If you was 'ere you'ld have to understand 'Doin' the Manch' a song by by Keith Marsden about the lad who upon reaching his 18th being taken for a drink in every pub along the Manchester Road leading out of Bradford.There were 28 pubs in all,only 27 mentioned in the song,believing that ,and accordibng to Will Shakespeare, 'A surfeit of the appetit'll sicken and so die'
That's why I never drunk cider again.
Keith die 10 year back but his accapella group that he formed with Val, his wife, are still singing and are claaed 'Cockersdale'
Happy Birthday,tomorrow, Son of Hollowfox
