Eric Burdon - Rock n Roll Animal
Discussion
Recent prog on BBC4
From his early teen days to his current (well 2019) days. Covers a lot of the stuff I know anyway but great to see him still going strong, even if his voice has started to fail a little. Coming from the same locality as myself, if a little earlier, I enjoyed the hour.

Aye, too far from London and the southerners couldn't get the accent. (Although they managed the Liverpool one).From his early teen days to his current (well 2019) days.

Never got to see the Animals live but did see Hylton Valentine play countless times as HV's Animals.
North East did produce some good bands, from Geordie and Brian Johnson of course to Dire Straits, Sting from Last Exit, I've a few CDs of local bands, mostly from the 70's, some of which continued on to other things, others such as the Juncos were still going in the 21st Century...
Anyone remember Goldie, (claim to fame - went to school with Dave Black). i don't live in the NE anymore, do The Caffreys still play?
East Side Topedoes/88s. Top band, never quite made it, Neil Hunter, Brendan Healey, Lindolf D'Olivera, Nigel Stanger leading a superb brass section. Neil still singing with the Spitfires I think, Brendan and Nigel no longer with us.
Happy Happy Days....
Edit: And Lindisfarne of course..
