DNB & New Grove mean nothing to me??- is the latter a replacement for the old Grove, that wonderful music pub in central Leeds? I hope not! Of course I can't do Buddy Holly as well as Buddy Holly- he was the product of his own tradition- I do it my way, as it should be by someone from South Shields & make no apology for my Geordie accent. I used to find my accent enabled me to get away with singing Irish songs in Ireland. One fella in another wonderful old pub, Arundels of Schull, said he liked my version of Boolavogue & asked which county I was from- he was a bit puzzled when I said County Durham- he thought a bit & got the joke...
