[quote="Mad_Jack_Mcmad"]Good to see the RFL trying to banish a northern stereotype. I suppose we only have to be grateful they didn't arrange a synchronised pigeon flyover or some whippet racing.
Seriously how many people under the age of 50 will want to hear a brass band?[/quote]
Will you get a lump in your throat when abide with me is sung? it will probably be with brass band accompaniment.

playing any brass instrument is a fine art as is playing most musical instruments and singing so i suggest hate it or LOVE it, just endure with respect or enjoy with admiration.

Am off down with squirt on Friday afternoon and don’t think I’ll be drinking. Don’t want alcohol ruining the occasion!
However the rendition I will give of “Abide with me” will reduce you all to tears.
Sing a song of Yorkshire, from the Humber to the Tees Of cricket, rugby, beer, of pudding and of cheese I know no other county where the land is quite so fine England's lovely county. And I'm proud to call it mine
Where shining purple heather stretches far across the moor And the lapwing's cry above me takes the place of traffic roar And peace comes drifting gently, there's no place I'd rather be Than this land of hills and valleys, from the Pennines to the sea
So when I've done my roaming, and when my step grows slow When heart and mind assure me that the time has come to go Then let me rest in Yorkshire, for its there I want to lie 'Neath sun and wind and heather... and a gleaming Yorkshire sky
