Big birthday
The story
Birthday song for an accountant-turned-guitarist who lived in Newcastle.
What we were aiming for
The glam-rock he never stopped chasing, borrowed for his own birthday song — Newcastle kept in the title and the detail so the city is a character rather than a backdrop.
From the lyrics
Still chasing that glam-rock high
What they said
“Omg ❤️ that's absolutely 🤩 amazing. Very touched. You clever chaps. Lovely. X”
