Absolutely fantastic 👍👍👍

[@michaelhelme6313]

Good to see Chonkinfeckle's work on show at Wigan museum's music exhibition. The original draft of " I'm From Wigan Me". Such a funny song!!

[@rivingtonbike]

Great song! Sweet as the blast of air from the Mintball factory vent ! 🙂

[@TheLeo22701]

I'm from Wigan but started university in North Whales this year. Whenever I miss home I just sit and watch this, always makes the day better.

[@Properbellend]

Where is Whales?

[@jonbrindley]

Well, that's cheered me up - and I wasn't even unhappy in the first place

[@geoffwalsh170]

Now a 34 year absence, family still there in Orrell and Standish, at 57 years old I remain proud of my birthplace. My 23 year old son, born in Henley On Thames (Oxford John Radcliffe Hospital) is a massive and unswerving Latics fan

[@stephenhwrthify]

I didn't know there was talent like this in Wigan, since I've been working away a few years. Real Wigan humour in your songs, and backed by genuine musical talent. I'm blown away. Thanks for the videos. I've been browsing your website and facebook page and I will be buying some stuff and passing the word on. Great bunch of lads you seem as well. Proud of what you are doing. Keep on keeping on...your latest fan :)

[@Liam.Fairhurst]

Cracking music this fellas! Keep it up. Nice to see talent in Wigan.

[@ovalfrankie6199]

10 years later, still an amazing song.

[@Chonkinfeckle]

Many thanks OvalFrankie I still need to get round to making the 10 year anniversary karaoke version!

[@thescreamsmusic]

CONGRATULATIONS WIGAN !! TOTAL Guts and commitment are worth something !

I'm from the States, not Wigan. But this song almost makes me want to move. Good song, mate!

[@martyfan11agnosticalienfan]

Love this song. Being a muso myself, I am always on the lookout for new material to learn, so I might learn this (even though I'm not from Wigan), and I might try it on the 5-string.

Makes you proud to be a Wiganer does that song and no two ways. l was born in a two up and two down in Frog lane. Dad worked at the old Pagefield wagon works and mum made mint balls for Joe Santus just up the road. So,would l move out of Wigan? Eventually,yes. But lnce cemetery is still in the boundary l believe!

"Well I got booked by a Bobby once ... ... for pinchin' eggs from a bird's nest" Tha wor? Dunta mean "fer pinchin' eggs frum a brid's neest? (Talk like thine would a sin thi barred frum Gorner's Cafe) - LOL. Who ever wrote these lyrics is obviously a "foreigner" (more LOL's). Seriously, a truly great song ... accompanied as it is by a great video. I am a Wiganer ex-pat living 6,000 miles away - in Pattaya, Thailand. Actually born across from Our Lady's church - Haigh Road - Haigh.
