Thread Name: Origins: Springhill Disaster/Ballad of Springhill
Subject: RE: Help: Who wrote the song Springhill Desaster?
It was written by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, shortly after the '58 disaster.
Let me know if you need any more info.
It's a fabulous piece of poetry even without the lovely tune.
