NEXT MEETING IS JUNE 2, 2012 IRISH CULTURAL CENTER 1106 N. CENTRAL AVE. PHOENIX, AZ 12-2 P.M. In May we greatly enjoyed seeing the first half of THE WELSH MINER: The History of Miners and Mining in Wales. It is produced by Archmagic and WorldWideWales.tv, and narrated by BBC Radio Wales personality Roy Noble. This month we will view the second half. Come and join us. From the early beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, Welsh coal was prized for its increased heat output and relatively clean burn. Coal mining became the industry of the nation, especially in South Wales, where everything and everyone depended upon the pit in some way for their livelihood. Out of the pits, the arts flourished and education expanded for the working class, founding the famous choirs and social activism--and radicalism. This program explores the history of what became the iconic symbol of Wales to the world: The Welsh Miner. |
