Blossoms translate northern slang

The Stockport five-piece take you through some of the most interesting Northern slang ahead of their Manchester show for Radio X.

One of the best things about Great Britain is the huge difference in regional dialects… from North to South, East to West, the variation in language is incredible.

What do you do with “chuddy”? What on earth is a “ginnel”?

And what better way to celebrate Blossoms headlining our Radio X Is Ten Live with Škoda show in Manchester this month than by watching the band take us through some of the best Northern words?

Watch our video above where they take us through everything from the well-known "our kid" to "sweating cobs" above.
