Hi List
Today's 'Northern Echo' carries an article about a new video 'Brass and
Banners' which is going on sale today.
The video, made by Puddle Productions of West Rainton near Durham City,
captures the North East's mining heritage and records the history of mining
in the region, miners' traditions, their fight for better conditions, the
pit lodge banners and the music of the colliery bands. The video includes
material on the Durham Miners' Gala and the Northumberland Miners Picnic.
Alan.
