Who on earth are the two girls standing like they need to pee?

Not only are they ignorant of times gone by, they clearly couldn't be bothered even reading the notes on this one.

[stevevox1]

great manchester song, pitty we dont have more, 5's

[pjvenner]

What a beautiful song, and nostalgic. It was great to see it sung 'raw' - but I did miss the 'ally ally-o" from the schoolkids in the closing chorus. 5 stars nonetheless.

PS: This clip brought another memory flooding back which was chubby brown's parody of this song. If anyone can tell me where to find that, I'll love you forever!

[PadSpin]

Fantastic!!

[macdoug123]

Just heard this song for the first time while looking for a Lowry print. What an amazing tune! Great voices and lyrics! Why are there versions by everyone EXCEPT for Brian and Micheal on itunes?!! Cheers for uploading :)

[seftonwallet]

Yes, it is on iTunes. It's the top one when you search "Matchstalk Men".

[macdoug123]

That's by "The Spinners" though....?

[seftonwallet]

The Spinners are on there as well, but also Brian & Michael, top of the list

I just downloaded the Brian & Michael version on Itunes. Love the song and Im not even a pom.

[natom100]

Very nostalgic, like the overview before the song. The song was just as good as when I heard it as a kid, brilliant. Reminded me of the streets in Pontefract, orrr

[doggiedevotion]

Fantastic I love it. How can people think of a song like that? It is a lovely tribute to Lowry himslef and I'm sure that he will have loved the song. I have just recently been to the Lowry museum in Manchester and looked at some of his artwork.

[codycobourg]

[seftonwallet]

Yes I have been to Canada, although it was almost 30 years ago.

Please have a look at my two video here, when I visited my cousin in Montreal, and we visited New York. The twin towers were standing then.

5 stars! I am one of the people who used your song with Lowry Pictures here. Thank so much Brian and Michael for letting use your song.

Thanks for saying hello. It's great to see the nice comments about our song on your video.

[incredyoolity]

The song is a classic. It was a memorable feature of my youth and I'm delighted to see you guys are still together and performing it.

Coolaboola. It's a great song.

[SwordsPikey]

Why do Manchunians say Solford instead of Salford?

[seftonwallet]

That's how it's pronounced, not Salford as in salad, but Salford as in salt.

[SwordsPikey]

Cool! Channel M = community TV?

[seftonwallet]

Yep, TV for Manchester.
