Aye!! Aah wad like a copy becoz aah'm aksherlly a Waalsend lad mesel'. Brought up on The Holy Cross estate (soonds more religious than it reaaly wez)

Alex Glasgow wrote some stunning stuff but hed one of the worst Geordie accents when recording - Put on with a trowel! - His real accent was Geordie enough and it was really lovely to listen to him speak 'live' - Really brought 'home' back te this peripatetic geordie.
