Ian Brown.


Now there's a vocalist who can't hold an in-tune note to save his pretty face, especially in a live performance. (And yes, I saw him everywhere from t'north of England to down in Barcelona with the Roses in the 90s, and last time a year or two back at the Brixton Academy).


BUT, what magic James Lavelle weaves with an Ian Brown vocal. Magic. If it were not for Ian's flat northern vowels, it would not be the same.


(PS I was born in a northern town. Does that count as being a northerner?)


(PPS North is anywhere north of Elephant. But especially north of Leeds or so.)

The rest of the time it's pure "telephone" South of England "posh"

North was considered a line struck between Oxford and Cambridge and north of that line was forever up North.


Below that line was always dahn saaf and sometimes down south.


....northerners are far more straight forward to deal with and to talk to,


as they always call a spade a jockin' shovel!

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
