A TRIBUTE to pit culture is to take place in an arts event.
How Are You For Coals? is a mixture of folk music, drama and photography reflecting the tragedies, struggles and humour of life in a mining community.
Musicians Bob Fox and Benny Graham will be playing a set which includes songs written by Tommy Armstrong, an ex-miner known as the Pitman's Poet, who died in 1970.
The event takes place at Sunniside Community Centre, near Crook, at 7.30pm, next Tuesday.
