This is the final Episode of Series One. We have had a blast doing these Podcasts and we hope you have enjoyed them as much as we have. Special thanks go to the Woodhorn Colliery Museum for allowing us to record in their fantastic space, and very special thanks to Vicky Jones one of the staff who was a modern version of the Pitmen Painters as she was studying for a history degree and shared her ambition to write about her home town and Ashington and the history of the North East. Her Grandad was an Ashington Miner and she gave us such a great tour!
You can view the the Theodore Major interview here. The Robson Green ITV documentary is very good about the Pitmen Painters you can see that here
We are taking a break to pursue other projects until May but there will be all sorts of extra and bonus material posted here in the mean time and please share the episodes you like with your friends. Remember it might seem Grim Up North but it is really Rich Up North! Matt and Adrian
