"Better Stay Away From 'CopperHead Road'"
Steve Earle (& The Dukes), from the brilliant album 'Copperhead Road' (got it on vinyl)
Saw him at Leeds Irish Centre, just after 'Exit 0' (zero) had been released. Mega concert, on stage for over 3hours

Holmfirth is a nice little town, but bar the 'Last Of The Summer Wine' connections has not a lot going on.
Admittedly it is still a thriving market town & is thankfully not like some villages/small towns where you can buy a Alpaca cardigan & a jar of imported balsamic vinegar, but not a loaf of bread. I can name one in North Yorkshire that appears to be heading that way, it even has a Rohan shop, but no actual village-shop (as far as I know)
Around Holmfirth there are inumerable lanes.
It is also neighboured by;
HolmeMoss (the West Yorkshire/Derbyshire border is on the top & a swine to pedal up)
Saddleworth Moor (sadly still renown for Hindley & Bradys dastardly deeds)
Penistone (a nice country town, with a name that still causes local school-children some hilarity :? )
Huddersfield (a nice town with some very fine Victorian buildings, and Castle Hill -a pre-Roman defensive site; it's allegedly the highest point looking east until the Urals :shock: )
And that's just for starters
:wink:

Steve Earle is incredible live saw him 3 times at Wolverhapton Civic and once at Birmingham Symphony hall
First time I heard his music was a video of Guitar Town on the Old Grey Whistle test

S'funny, that's the first place I saw him as well.
Think I also saw Dwight Yoakham on there as well, another old favourite of mine (revealing some of my musical tastes there :D )
