THE Friday Boys are a disparate group of men spread across Tyneside who meet once a week - 'always on a Friday' - to talk about the arts, raise a glass to recently departed heroes and villains and, at the evening's end, down a whisky or two. The FBs have only one golden rule - talk of the working week is strictly off-limit.

Da singing 'Papa was a Rolling Stone' at the Cumberland Arms, Byker, last night.
Room with a View... The Tyne as seen from the Free Trade Inn.
It was a poignant night. Just before playing 'Papa..,' Da leant forward and said: "This is a song that defines me. Now let's rock!" The punters went crazy. Even rockin' Ronnie punched the air!

ReplyDeleteDa could be in a painting by Vermeer (but he's always been a work of art to me...)
