Carlsberg don't do drunken dancers, but if they did.....lol

Most people have 2 left feet for the following 364 days till next the Miners Gala Comes round, It always brings out the best in Murtoners, I was talking to a bloke in 2004 about the Big Meeting, and he was telling me how big it was in the 50's, Pretty Much 500,000 every year, and he was saying if more places like Murton cared, it would be massive, he said although most of Murton is pissed, they know how to celebrate it

I would just like to thankyou for watching my video and for your comments regarding the video.

Every year I take lots of photos or murton band,miners gala and the people of murton, but this year I decided to do a video of them dancing at the top of the terrace.

The people of murton turn out in large numbers evey year to attend the gala, but their is never any mention of it in the Sunderland echo or on the north east news
