In 1984 During the miners strike a group of writers, artists, poets, got together at the Third Eye Centre, now the CCA, and did a benefit performance in support of the striking miners. The audio file was preserved and with the artists permission Spirit of Revolt created a new CD. Now we have the privilege of hearing some of the original performers again as they gather for this memorable performances. You can also buy the CD at the performance (£5), or order from Spirit of Revolt. All benefits go to supporting Spirit of Revolt in its continuing effort at archiving Glasgow/Clydeside working class history.
