Great song Bev....I grew up in Stourbridge and left 2002 for New Zealand. I will be singing this at a folk festival here this weekend and credit you as The writer. I will probably add my own verses to make it relevant to me. If your keen to hear this let me know.

Wonderful. It has brought back many fond memories. Thank you very much from an expat Stourbridge boy.

Thanks, Bev. So happy to hear your music about the communities in which my Mom and Grandfather lived and grew up. Keeps me connected in heart and mind to you, Norah, Ashley, Auntie Min, Uncle Will Rene, Dennis....and my heritage in England. So blessed. And to have photos accompany the music....brings the stories to life, that my Grandfather would tell about Donkey riding at Clent, for example. Am wending my way through the memories of times long ago, brought back to life through your musical and photo journal xxxooo

R I P your dads friend. A loss we will never forget. Suicide awareness needs to improve it is a horrible thought that people would kill themselves due to a mental state that could have been helped by awareness and education. R I P and stay strong Bev.

Great Song Mate :))) Many fond memories of doing art in the old library ( Carnigee ) in the town in 1988. My favourite town in the whole World. Have travelled to Switzerland and lived in the USA for a short while and nothing compares to Stourbridge. I did an art degree in 88 and it was a breath of fresh air from the area of Tipton. The people, shops and atmosphere are second to none. Clent hills in the background adds to icing to the cake. Mate If I could live anywhere it would Stourbridge. Fantastic video and channel :) Glad I found it. Thank yo so much.
