00:00 Could you tell me who you think the most quintessentially Sheffield band ever is?
00:04 It's actually the only band I know with active monkeys.
00:06 Do you think they sound as though they can only come from Sheffield then?
00:10 I think they sound like they can only come from England, not really Sheffield, but I think it's
00:18 quite... it's a decent band to say the least. Could you tell me please who you think is the
00:24 most quintessentially Sheffield band of all time? Well probably Pulp, after that Evan 17.
00:30 Why do you think they could only really come from Sheffield?
00:34 It's just Jarvis isn't it and Glenn Gregory, Evan 17, all those kind of people. That's what I grew
00:40 up with. Could you tell me please who you think the most quintessentially Sheffield band is,
00:45 the band that could only really come from Sheffield? Well there's probably Pulp and
00:49 there's probably Arctic Monkeys, I would have thought. Why do you think they're quintessentially
00:53 Sheffield? Because they sing about, especially Arctic Monkeys, sing about Sheffield and
01:00 the local area and Jarvis because it's Jarvis. Could you tell me please who you think is the
01:06 most quintessentially Sheffield band ever? I'd definitely say the Arctic Monkeys
01:11 because some of the words they use are the only words you hear in Sheffield.
01:14 Could you tell me who you think is the most quintessentially Sheffield band and why?
01:22 I think it's definitely Rim of the Horizon. I mean from Sheffield, still core to the values,
01:29 still proud to be from Sheffield, that northern proper voice.
