Mick Tems Lyr Req: All the Nice Girls Love a Miner (from BBC (5) Lyr Req: Tonypandy riots centerary: BBC documener 10 Nov 10


BBC Wales did a magnificent documentary on the Tonypandy Riots, which occured on November 7, 1910 when coal owners of the Cambrian Combine staged a lockout and 12,000 miners struck.

The programme showed Sophie Evans, runner-up in Over The Rainbow, singing All The Nice Girls Love A Miner, and I would dearly love to track down the words again. The lyrics went:

It's handy
In Tonypandy...

The song the BBC didn't show was one I collected from Wyn Jones:

Tonypandy, Tonypandy,
Tonypandy, don't forget;
Tonypandy, Tonypandy,
All the Welsh remember yet.
