Anyone mentioned Ian McCallum, Stiff Little Fingers? 

Character and Gosforth lad. Used to knock about with a mutual quaffing in the (old) Bacchus

 

 

 

Can we count Jake Burns ? Toon fan and lived in Jesmond for a long while.

Me and a mate were his backing singers doing the horn and the bell to the Double Deckers theme in a pub in Peterborough.

You're right it's all in the ear of the listener, as I would describe every one of those artists as mediocre at best, but I was genuinely hoping that I'd forgotten someone good.

To be honest this is something I've banged on about for years - the North East as a whole has produced virtually nobody that I would regard as ground-breaking musically. 

Sam Fender sits nicely with the likes of Sting and Mark Knopfler - decent enough, but not dining at the top table; just in my opinion if course.

 

Knopfler doesn’t dine at the top table?

I see they're having another faux outrage meltdown about the new sleeve sponsor :lol:

I'm not surprised, a patch on our new shirt is worth the same as their club, that's got to sting.
