Alun Parry’s brand new single ‘The Dirty Thirty’ is to be released on Monday.
The song tells the story of thirty striking miners from Leicestershire and their families during the 84/85 Miners Strike.
On March 12th this year, the anniversary of the official start of the Miner’s Strike, I will be releasing my brand new single The Dirty Thirty.
Those in the Leicestershire area will be able to listen in to the Breakfast Show on Radio Leicester on Mon (7 March) to hear me chatting about my new song The Dirty Thirty.
During the Miner’s Strike of 84/85, the Leicestershire coalfields continued to work, with two and a half thousand miners working through the strike.
Despite this, thirty or so miners refused to break the strike, despite being so isolated in their local area.
