Megabooks I can‘t help but think of JT‘s Cry Me a River. Who sang this one @squirrelbrain ? 5y

tpixie Have fun! 5y

Cinfhen Ha!! That was my first thought too @Megabooks 😜I was like isn‘t JT from Kentucky?!?!?! 5y

squirrelbrain @Megabooks - it was Joe Cocker, who was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire! 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen Memphis, TN is where he grew up, I think, but he could‘ve been born in KY?? 5y

Megabooks @squirrelbrain I love Joe Cocker! When the Night Comes is one of my favorite classic rock songs. I had no idea he was from Yorkshire. You learn something new every day! 5y

Reviewsbylola Love the graphic! 5y

CrowCAH Woohoo a musical challenge! 5y

TrishB Cool 👍🏻 5y

Tex2Flo Ok, so from a Texan, what does “ay up” mean? 5y

Cinfhen From @squirrelbrain “For those of you wondering, ay up (or hey up if you don‘t drop your aitches like we do here!) is an expression of greeting or an exclamation in Yorkshire-speak!” @Tex2Flo

KarenUK @Tex2Flo Next time I see you, I‘ll say it with the accent for you! 😂💕 5y

squirrelbrain @Tex2Flo 🤣 it‘s a Yorkshire-ism! What about Mardy Bum (day 3) - do you know that one?! 5y

BarbaraBB How fun that @squirrelbrain is joining you! And what a cool playlist! I am looking forward to it, after my trip I will have time again to think about the prompts! 💜 5y

squirrelbrain Yay @BarbaraBB - looking forward to you joining in! 5y

Cinfhen I‘d like to know about Mardy Bum @squirrelbrain !?!?!! 🤣 5y

squirrelbrain Mardy means the same (ish) as moody. Mardy bum is a grouchy person! 😒😠🤪 5y

Cinfhen Super helpful 🙏🏻thanks @squirrelbrain 😘 5y

arlenefinnigan Nice. There needs to be a Lancashire one next month for balance though. 🌹 5y

Cinfhen You‘re all set to cohost in September @arlenefinnigan 😉so get working on that Lancashire playlist 🥳 5y

arlenefinnigan @Cinfhen deal! 5y

Why not join @Cinfhen and me for August‘s music challenge, #ayupaugust?!

I‘m Yorkshire born and bred and these tunes are all by artists born here or the bands were formed here.

For those of you wondering, ay up (or hey up if you don‘t drop your aitches like we do here!) is an expression of greeting or an exclamation in Yorkshire-speak!

Tag us both in your posts and use the hashtag #ayupaugust - we can‘t wait to see what you come up with!

squirrelbrain Now I‘m not saying all these songs are classics, but I‘ll let you decide the good and the bad! 5y

KarenUK Love this! 👍😊💕 5y

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! Super excited!!! 5y

erzascarletbookgasm ay up! 🙌 5y

Moray_Reads As a Yorkshire lass myself I'm going to see if I can get back into the Litsy habit with this one! 5y

squirrelbrain Ay up Jessie! @erzascarletbookgasm 5y

squirrelbrain @Moray_Reads - that would be fab! I hope that you can join in! 5y

andrew61 I'll have a go especially as there is a Kate rusby songon there ☺ 5y

rockpools You‘ve got some classics in here, Helen. And some 🕺🏽🐇! 5y

TrishB Some great ones in there 😁 as an honorary Yorkshire peep (my dad‘s from Yorkshire) I‘m looking forward to this 😘 5y

Lizpixie Part of my family tree are from Yorkshire(the Hutton side)so I‘ll definitely be giving these go! Sounds fun💃🏻 5y

squirrelbrain @andrew61 - look forward to seeing what you come up with! 5y

squirrelbrain @RachelO - you always need a bit of Jive Bunny! That of course is what I meant by a classic! 5y

squirrelbrain @TrishB - looking forward to seeing your choices....😁 5y

squirrelbrain @Lizpixie you‘re a long way from Yorkshire now! Looking forward to seeing your picks! 5y

emilyhaldi How fun!! 5y

arlenefinnigan I had no idea Jive Bunny were from Yorkshire 😂 5y

squirrelbrain @arlenefinnigan - so are Black Lace but I resisted with that one! 🤣 Besides, there‘s only Agadoo and who could think of a book for that! 5y

arlenefinnigan @squirrelbrain you could have gone with the song they did for Rita Sue And Bob Too 😉 5y

squirrelbrain I forgot about that one @arlenefinnigan 😳! 5y

EadieB I‘m checking out my post for Cry Me a River and I have found several artists so do you have a list of artists you are referring to for your songs as I don‘t want to post the wrong one? 5y

squirrelbrain Hi @EadieB I love your informative posts so I was hoping you‘d join in with my challenge! The artists are on the Spotify playlist linked above but if you can‘t access that then send me an email to helenharrogate@gmail.com and I‘ll get something sent back to you (this one is Joe Cocker by the way) 😁 5y

EadieB @squirrelbrain I found the August Spotify list. It‘s on Cindy‘s post but not on yours. (edited) 5y

squirrelbrain It‘s on the very first comment - I ran out of space on my post! 😁 Just one other hint.... when you get to day 10 (Spice Girls) it‘s Mel B, Scary Spice that‘s from Yorkshire! @EadieB (edited) 5y

emilyrose_x Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how does this work? I have never done one of the music challenges before and I am keen to take part! 5y

squirrelbrain @emilyrose_x it‘d be great to have you join in! Each day you post a picture of a book that you think fits the prompt - it can be as obvious or as tenuous as you like. For today, some people will post books with river or cry in the title, or a book set by a river, or even a book that made you cry. Click here on last month‘s prompt #lilithjuly to get an idea of how people‘s minds work! 🤣 looking forward to seeing your ideas! 5y

emilyrose_x @squirrelbrain Thank you! Looking forward to taking part! 😁 5y

Thanks Helen! Probably going up in the next couple of weeks - but it‘s a family mission this time as a few people haven‘t been yet - so bookshops and catching up probably won‘t be on the agenda 😔 he‘s there til September so I‘m hoping to get a couple more visits in! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

York is full of history but this is probably the most known landmark - the York Minster ❤️#landmarksofmycity

LeahBergen I loved York when I visited. ❤️ 6y

JazzFeathers 😍 6y

Itchyfeetreader Love York Minster - a weekend in York is a pretty early memory that has stuck for me. I was still of the age when the smells in the Jorvik centre were really funny 😂 (edited) 6y

JennyM Ah, the beauty of it x 6y

youneverarrived @JennyM I went in for the first time properly the other day and it‘s just stunning x 6y
