‘WOODY’S GOT HIS BELL BACK’ RINGS OUT ACROSS OSWALDTWISTLE
New song celebrates the laughter, gossip and unforgettable characters of Lancashire life
There are some mornings when the whole town seems to know the news before breakfast.
The latest release from Accrington author and songwriter Gabriel Undici captures exactly that feeling in Woody’s Got His Bell Back, another original song from the growing Mind The Trams Songbook.
Inspired by the colourful characters who gather around Lockwood’s Bakery, the song celebrates the humour, friendly gossip and larger-than-life personalities that gave Lancashire mill towns their unmistakable spirit.
With a lively melody and infectious sense of fun, Woody’s Got His Bell Back reminds us that even during uncertain times, communities always found reasons to laugh together.
A SONG FULL OF LANCASHIRE CHARACTER
Every town has its familiar faces.
The people who always know the latest news.
The neighbours who can turn an ordinary morning into an unforgettable story.
Woody’s Got His Bell Back celebrates those characters with warmth, affection and plenty of humour, offering listeners a joyful glimpse into everyday life before the Second World War changed everything.
FROM THE STREETS TO THE STAGE
Part of the twenty-song Mind The Trams Songbook, Woody’s Got His Bell Back continues the musical journey through 1939 Oswaldtwistle, bringing the warmth and personality of Lancashire’s communities to life.
