Description
Lumsdaine's poetic collage was recorded on location at the Durham Miners' Gala, 1971 – a large annual gathering associated with the coal mining heritage of the region, and known as The Big Meeting. This remarkable work assembles snatches of brass bands, choirs, speech and song alongside the sounds of a historic occasion.
