealand songs to commemorate the Commonwealth Games of that year.
