One Big Blow

Sunday 3rd August
7:30pm
Tickets £8/£6 concessions

Set in a coal mining village in the 1980s, showing two sides of the miners' lives, the tough conditions under which they work and the effect this has on their health and their escape from this when they play in the colliery brass band. Even this is tainted when Wally, the lead cornet player begins to suffer from Black Lung Disease and can play no more - the search is on to find a replacement.

It features original music by Rick Lloyd, all sung a capella. 25 years ago the innovative 7:84 Theatre Company (England) toured village halls, particularly pit villages, with this production. In 1982 it was televised by Granada Television.

7:84 Theatre Company's original piece of physical theatre features six actors playing several characters each with virtually no props, stunning a capella singing including creating a brass band using only voices.
