The cassette Undefeated has two settings of versions of Coal not Dole, a poem written by Kay Sutcliffe, the wife of a Kent miner. It is sung by two promising groups, Chumbawumba and Boyes Coope and Simpson.

It reappeared, linked to Remembrance Day 1992, on Coope Boyes and Simpson's first CD, Funny Old World.

The folksinger Dick Gaughan was a tireless supporter of the Miners Strike, performing at benefit gigs all over the UK. Immediately after the strike he wrote a song about it entitled The Ballad of 84, first performed at a benefit for sacked miners at Woodburn Miners Welfare Club in Dalkeith, Midlothian in '85.

Harry Stone (Hearts of Coal) by John Tams appeared on his first solo CD Unity;
He promised he would love her
Til the blackbirds stopped their singing
The mission bell stopped ringing
And they closed the coal pit down
