Without doubt to my mind the best songs that could be associated with Hull are by Mike. Also outstanding is Keith Marsden's "Hessle Road". I went to school at Villa Place, T B Holmes and would have gone on to Bean Street, if I had not passed the 11+, and Mike and Keith's stuff captures the area as it was in the immediate post war days when "we didn't have much money but by god we enjoyed life". Most of the rest are dross - in my opinion.
