I think its just a joke Kendall. Notts miners didn't support their union in the great strike of 1983. Thus helping Margaret Thatcher to another umpteen years of victory. The strike was politically motivated - an attempt to unseat the Tories at a time when Labour was too weak to do it democratically.

Quite a few of the Notts miners were not scabs, and damn few miners find their way into the rather sedate company of Newark and Bingham folk clubs.

Glad you think and speak well of us, Kendall - we appreciate it.
