In a powerful collaboration, poet Rab Wilson and musician Seán Gray have woven together a tapestry of tales, both triumphant and tragic, from this pivotal period. Their voices resonate in the evocative setting of Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life, where the echoes of the past come alive. Experience the passion and pain, the victories and losses, as art pays homage to the miners and their families. Be transported through time with excerpts from Rab Wilson’s stirring new book, “Collier Laddie,” and the soulful melodies of Seán Gray’s latest CD, “Fixed Assets.”
