Every music and history teacher in the UK should get a field trip up for these events. After all, they are unwritten history events that should never be forgotten. Full of Pride and History. Thank you, Dave, for showing this. I. I am sending it to my children and grandchildren for education purposes. My kids have been to them in the past, as I took them.
Well said Paul Whittaker Esq., you are so right. 2023 DMG will be suppressed, and won’t feature on national news. They are all afraid in Westminster in their little bunkers. Time, and our patience, has run out for them. Keep the pressure up!
Hi Dave, Thank you Dave for filming all the wonderful sights and sounds of the superb Durham Miners Gala! Watching all those lovely amazing folk with their equally amazing, beautiful banners proudly high, was undeniably very moving. Especially when the accompanying superb brass bands were proudly and very accomplished musicians, we're marching side by side. I'm so happy the "Sun had his hat on" and was bright ly shining down on all of those lovely amazing people. I can see and hear from your commentary Dave, your loving every single minute and I'm wishing you the best ever time there at the amazing Durham Miners Gala! I may have to be there this time next year as it's amazing place to be t and the atmosphere must be wonderfu and all those people in attendance are amazing, lovely, people! I'm looking forward now to watching all your other films of the Gala! OMG! The brass band playing Flash Dance, theme tune was wonderful and they are all first class talented musicians!
Morning Dave and John nice to hear a lovely brass band have a lovely day supporting the working classes and the unions. Fffffthe Tory's out now. Well-done Dave.
Thanks so much, Dave. I’m with you in spirit. Unity is strength & help each other. How very different from the clusterfuck of a government we have. ✊✊✊
I have to say thank you, Dave, for bringing us your podcast. We would be there ourselves, but due to my husband's illness, you and Long Johnny are doing it for us, much-appreciated brothers. ✊🏼💕✊🏽🚩 Thank you both. You're doing a great job for those not able to. Solidarity! to all! ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾🚩Bass bands bring me to tears 🥲every time, I hear them, can’t even tell you why. ❤️ keep it coming, Dave. Love and respect. 💕✊🏼✊🏽🚩
My dad was a fitter at trm he had his leg amputated by a bar crane ,he was playing football within 6 months 😮 i had a good living as a youth ,football pitch ,tennis court,bowliing green, my dad run works social club😂 they wanted him to take a managers job,he said no i want to work on my old job with my mates, trm was great to the lads 👍
Afternoon Dave, keep these videos coming, they are great. I do love a Union banner and a good brass band. Standing on the shoulders of Giants, that's written around the two pound coin, and we certainly are. Here's to an end to all Right wing Authoritarian politics and governments, it's time to say no and vote against it, F*ck the Tories both Conservative and Labour!!!! NOT MY LABOUR PARTY!!!! VOTE LEFT, VOTE GREEN AND STICK IT TO ALL TORIES BLUE AND RED!!!!! All the very best, ✊👍👍👍👍👊✌️💚💚💚🌍. PS, Union Banners are works of art.
Yes, a grand day out and demonstration of solidarity - a big hug to all in Durham Miners’ Gala today. Sadly, like nobody can recall anything good being done by a Tory, apart from resigning, Starmer has turned his back on TU’s, strikers, and picket lines. All financial support from TU’s should be stopped until we see proper robust backing from Starmer.
Thanks for capturing the Durham Miners Assoc. Band.. with going in earlyish every year we get missed.. We are proud of our heritage. Although I worked in the offices, I'm a redundant "miner worker" too made redundant from Easington in 1993. Just love this day.
My pleasure Julie. You should rightly be proud of your heritage and of your community. You have lots to be proud of. It’s the best day of the year for me, I can’t wait for the next one. Take care ✊👍✌️😎
Morning folks! Fabulous sight and sound to behold, Much respect, admiration, and solidarity to all the people of unity. Brilliant banners, love the sentiments. Have a great day chaps.
Magnificent as a old miner 2 strikes the bands and the real people from the time, I really didn’t think there was any tears left? I just realised there is! Thanks 😂
Morning Dave and John love a brass band power to the unions ✊✊👏👏nice to see all those people , yes how the fuck did people vote conservative in power more amazing how they still in 😢
Decided after extended celebration of Wakefield beating Wigan Friday night and checking the weather today to miss Durham this year only the 4th miss since 1986. Enjoy the day Dave.
@@DonkeyDave269 thankyou dave! And thankyou great great grandad joseph Hayton! And also love for great grandad joseph Hayton and great nana Durham always in our hearts! The littleborough family.
"Im still standing" better than I ever did. Grandad would have been so proud to have seen all these people supporting the unions he fought for so many years ago.
Nice one dave I'll be taking my son niall there soon, will tell him to say hello if he see's you. I used to get up & ride in on the banner bus from east hetton colliery (kelloe) when I was a lad, saw Tony Benn speak there.

The tories would have it stopped, they want to hide our industrial struggles not educate our children as to what REALLY happened.
Hi Paul. Yes I’m hoping next years will be even bigger. What a great event it is. And like you say, should never be forgotten ✊✊
