And howabout 17th October as Teesside day, we are not Geordies and we are not Yorkshiremen, we just love Teesside, 100 years birthday of the Transporter Bridge
That just says everything about Teeside brings back all the great memories of Sunday hikes on the moors.Now how do we start the push for the MBE for services to Folk music.
Followed your link off Vin's website. I'd love to have the Valley of Tee's on CD as I only have the original on vinyl L.P. This was Vin at his best in my opinion. I'm hoping to see him at Lymm Rugby Club in the Summer of 2008. Thanks for posting it, he clearly deserves an MBE for his services to Folk music and I think that all of his fans should push for it.
I have just found your videos what a find. I grow up in Stockton-on-tees and spent alot of time in the Folk clubs, had some good friends in the Fettlers folk group, sadly lost contact with them over the years. Thanks for the memories

Takes me back to when I first met Vin in the late 60s. Brilliant song which will not fade away. I think it should be adopted as the Teesside anthem.

Vin Garbutt is an amazing entertainer; I have the LP The Valley of Tees and quite a few of his CDs. Love the photos in this video.

Still an unmistakeable voice
I remember him sing this just after he wrote it at a local folk club in the North East!
Showing my age - and Vins - but he is unique
Long may you sing!

I remember Vin from the Folk club in Stockton in the 1960s
