- Summary
- BFI synopsis: Carroll Levis presents a miners song.
COI Commentary - Today we salute the miners who have the tremendous task of bringing coal to us in this day of need. I have written the Miners Song, as a tribute to the magnificent spirit of these brave men. James Hetherington’s father was a Durham miner, and my father was a miner too, and this is a special arrangement by Hal Evans, himself an ex-miner; but whoever you are, join James Hetherington and the Male Choir and sing "Sing The Miners Song" - Keywords
