I was born in Wiltshire, moved at three weeks to Yorkshire - where all my mother's family were. Then moved back to Wiltshire at the age of four. Singing 'Three Score and Ten' means a lot to me as an uncle was skipper of the Scarborough lifeboat. I also enjoy singing other songs of that area But I tend to WRITE songs about my local Wiltshire area and customs. I think that, for me, it is far more important to have a feeling for the content of the song, and maybe be able to 'own' and communicate the feeling that the song tries to engender as opposed to trying to emulate the orignal accent that the song might have been sung in.
