Hi, a question: is this Blog created and/or moderated by a Geordie?
I'm asking if this blog is either BY, or ABOUT Geordie music?

i AM a real Geordie - I've had quick look at your blog and I think it's a great educational resource for all the people unlucky enough not to be a member of that sacred race. Well done, hinny.

thanks alex
it should be a good way to extend my Newcassel Sangbeuk.

I hope also to use it to cover contemporary folk musicians of the region.
