The Trimdon Grange Explosion is our 'other band' with our good friends (and 'Outside Left's') Ben Phillipson and Karl Sabino. The name is taken from a mining disaster which occurred at the Trimdon Grange colliery in the North East of England in 1882. 72 men and boys lost their lives as the mines collapsed due to a natural gas explosion. A song was written by Tommy Armstrong, a local man known as ‘the pit poet’ as a fund raiser for the grieving families of the dead. The song was recorded by Louis Killen on topic records in the 1960s.
