Best Essex tune.

[Rusty Shackleford]

How did an entertaining thread about music become bogged down in the minutiae of county borders? You crazy guys!

Well I am trying to push forward my new song to TBV, There is only 1 team in Southend, and that our true derby would be against the scum that is Manor.

Just watched this video...Great song, great artist and many views of Southend. A clip at the Back of The Royals by the Royal Hotel, a clip down the other end at Vic Circus, Golden Disc to start...

Brilliant!!

Surely has to be Billy Bragg - A13 (trunk road to the sea)

A13 TRUNK ROAD TO THE SEA

If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the OK road that's the best
Go motorin' on the A13


If you're looking for a thrill that's new
Take in Fords, Dartford Tunnel and the river too
Go motorin' on the A13


It starts down in Wapping
There ain't no stopping
By-pass Barking and straight through Dagenham
Down to Grays Thurrock
And rather near Basildon
Pitsea, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Leigh-On-Sea,
Chalkwell, Prittlewell
Southend's the end


If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the OK road that's the best
Go motorin' on the A13

Beat ya to it!! :p

I saw him play it at the Cliffs about 20 years ago, with Phil Jupitus as Porky The Poet. Superb night & a quality song writer!
