@Spratmac8 - thanks for the comment - glad you like the video. The song was played on Radio 2 by Paul Jones last month and I am hoping that more people will get to hear it soon. Best wishes - Graeme
@InternetTG - dunno - but this is basically a true story. My Grandad survived, his brother was killed in the blast. My Grandad survived because the night before, he had been out for a drink and wasn't feeling to good. He put it down to a bad pint - obviously - a GOOD pint! The name of the pub was The Black Diamond.
Hope u like the song - please pass it on! Thanks Graeme
Have been searching for this song for months now, since my pa saw an article in the hartlepool mail. very glad i've finally found it! my name is John Noble great grandson of said Bob Noble and it's great to finally hear this tribute. cheers
I guess we are related! I am Thomas Noble's grandson. I was taken as a child, almost every Sunday morning to the memorial to look at Grandad's brother's name. It took many years before the song came out - glad you like it. I can send you a CD if you want? Not sure where you live - but for one week only - my sister is staying with relatives in Blackhall - if you are near?
Thanks for watching - really glad you liked it - it took such a long time from writing the song to get to this point! It's worth it tho - and as a musician that's something to learn - you don't leave things forever. Maybe that's true for Easington too.
Hi Graeme, thanks for the story - and the song. Both my granda's were Durham miners (Horden and Craghead) their stories should not be forgotten.
Best Regards

Great song, moving video. Respect to Tom Noble and all the other Easington 'moles' who dug the black diamonds
