Blackleg Miner information


"Blackleg Miner" is a 19th-century English folk song, originally from Northumberland (as can be deduced from the dialect in the song and the references in it to the villages of Seghill and Seaton Delaval). Its Roud number is 3193.[1] The song is one of the most controversial English folk songs owing to its depiction of violence against strikebreakers.
