Northeast England, where I now live, has an angel weighing 100 tons, made of weathering steel. Manchester, where I went to school, used to have two angels-one the pub, and the other the bonny chambermaid the soldier seduced all those years ago. Sometimes it's hard to choose between angels!

Tom McConville plays on two tracks- fiddle accompaniment at its very best. So buy even if you can't stand my singing!
