    The Proclaimers - caused quite a stir when they first surfaced as few (in pop and rock music anyway) had sung in such broad Scottish accents. After first seeing them on ‘The Tube’ I loved them immediately, instantly recognisable and with great songs too. Some music genres seem to suit regional accents more than others - obviously folk being one of them. I can’t imagine Kate Rusby or say The Unthanks using anything other than their own accents. Rock n roll, being thought of as primarily American in origin, means that most people covering it usually adopt a transatlantic style of phrasing. Not sure whether this is really correct, but after many years few question it being done.

    In my first serious band one of the guys had this model HH cab. We all went to Music Ground near Doncaster to buy some new gear, and the owner opened the shop for us in the evening to try stuff out. We ended up with an HH PA system (200 watt mixer and a pair of Pro 2x12 cabs), an HH 2x12 guitar combo and an HH bass rig ( 100 watt head and this cab). Seem to remember that although reasonably heavy the cab was quite easy to manoeuvre, and a great design with the clip off front. We used it for everything at some point - bass, keys and guitar, and it sounded fantastic. Think 215BL maybe stood for bass/lead? Anyway, great cab, and GLWTS.
