They are. I like Northallerton, but it's so bleeding quiet. It lacks buzz.
I've been enjoying the brass group that have been busking in Newcastle. Good jiggly music.
The guy who, many years back, strummed on his banjo and very quietly sang George Formby songs always amused me. He was often outside M&S, well out of earshot of the bagpiper who terrorised Blackett street - I worked in one of the upstairs shops there long before it was modernised and turned into North Face and we'd groan if he turned up on a Monday and all the steam presses were going full pelt because it meant that we couldn't close the windows!
And no, I'd never wish any harm on the bagpiper, no matter how loud and annoying, but I did silently plot a freak accident involving needle, thread and pinking shears coming into contact with his instrument.
