Thread Name: List of Mining Disaster Songs
Subject: List of Mining Disaster Songs
Recently there was the Anniversary of The Box Flat Mining Disaster (Ipswich, Queensland Australia). The News showed a guy strumming an autoharp singing part of a mournful song. I didn't recognise the song from the short fragment.
Which got me thinking - was that a specific song about Box Flat, and even more so, just how many Mining Disater songs are there?
I've found a few from the title filter, if you find any more, please link them here.
