@DJDarren A couple of #ThePlaylistSuggestion accent ideas. Some of these might fall into the category of novelty record. You can be the judge.
Gertcha by those lovable cockney chappies Mr Chas and Mr Dave
I Am A Cider Drinker by those lovable Somerset chappies The Wurzels
Ain't Going To Goa by those lovable southern good ol' boys (southern England, I believe, despite the accent), Alabama 3
Road Rage by Catatonia, because something about Cerys' voice on that song does funny wibbly things to my insides
Feel free to play some, all, or none. Half the fun of #ThePlaylist is choosing as much as listening!
Okay, so I just really like Hamish Hawk’s beautiful voice singing in his own accent, and I’ve had this as an earworm for a few days, and you’ve not played this song yet according to the database, which is practically a crime against internet radio:
Hamish Hawk - The Mauritian Badminton Doubles Champion 1973

@DJDarren one that immediately leaps to mind:
American English - Wax

I was hunting down folk who sing with a Northern Irish accent for #ThePlaylist and was disappointed to find a lot of singers from here seem to suppress or downplay their accent. So, for St Patrick’s Day, here’s Foy Vance in the Bushmills Distillery with some very County Down vowels.

@TheBreadmonkey Just looked at the recently played tracks on the site, and yep, that was the original.
I played it on this very episode of #ThePlaylist, way back in September 24. 😉

@DJDarren Can’t not suggest a Newfoundland track.
There are a bunch of recordings of this folk song, but #ThePlaylist listeners would recognize Great Big Sea from shows 55 and 61.
Great Big Sea - I’se the B’y

If you normally try to listen to the show via Spotify, then I'm afraid that's no longer an option.
Every week they delete the show almost immediately, because it doesn't class as a podcast to them, which is fair enough I suppose. So I've removed the feed from my settings.
The RSS is still there, and waiting for you to love it - https://djdarren.site/archive/feed/podcast/theplaylist
NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist the theme will be:
Accents
This one has been bubbling about in my branes for a few months, so I'm interested to see if people come at it from the same direction as me.
Fling your suggestions this way with #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and together we'll be build a radio show the direction of which I have no way of predicting.
