dormouse1953Just seen an obituary in The Guardian for Mike Neville:
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/sep/13/mike-neville-obituary
Now there's a name from my childhood. Being a Londoner who was uprooted to the north-east, I was fascinated by the Geordie dialect, even if I could never learn to speak it. In the late sixties, Scott Dobson started producing a series of books, starting with Larn Yorsel' Geordie and the BBC's Look North, fronted by Neville and George House pushed these books and made commercial recordings based on them. I still have the books and the records somewhere.
