bobby's girl Byker Hill: background info anyone? (147* d) RE: Byker Hill: background info anyone? 01 Jul 01


The best version I ever heard of Byker Hill was performed by Seven Champions Molly Dancers. their music was provided by a single girl singer with a beautiful voice singing the song unaccompanied while they danced their brilliant steps to it. For those who have never seen Molly dancing and Champs in particular, the dances all have a very regular single step style, danced in hobnail boots, which picked up the rhythm of the tune perfectly. Champs are (or were, as I haven't seen them for several years)the best exponents of the Molly style, and the song fitted their style perfectly
