Description:
Idris Davies was a miner, teacher and poet, who T.S. Eliot thought captured the atmosphere of the 1926 General Strike better than anyone else. His work received a welcome second look when Pete Seeger used a part of one of his poems as a lyric for the 1965 folk song "Bells of Rhymney". The Pop group The Birds turned it into a major hit.
The poem is a monologue I wrote to accompany my version of the song that includes some of his actual words.
