    ..... are a wonderful product of the North East.

    We've been to see them in Dublin, Nottingham, London etc and was at York Minster when we popped in to see V-Joe.

    We will be there in the forthcoming tour.

    If you're near them, and have the chance, go to see them ........ I'll refund your money if you don't enjoy it.

    Not my thing at all, but a sound that's very current and aimed at an age bracket that still be records. I am sure they will do very very well.

    It's all NE based music that tells a local story ......... they're lovely lasses anarl and their dad George is a cracker.

    This is a Sunderland sailor's song ......

    It's wonderful to hear people singing in their usual NE voices about NE subjects.

    We went to see them in a horrible dockside pub in Dublin and they reduced the audience to tears.

    That's the power of music which, no doubt, you'd understand.
