“A remarkable collection of words, music and images, scratching the surface of a historic Newcastle burial ground, and inviting us to dig deeper. In a score of new melodies, and almost as many poems, the uncovered story of the lower strata of Tyneside society is recreated and retold – vivid, moving, full of pain and horror. Marina Dodgson, Maurice Condie and Harry Gallagher craft a striking image of a very different time, yet one which resonates strongly with the sufferings and injustices of today.” Alex Monaghan
