When my late mother, Veronica, answered an Amber Films advert in the 1980s, she never imagined how much those North Shields singalongs would change her life.

Featuring connections to Amber’s iconic dramas like Shields Stories and In Fading Light, and even a German film crew’s visit, the tapes reveal both laughter and poignancy. As I press play nearly forty years later, voices rise again — reminding us of a time when everyday folk filled local pubs with music, humour, and camaraderie.

Their distinctive blend of angular guitar, jazz-infused drums, and captivating vocals has carved out a loyal following, proving that in a world saturated with digital music, there's still a strong appetite for authentic, engaging live performances and tangible releases.
