’84-’85 Miners’ Strike Project

Here’s ’84-’85 Miners’ Strike Project, a video by which re-imagines the community events organised in support of striking miners. Our regular collaborators The Black Smock Band appear as the in-house band. It’s a great piece; both thoughtful and powerful. And it’s a great inspiration for our upcoming collaboration with the band on The Radical History Project (working title), about which more soon…

New website

We’ve gone over to WordPress as the old site was getting a bit complicated and therefore hard to navigate, let alone keep up-to-date. Apologies if anything you’re looking for isn’t here. We’ve trimmed things down a bit. If you’re after photos, a show video or anything else that isn’t here, just drop us a line. It’ll probably be somewhere on a hard drive at Daedalus HQ.

Please let us know if you spot any glitches or if you can suggest any improvements. Thanks.
