"Girls in Our Town" is a song about the life of young women in Newcastle, written by Bob Hudson.[1] He released it on his live album, The Newcastle Song (see the title track, "The Newcastle Song") in 1974.[1]
In 1976, country music artist, Margret Roadknight covered the song and it reached the top 40 on the Kent Music Report singles chart.[2] It also appeared on her third album, Margret Roadknight, in October of that year.[3][4][5]
According to Rachel Lucas of Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Open the track, "painted a cruel trajectory for teenage girls living in country towns; teenage school drop outs, lonely cashiers and factory workers, with nothing to keep them entertained but vanity and promiscuity."[6] It was subsequently performed by Judy Small.[7]
From October 1993 RoadKnight was a member of an a cappella quartet, Girls in Your Town, with Jarnie Birmingham, Mara Kiek, and Moya Simpson.[8][9]
