A trip down memory lane around Manchester....

My Wife and I along with our friend Simon write and record our own songs for pleasure. We wrote this one called 'Red Brick Town' about Manchester. I did some filming on my phone and put together a video for it.
We're all in our 60's so it's just for fun. Let us know what you think please and don't hold back I can take the criticism....honest!

Every photo seemed to be in the back yard of at the front of a house, unless she got the photographers in and it's sat on the couch for the full colour experience ;-)

Jeromes on Market St for SPECIAL photos in your whit clothing that made you look like you lived in a mansion in Hale Barns. I haven't got a colour photo until late 60's.

I very much appreciate that you took the time to watch/listen to it and comment and im glad you enjoyed it. It's incredibly difficult getting anyone to listen to something original and especially when we are all in our 60s and we are not techno savvy. (well im officially still 59 until later in the year).

We have made 4 videos ourselves on our phones/using a friends drone that are on youtube and we have an album on Spotify 'Dakota Three - Reflections'. The album is our earlier stuff but we've learnt a lot since. All 3 of us lost our parents in the process of writing those first dozen songs and so a few of them reflect that and are a little downbeat. Once we finish the current song we are producing we will have another 14 songs recorded so there will be a second album on spotify in a month or so. We think we have improved enormously.

Thanks again!

Great stuff, I will take a look for your stuff on Spotify, it will hopefully stop the song that accompanied the YouTube vid out of my head! Cheers

Again many thanks its very much appreciated you took the time. We took 3 themes we felt were synonymous with Manchester, Indusrtrialism, Politics and Music and built three verses around them. There is a clip of City fans on deansgate at one of the title celebrations, although I can't remember which one lol.

On a seperate issue does anybody have any old photos of Collyhurst Flats. I'll go through my parents old photos and see what old areas of Manchester I can find for this thread as I don't want to hijack it with a music theme haha.
