GUEST,jim bainbridge	Lyr Req: Irish Coal mining songs (44)	RE: Lyr Req: Irish Coal mining songs	15 May 18
Just to say that the annual event wiich is really a homage to miners and their songs will happen again in June as part of the John McKenna TRADITIONAL FESTIVAL at Drumkeeran, Co Leitrim on 8-10 June. It will be at the Arigna Mining Museum, on the site of Dernavoggy mine, between Drumkeeran and Drumshanbo at 3pm on Sunday 10 June. It will last till about 5pm and consist of songs, poems readings & stories with relevance to the industry, wherever in the world it happened. COAL IS A NATION, and all are welcome to contribute- it's a very informal event & we'll happily 'go with the flow! We had a fine crowd and plenty of contributors last year, John McKenna did work there before heading off to make his amazing 78s in New York. Double CD of all 44 recordings still available from the John McKenna Society.... For a flavour of the 2016 Arigna event,see John McKenna Traditional' on Youtube
