From Newcastle upon Tyne 7: The Singer's Tale
Val Lambert has got the sort of voice that anyone who has ever been in a workingmen's club will instantly recognise. It's a voice that depends for its effect not just on the power of the vocal chords but on the experiences that inform her songs. Val shares with her audiences at Saltwell Social Club a knowledge of Tyneside's good and bad days both in the past and present.
