A song for Rochdale

Date published: 14 July 2012


XFM Manchester are writing a song for every district in Greater Manchester and the Rochdale song, Guitarthur - Round Our Way (Rochdale), is is now on-line.
 

The song pays humourous tribute to Rochdale and well known Rochdalian's, such as Lisa Stansfield, Andy Kershaw, Anna Friel, Cyril Smith, Gracie Fields, Bill Oddie, and even Gillian Duffy!

The Co-op and the former Nemesis night club get a mention, as does Waterloo Road, though the song writers appear to have overlooked the fact the set moved out of town months ago.
