Not only is my lover away, but Eddie Mair isn't on PM! I think I need a cup of tea...

Just heard a lovely piece on R4 news re Paul Robeson's connection with Wales. Not sure what put it in news today, but I did know about mutual support between Robeson and the miners in Wales. There's a famous recording from 50's where he sent his support to Wales:

He captured the sympathy of the miners of Wales when he sang in Jack Jones 1939 film Proud Valley with Rachel Thomas, as the character David Goliath.

To address the Miners' Eisteddfod in Porthcawl in 1957, he spoke to via a transatlantic link to the miners' leader Will Paynter
