My great grandad was born in Salford and I was born in Warrington. I live in Canada now but this song always brings me home.

[@astront917]

Beautiful song , I associate this song with being little with my mum and dad Both have passed away in the last five years or so and this song makes me cry like a little boy, Rest in peace my fantastic mum and dad.

[@spinout3]

not only is this an incredibly catchy song but the lyrics are so amazing. still gives me goosebumps. deserves all the awards it received.

[@owenwells4518]

love hearing this song - lucky enough to hear them live in Salford when they sang live before a choir of the year event. Great to hear them talking about the song before singing it again.

[@johnny6166]

This song led me to Lowry. These lads will always be a part of Lowry's history.

[@germainefisher1632]

[@pauljohnson4871]

Hearing this again 30 odd years after it was originally released really was brilliant and brings back so many memories

[@Xdreaper6958]

I'm from Ordsall in Salford, near the docks. I also lived in Swinton... Living in rural Ireland now.. What a great song👍🏼

[@kevinfenton7043]

A great song about a brilliant artist who painted the life around him. Salford city, my home and very very proud of it

[@johnclark9250]

[@bestrickie2]

BRILLIANT STORY AND BRILLIANT SONG. I often sing this and play it on my keyboard. I even do the B Side The Old Rocking Chair which to is awesome.

Love this song

[@peterjackson2625]

A great song and melody. Everyone remembers it from all those years ago.

[@saadia4009]

the song reduces me to tears all these years later too, I became an artist late in life and kept hearing I am not very good so this song is even more poignant to me now

[@carolebonsall1335]

[@arthurgray388]

This is a brilliant song. Although l am from London. The song brings back some lovely stuff from my childhood days of working in factories. 10/10

[@seftonwallet]

+Arthur Gray Many thanks for your kind comments.

[@celiaansell4860]

Bloody brilliant

[@louiec08]

That’s my uncle mick

[@nikkiisrael2708]

It was so lovely to hear this song live, so many years on, and reminds me of my childhood in Manchester, and my dad who has probably met Lowry in heaven by now. Kevin, you sound just like my dad. 😢 I mean, you really do sound like my dad! Uncannily so.I was quite okay until I heard you talking and then the floodgates opened LOLOMG! Must get the tissues ha ha But love this song and hope I will be able to sing it one day in public, but don’t tell anyone because I’m very shy about the whole thing at the moment. 🥲 But the other thing that is really strange is that I keep hearing Mancunian voices on the phone when I ring the bank, or various other places, and it has happened a lot this week. I’m in the south of England now, in Dover, but feel just a little homesick after listening to you to talking and singing. God bless

[@357HFC]

Love the Lancashire accents!

[@Klurpaderp]

Nice to hear that people like our silly accent haha

[@BestUserNameUK]

Manchester!

[@beccamay9291]

Lovely!

[@carollindley2058]

Kevin lived in the same town as myself when he was a child and was just like one of us. He is also a Facebook friend. A star or what?

[@secrow]

Gorgeous human song 🥰

[@jameswbell7084]

It was bizzarely enough the 10th anniversary of Status Quo's Pictures of Matchstick Men when they released it.

[@thesavedone1]

5:10 minutes in and they finally start fucking singing. Just stick with the singing lads
