L is levant where the man engine failed

Info about the mining disaster where the man engine failed at Levant mine, killing 32 men can be found here

Sorry we are taking time to share this song with you, there were so many mines in Cornwall, we thought we'd give you time to mtake each one in............

Oh, and the Chorus goes.......

Drill and Blast
Bar and fill
If Bucca don't get you
The Bal Maiden will.

You can hear the song performed as part of the show Cornish Lads at Bideford Folk festival, visit the Cornwall Songwriters website for info on other venues (sorry all in UK) or you could buy a CD with it on for £12 - pm me or Crowdercref for more info.

Cheers, Lucy
