Van the Man's Irish Heartbeat especially the Inarticulate Speech version is just perfect.

The lyrics are lovely, and just a fantastic wee song. Probably should try and get to see him someday, but he does sound a bit of a loose cannon.

As a cross-community man myselsf, I absolutely love this song and especially the ending (don't think the Welsh and Anglos will get this on this 'ere forum)

I love it, I love the home land, I love auld Billy, I love England too (you are part of it all), I love these island and our common culture.

God bless us all.

Here's to the 20s.

A master piece of a tune.

''The air smelled like snakes''

Geordie folk legend, Johnny Handle: geologist, multi-instrumentalist, and actually worked down the pit before they all closed. (I knew him growing up in Northumberland through my Dad.)



And yes, Wylam was probably canny at one stage - there's now a co-op.
It has got a wicked model of Stephenson's Rocket, though.

They're lovely lasses, but still not completely sold.

Jocks in fur hats?

Finger picking good.

He didn't look like that in Alien.
