One of my main motivations for working with the music of Newcastle- the Geordie/Northumberland tradition is to promote it in venues where Newcastle Brown Ale the Broon is sold.

Nothing wors that coming into a bar and finding it on tap but the music is Irish, or rock or whatever.

Do you play this music on a regular basis? I dont meen just one tune but an entire set or several....a main emphasis?

If you do I would like to promote you on my Newcastle Sangbook pages. I need to have the following-

1. request to be listed 2. Name,address,e.mail,telephone if you want. 3. What sort of music you play and geograpic limits.

I encourage one and all to take up this wonderful tradition of the music. Take a look at the pages. The Songs are there as well as the notation.

Join in! http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~dc920/HomePage.priests.html Eventually we will have a section of recipes so you can eat as well as listen properly! Conrad

'Bout the only one I sing now and then is 'Waters of Tyne'
I'd like to do 'Lambton Worm' as well but I'm no good at accents and my 'Cockney' just doesn't sound right.

I play the Keel Row on my guitar and The Blaydon Races on the tin whistle.

I have heard Waters of Tyne done with different words by the Ian Campbell Folk Band.

I have seen The Boat Comes In done with very different words in an old music book I found in the central library in Newcastle. Each verse mentioned a different type of fish. I would say I preferred it to the version you have on your site.

I have been to one folk festival (Fish Festival ?) in Newcastle and one not far away from there to the northwest in a small town called Rothbury. I have been in a few pubs where there were large sessions of musicians playing Northumbrian folk (one of them was in Walker I think but it was knocked down for a new road a few years ago).

Wye aye man - I'm not even a Geordie.

I would have liked to see some guitar chords for the songs - like y' knaa.

I don't play in any pubs (Cardiff beware - my day will come) so there's no point in listing me !
