This was a tough one. Hopefully this qualifies, from what I have read, Mike Skinner was born in Barnet but was raised in West Heath Birmingham.


Brum rating 9/10...he’s got the accent but has something of the southern About him

Christine McVie - Christine Perfect

Back to the Mac already with Birmingham's Christine McVie! Glad I could play this today because while listening to the Mac boxster it was her songs i was really vibing with this time. Her contribution to the band is so understated and it's a shame

Brum rating 10/10..still got the accent
 
Day 7 - Mini-LP

U2 ~ Under a Blood Red Sky. Appropriate given the wildfires here in California. Including a pic taken Saturday from near my house, looking out toward the Valley Fire. Thankfully we aren't in any danger, but it's impacting a lot of people out here.

And a Gav-la to @ByersVinyl for being keen 🏃‍♂️
 
Day 8 - Brummie Beat.

We opened my library to the public today. It was either going to be shit or be easy. If it was a shit day I was going to play Godflesh, but since it was pretty good I went with this instead. @imtheocean beat (no pun intended) to Special Beat Services but that is fine.

The (English) Beat - I Just Can't Stop It

You know? I got pretty much nothing for this one. This is is as close as I think I have as Christine McVie does count, and she is part of Fleetwood Mac, I will break out The Dance - Fleetwood Mac. 1/5 counts...
