Voices from the Dark

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

The last of the series in which Georgina Boyes looks at ways mining has been portrayed in music. 6: On the Times
Songs written to commemorate specific events, from
Tommy Armstrong 's The Oakley Strike Evictions to
Kay Suttcliffe 's modern classic
Coal Not Dole; from the gentle and reflective
Moonpenny Hill to
Dick Gaughan 's angry Ballad of 84; and from Jez Lowe 's humorous If Mike Neville
Said It to Sarah Ogun
Gunning's blunt Down on the Picket Line.
