Thread Name: Songs about Aberfan (1966 mining disaster)
Subject: RE: Songs about Aberfan
So there were 7 or 8 songs relating to Aberfan event & no doubt several poems including the one in the other thread. There seems to be 3 recordings that one can obtain now, but suprisingly not Grey October, unless anyone knows differently.
Palaces of Gold (Leon Rosselson) RosselSonGs compilation Here Released 1990
Aberfan Coal Tip Tragedy (Thom Parrott)Best Of Broadside 1962-1968 Here
Aberfan (Robin Jones) Here
Aberfan (Bernie Fairlamb) (refer to 'catter Leadfingers)
Grey October (The Critics et al) I seem to be having difficulty finding a current recording of this one apart from "The Angrey Muse"
Aberfan (Dave Collins) The words are in the "Songs about Aberfan" thread, but don't know about any recordings
Aberfan (Dave Ackles) Don't know if anyone has come across this one.
40th Anniversary; maybe a missed opportunity here!
