Elsie Marley
Frankie Archer
Elsie Marley is a North East icon. She was a well loved landlady who had all the gossip, all the booze and knew how to have a good time. She’s someone I look up to because she knows her worth and isn’t gonna fall into that neverending grind of work: ‘Elsie Marley’s grown so fine / she won’t get up to feed the swine / lies in bed til 8 or 9’.

Barbara Allen
Frankie Archer
Barbara Allen is one of the most re-told songs in the English language, and it’s about a mean, cruel-hearted woman (irony there). It’s 350+ years old but is dripping with the same expectation that’s laid onto women today.

Lovely Joan
Frankie Archer
When I sing “Lovely Joan” I think about all the women and girls today that have been in a situation where they feel uncomfortable at best and are trying to figure out how to safely get out. Men and boys are expected to 'make the first move' and this leads to pressuring and persuading. Women and girls are taught not to kick up a fuss, to oblige and not to offend. The parallels between this 100+ year old song and life today make it clear how deeply rooted these problematic gender expectations are.
