Songs about the County of Leicestershire are in somewhat short supply. In an attempt to
remedy this Brian Langtry has released this film.
In an attempt to remedy this Brian Langtry has released this film to
recognise this violent and traumatic part of Leicestershire`s history.
This is a collection of new, self penned, songs. The songs are in the
folksy/country style and cover a large variety of topics related to the
people and places of the County. There are 14 songs on the CD and
Brian`s playing and singing is augmented by several guest singers and
musicians. For these contributions Brian is greatly indebted.
The CD is priced at £6 + £1 p&p from Legless Productions Ltd. Contact

THE DIRTY THIRTY
This film, by Brian Langtry and
Len Holden, is the compelling
story of
the only Leicestershire
miners to reject the
call of their Union, the
UDM,
to stay in work during the bitter nationwide miners strike of 1984.
The name “Dirty Thirty” was given to them by former colleagues who saw
their rejection of the UDM stance as an act of betrayal. The 30 braved
isolation,stigmatisation,verbal and physical abuse whilst they remained
on strike for the duration of the dispute. This sacrifice has largely been
forgotten when the history of The Miners Strike concentrates mostly on
other issues.

Rainy
Day

authority
accountant,who
in
the
last
months
of
his
life,

caravan

Norfolk
resort
of
Cromer
with
the
aim
of
seeking
some
resolution
to
the
emotions
and
memories
from
the
single
most
treasured,yet
brief,
interlude
of
a
once
in
a
lifetime
love
affair
which
barely
lasted
three
months
and
ended
over
twenty
years
ago.
The
film
tells
the
humerous,dark,poignant
and
uplifting
story
of
how
Bernard
strives
to
achieve
this
end
whilst
leaving
behind
a
legacy
the
like
of
which
he
feels
was
largely
pointless
and,
at
best,
mundane.
The
film
lasts
for
just
over
an
hour.

was
previewed
