The sound of the region

Northumbrian smallpipes and Geordie songs such as "The Blaydon Races" are part of the region's heritage, and Tyneside gave the world The Animals, Lindisfarne and Sting. Dave Stewart of Eurythmics was born in Sunderland and Chris Rea in Middlesbrough. UK radio, folk radio and Yorkshire radio go further.
