DIY Aesthetic: Punk is inherently associated with a DIY (do-it-yourself) ethic. This could extend to the music's production and distribution, reflecting the resourcefulness often required by homeless individuals.

Imperialism parasitic decadent and doomed Garland Nixon and Joti Brar EP29

50 years on from the closure of the last colliery in Washington, what does it mean to have mining heritage in the area? Dr Louise Powell speaks to five fascinating people who talk about what it was like to live alongside a miner – or to go ‘down the pit’ yourself.

The COAL FACE podcast has been created to accompany a broader project which includes publications of photography by Andy Martin and poetry by Dr Louise Powell, as well as exhibitions of their work at Washington F-Pit Museum (2024) and Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens (2025). The podcast is split into two, three episode series, the first of which offers a documentary-style exploration of the stories of fifteen people with close connections to mining in Washington. The second series, meanwhile, weaves interviews and soundscapes around the poetry that Powell wrote for the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens exhibition. Both series are edited and produced by acclaimed sound designer Nick John Williams. 


MUSIC CREDITS:
The song ‘Farewell to Cotia’, written by Jock Purdon, is performed by Bill Elliott.
The song ‘Just One Spark’, written by Benny Graham, is performed by Bill Elliott.


EPISODE CREDITS:
‘Coal Face Washington: Reality’ was written and narrated by Dr Louise Powell, and audio edited and produced by Nick John Williams. It features clips from interviews with Joan Sutherland, Jenny Wells, Mick Ford, Lynne Ford and Steve Wood. Additional recordings were made by Andy Martin. 

‘Coal Face Washington: Reality’ is the second in a series of three episodes which explore Washington’s mining heritage as part of the broader Coal Face project. It is supported using public funding from Arts Council England, and delivered in partnership with University College London, Redhills Durham, The Cultural Spring and Sunderland Culture. Special thanks must also go to Washington Millennium Centre for their support of the Washington phase of the project.
