SMEYLEN (OOTSEYDE'V THE FOODBANKS) As soonds reet te the lugs uv Jamie Brown of Gateshead, 2019. There's not been much to unite the country over the past few years, but I think the subject of this song was about as close as we've got. The sheer disregard of the public mood and the level of contempt was... astonishing. Anyway, it's a nice happy one - it's called Smiling...Ootseyde'v The Foodbanks.
