The strength of this gives me chills

[@eamonstynes440]

Where have I been, love Sting and Jimmy, living in NZ I have missed this great collaboration, an amazing partnership and those of us who come from a working-class background relate to what is happening

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

This whole show is class! A brilliant modern stage musical with great songs as well as a lot of heart. Just watched the original live gig of it on BBC4, still sounds great nearly a decade on.

[@nancystaquetlievin4261]

I love like Jimmy sing this one...

[@dtg5909]

Wonderful. Jimmy is beautiful ❤️

[@matsgranstrom2663]

Wonderful Jimmy Nail and Sting! And if there ever comes a "The Onedin Line" - sequel i've seen the beard that matches the original.

[@jamesstewart3317]

The Clyde and the Tyne,this song fits both..Superb rendition!

[@clareowen2047]

Bloody awesome

[@stephenlivesey4398]

jimmy is I feel a good lad and a down to earth soul , sting I believe is up his own arse though I could be wrong ?

[@michaelvronksy8748]

I met Jimmy Nail once and have to say he was probably the most unpleasant man I have ever come into contact with.

[@michaelvronksy8748]

Ah, karma...

[@JulieWallis1963]

You’re wrong. I’ve met Sting more than once and he is a lovely, down to earth nice guy.

[@njuham]

Oh you go to a pub in Newcastle and say you're a fan of Jimmie and suddenly people become very hostile. Go figure.

[@johnstorey4298]

@@njuham completely wrong

[@joanneembleton5496]

Their voices are so similar

[@dtg5909]

Exactly this.

[@callum9679]

So much better than sting on his own

[@malcolmlilley]

I remember Sting being not much of a Ceordie. Certainly didn`t carry much of the accent with him.

[@dtg5909]

It’s still in there, he had elocution lessons.

[@TheGodParticle]

He went all posh like he did a few terms at Oxford.

[@callum9679]

I somehow think this would be better without Sting

[@JulieWallis1963]

Goochie you do realise Sting wrote this musical, the words and the music? Based on his home town.

[@callum9679]

julie Wallis yeah, his singing style is no good for it though

[@terencebrown1754]

Sh1te. Jimmy nail was better in the king Crabs. Sting has been getting a way with it for a hell of a long time now.

[@birtlee2078]

Decent - but come across as arrogant because there are from Newcastle!!! Now a football club who sold their soul to Saudi murderers! Wonder if Sting brings a song out about that!!!!!
