- Summary
- BFI synopsis: A colliery deputy, Martin Shaw, who is also a dance band leader, who spends 3 to 4 evenings a week playing around the Nottinghamshire Coalfield.
NCB Commentary - Martin Shaw is a bandleader - with a difference. He plays string bass in a band specialising in the music of the 20s and 30s, and his daytime life is spent down in the bottom register too - he’s a deputy at Newstead Colliery.
Most evenings in the week, with the dayshift ended at Newstead, Martin Shaw lays down his deputy’s stick to take up his bass fiddle and it’s off on the road again to another one-night stand. - Keywords
