I didn't know there was talent like this in Wigan, since I've been working away a few years. Real Wigan humour in your songs, and backed by genuine musical talent. I'm blown away. Thanks for the videos. I've been browsing your website and facebook page and I will be buying some stuff and passing the word on. Great bunch of lads you seem as well. Proud of what you are doing. Keep on keeping on...your latest fan :)
Now a 34 year absence, family still there in Orrell and Standish, at 57 years old I remain proud of my birthplace. My 23 year old son, born in Henley On Thames (Oxford John Radcliffe Hospital) is a massive and unswerving Latics fan
I'm from Wigin, I were born ere, I live ere and im gunna die ere! LUV WIGAN SOOOOO MUCH, PROUD WIGANER AND ALWAYS WILL BE! :) great songm shud really do another :) xx
Love this song. Being a muso myself, I am always on the lookout for new material to learn, so I might learn this (even though I'm not from Wigan), and I might try it on the 5-string.
dont know how i came across this video, but ur really good i love this song, keep it up guys, will get me and the mrs to watch you when your next playin in wigan
"Well I got booked by a Bobby once ... ... for pinchin' eggs from a bird's nest" Tha wor? Dunta mean "fer pinchin' eggs frum a brid's neest? (Talk like thine would a sin thi barred frum Gorner's Cafe) - LOL. Who ever wrote these lyrics is obviously a "foreigner" (more LOL's). Seriously, a truly great song ... accompanied as it is by a great video. I am a Wiganer ex-pat living 6,000 miles away - in Pattaya, Thailand. Actually born across from Our Lady's church - Haigh Road - Haigh.

Makes you proud to be a Wiganer does that song and no two ways. l was born in a two up and two down in Frog lane. Dad worked at the old Pagefield wagon works and mum made mint balls for Joe Santus just up the road. So,would l move out of Wigan? Eventually,yes. But lnce cemetery is still in the boundary l believe!
Cheers Anthony for the comment. We're at the Alison Arms in Coppull this Sunday night from 8.00pm for about an hour as part of the Coppull Folk Festival, or just look at the website for gig details chonkinfeckle.co.uk Thanks again
@crankbv1 Aye, when the town had a good industrial economy! Pagefield wagon works, Wow!! If I could have anything, it would be a time machine, then I could nip back in time to see how our fair town has changed over the years!! Many thanks for the comment.
Yep..really love your stuff, lads. Great ambassadors for Wigan! Just out of curiosity, which member of Chonkinfeckle is it who replies to these comments?
@MissBeth63 Autotune! Nah, not us! That was a one take in a studio, it really should have been done again, but the studio time was free, so we didn't have time. Well, the ukes are Mahalo Strat type ukulele And the other is a Countryman banjo ukulele!! Cheers for the comment!
Great song! Sweet as the blast of air from the Mintball factory vent ! 🙂
Good to see Chonkinfeckle's work on show at Wigan museum's music exhibition. The original draft of " I'm From Wigan Me". Such a funny song!!
I'm from Wigan but started university in North Whales this year. Whenever I miss home I just sit and watch this, always makes the day better.
Where is Whales?
Absolutely fantastic 👍👍👍
