nor eastern bands

When you consider that Pop was a ROBSON and he was a noreasterner.
Its a short leap to consider that there seems to be few bands in that part of the world.
I can recall the Animals. Lindisfarne. And Dire Straits and no one else.
Add some more if you can.

I was up there a couple of weeks ago, but the only band I saw was elastic. I was impressed with St James' Park. Totally dominates the city centre.

Its because the North East is a bedrock of a self serving, introspective, sub-cultural breed of cretin. Similar to the scots whose greatest cultural offering is Lulu.

Weren't VENOM from Newcastle? And The Tygers Of Pan Tang? North East liked its 70s/ 80s metal.
But who cares?? Most Scottish sounding group ever is probably Big Country. None of them were born in Scotland. Fact.
