It's strange what different people take away from listening to someone sing.

I knew Gary & Vera reasonably well from the late sixties to the mid eighties. Their whole act was based on the fact they were Lancastrians with broad Lancastrian accents.

A great many of their song were based on the two facts above, From the North, Lanky Spoke 'ere, The Ship Canal song, Auntie Kytell for example and Vera's dancing was almost entirely Lancashire Clog dancing.
