Subject: Rock-Folk version of Springhill Mining

I am awfully sorry if it considered rude on this forum to resurrect a thread that I had started only a couple of months ago. I have tried searching for it to see if I had received any more replies, but cannot find it.

I had posted previously asking if anyone can think of who did a folk-rock version of Springhill mining disaster, lead singer was male, had a nasal voice, tempo was faster than normal, heavy use of guitars and not much chorus pedal. If Vin Garbutt sung the song backed by Metallica it would approximate what this version sounded like!

It was recorded at least 15 years ago. I know that it wasn't U2, Arizona Smoke Review, Dubliners, Men of the Deeps.

One person here had replied that this description rang a bell, but couldn't quite put a finger on it...

If anyone else has an idea, please put me out of my misery, let me know!

p.s. I know it was definately the Springhill Disaster, not the Gresford Disaster

Thanks a lot Diane
