Blackpool: Home of Legends

A Blackpool Caricature

If you should venture out to Blackpool, you'll not be alone

There's stars a plenty- then and now- that have made this place their own

We've hosted shows fit for the Queen, held conferences of men

We've born more than our share of heroes and we're doing it again

This is the home of entertainment- Las Vegas of the North

Release your inner self's constraints on our miles of sandy shores

Be the next Charlie Cairoli, be a Peter Kay

Do your take on old George Formby on your summer holiday

Return and play an entire season- be Joey Blower, Chubby Brown

Here is a place where fun is the reason- a bustling seaside town

A town that's played host to the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Judas Priest

In the place that made the Stone Roses famous, take a stroll along the beach.

Be Little Boots, be a Pet Shop Boy, be the Nolan family

Be Jimmy Armfield, England captain- score a hat trick like Morty at Wembley

Build a dynasty like Owen Oyston or Basil Newby, MBE. 

Be Shelley Woods breaking physical boundaries, let your dreams take flight like Amy Johnson

Build a pleasure palace like the Thompsons and spin till you want to get off.

This is Blackpool, the laughter industry beacon- forget Edinburgh with its two weeks of season

We're better, we're bigger and we're bloody not beaten and so if we are going to exist

How does your name fit onto this list?
