  • loved this when it first came out

    sounds even better now

    even though i have no Welsh connection i come from an area with a strong mining history and family members who spent years down the pit.

    not getting top 30 shows that the charts where as crap then as they are now

  • I remember this song aired in 1989 on the italian music channel called Videomusic, they were airing it over and over again and I loved it, and still today gets me emotional!

  • what the fuck! I have to analyze this shit for school! damn !

  • Brilliant

  • @yippitydodah AD680, asked for fresh water for longboated his men under, gladly gave, and friends were made, and son-in-law became, and how the seed was spread for natural health.

  • I visioned my own daughter old towards the end of 21st century, in an ultra technological small grandparents house for the end of her life, and her grandaughter visiting her, with a great-granddaughter, produced still looking like her great-great grandad, and having that same young attitude to life - fuck them, on her old lap. Yes, visioned living on the south-east coast of Pembrokshire, circa 2080. Visioned a Viking boat coming on coast too AD680, genes more planted....

    "by the ways" is where colliers ate their food on breaks, away from the scream of sprakes and coal filled cable drawn drams full of coal passing by on the route to up to the screens and washery up top.

  • might have been a good idea to have the lead singer and the pianist and the choir only, with the rest of the lads sitting on seats by the ways? Just a thought, but hindsight is easy, isn't it? They do look a bit naffe plucking strings.

  • @tube2007rhw Hi yes I have started a facebook page - Rerelease A New South Wales please try and get as much support as you can

  • @peejay67 Have you thought of A Facebook group

  • @Irish Martin Thanks Martin, im trying every avenue I can. I agree - the song is stunning, I remember buying it back then too. I cant think of a more fitting tribute. If you can spread the word, and try and get people to go to the facebook page to click "like" it will be a help. Thanks for your support

  • @peejay67 Fair play to you pal i hope you succeed. I remember when this song was first released i was stunned by its beauty, when it crawled into the charts at number 38, i knew it was time to stop taking the top 40 seriously. God bless the 4, a breed of men who said "no" to the desolate Thatcher.
