A dozen Geordie pensioners have formed what they believe is the world’s oldest hip hop collective.
Silver wRappers met on a music course for the over-50s at Newcastle College, reports the Sun.
They decided to set up a band after being thrilled by a lecture on rapping.
Margaret Hall, 80, of from South Shields, said: “We’re learning a lot and having fun. I’d no idea what rap was before.â€Â
And Ann Moore, 65, of Bedlington, Northumberland, added: “My granddaughter calls me Mrs Puff Daddy.â€Â
The group perform their first gig in Gateshead next month
