Thread Name: CD to Preserve Essex Dialect
Subject: RE: CD to Preserve Essex Dialect
I lived on the cusp of London overflow/Essex countryside in my formative years and heard both accents every day. My uncle who is in his 80s lived most of his life as a tree feller in and around the rural villages near Brentwood and has a most pronounced 'real' Essex accent.
Any notable folk musicians from these parts? (Not Billy Bragg, before anyone suggests him!)
