I love this song about English painter LS Lowry , I got to know it in the 90s when my husband worked in England when Dolby Labs were moving from London to Wiltshire. There is also an award winning ballet about LS Lowry called Simple Man with Moira Shearer and Chris Gable

Beautiful - thank you!

CRINGE

Matchstick ... correct title

one of the greatest songs ever

Lovely song and lyrics to bring back memories of the past - When my late brother Norman and me had metal studs nailed into our boots during the 1940's we could send a stream of sparks as we scuffed our boots on the rough road.

There aren't many songs about artists, and even fewer that hit the pop charts. What a great song

They are the best paintings ever !😄

That was a comment that I passed when sharing this with someone who was not familiar with the music or theaartist I love both and the sliideshow is excellent Very nice transition

Willie maley was his name

Via watching this playlist I've met this. I love these paintings. L. S. Lowry. I'd never heard of him before watching this. Forgive my ignorance. Pieter Bruegel, 'Where's Wally?', Mandelbrot, and such like, where every corner of the picture is telling a little story of its own over there. Thank you.

He painted our shiphards as well n we ad nowt x

:(

As I remember, this was released about a month before I returned to Australia. Fond memories of Lancashire and this song reminds me so much of the people I knew.

reminds me of my grandma :-) x

A memorable song that brings back treasurable childhood memories. We were just kids playing in the street without stress or worry.

Only yesterday I was looking at the real Lowry pictures in the Lowry art centre in Salford, such an amazing collection relating a time now gone forever.

Time just flies by!! i remember this on Top Of The Pops and watching with me Mum and Dad!!

Alley alley ohh..

Someone just mentioned Ancoats on FB. Instantly i thought of this song and had to have a listen. I haven't heard it for maybe thirty years.

This was number 1 in the week I was born!

And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay!

People dressed more modestly those days unlike these days where women reveal dress like sluts

Me too, I knew the song from childhood but when Alan put it on, I had to hear the whole thing again. Brilliant.

I remember singing along to the cassette of this in my grandmother's kitchen when I was seven. Unforgettable times.

A true northerner can survive any adversity. We just soldier on head down get the job done. unlike our eastern friends who moan and get angry when they cant get the job done
