Mike Skinner aka The Streets

[AngloScot]

What local English accent does Mike Skinner have?

[Doolallygirl]

He's a proud Brummie! So a Birmingham accent.

[Hammer]

Think there's a bit of London influence in there too, but he is a brummie.

[becks]

Cor the Brummie doesn't come across in the 'songs' at all, ar fort ee woz sarf lahndahn...

[bobbobley]

born in brum, lived mostly in london during his formative years, so cockernee with a hint of funny brummy.

[Philtaz]

I'm in agreement with becks, he's a surefire Cockney geezah! Are people getting confused on here between MIKE Skinner and FRANK Skinner(from Smethwick, W. Mids)?

[littleoldme]

Sorry to disagree Philtaz, he's definitely a Brummie by birth but has adopted a Cockernee accent because it sells more records :O) Cynical, moi?

[Philtaz]

littleoldme, I bow to your superior knowledge!
