Episode Three | The Defeated North?

Many thanks to Chris Peace and Kate Flannery - in the interview Kate's is the first voice you hear, followed by Chris. They are from the Orgreave Truth & Justice Campaign https://otjc.org.uk We wish them well in all their work.

Thanks also to Lesley Boulton for taking us back to Orgreave and telling us the story of that day.

We also want to acknowledge John Harris who took the photo we discussed. Here is a link to a photographic essay about the strike and the day. The Miners Strike - A Photo Essay

Gratitude to Harry Paterson for his interview with us. His book Look Back in Anger is widely available. His website is worth a good look. https://harrypaterson.com

Thanks as always to the KLF for Grim Up North, and to Billy Bragg for such a great rendition of Joe Hill's There is Power in a Union.
