#coalfields

Greggs, famous for its sausage rolls, has thousands of shops across the UK — but more recently they started opening Outlets, which sell off unsold, day-old items for much lower prices. Here they are, overlaid on a #map of #coalfields — because history matters.

Even before the film #BrassedOff, those of us who grew up within sight of the #coalfields of Grimey, Houghton Main and so on remember this sound swelling from the village halls at least twice weekly during banding season.

John Marcangelo's #ClogDance has always been one of my favourites - and I played it often as a percussionist in my early youth banding days. Seeing the brass get slaughtered for late mis-cues was hilarious.

Anyway, here's #ClogDance. Enjoy.
