johnadams Byker Hill: background info anyone? (147* d) RE: Byker Hill: background info anyone? 08 Nov 10


Way back when..... (Date: 08 Apr 08 - 11:35 AM )
GUEST,Ro suggested...


As a bit of a darker ending it was once suggested to me that the last chorus should be replaced with:

There's no Byker Hill, no Walker Shore
The Collier lads they are no more
no Byker Hill, no Walker shore
The collier lads they are no more


Pete Coe added the following verse several years ago:

'There's no Byker Hill, no Walker Shore
The Collier lads they are no more
It's been like that since '84
So Farewell Elsie Marley'

We've just recorded it as the opening track on in his new album 'Backbone'.
