owney madden history day

Hi, Philip. I'm a professional broadcaster looking into the possibility of making a documentary about Owney for BBC Radio 4. I would like to contact you. I'm not sure how this can be achieved without compromising your privacy or mine. Do you know if there is a way we can communicate using YouToube as an intermediary? This is a genuine inquiry and not a con.

She Met my grandfather Clarence Madden (son of owney) in the cotton club. If anyone has any information on other family it would be greatly appreciated

[hsybcmpny]

Is your family from leeds?

[TheBroadyk]

@hsybcmpny I do not know much of it, possibly I'll find out

[hsybcmpny]

@TheBroadyk Unlucky for you if they are. WE ALL HATE LEEDS WE ALL HATE LEEDS WE ALL HATE LEEDS WE ALL HATE LEEDS LOL

[TheBroadyk]

@hsybcmpny LOL Owney Madden was brilliant apparently he was shot 6 times and survived in an assasination attempt in his club The Cotton Club

@TheBroadyk I cant beleive that a ranking member of the new york underworld actually came from yorkshire. Weve always had crime but never on the scale of american organised crime. Nicked cars, smuggled cigs and booze from germany holland and belgium, smuggled heroin and pills, home grown grass, fraud, and prostituition is all there is and nobody runs it its a complete joke. Its like a market for criminals, people come to yorkshire sell and clear off to leefs, manchester or london.
