Mining Disaster: The Last Of The Widows.

Is this the most poignant song ever written in English?
Jez Lowe brings to life the Easington Colliery Disaster of June the 1st 1951 in which 83 men perished in The Duckbill Seam.
His voice is an acquired taste (I have acquired it) but the song amazes and astounds without ever stumbling into sentimentality.
It brings tears to my eyes with every hearing. I understand that it followed a newspaper announcement of the death of 'The Last Of The Widows Of The Duckbill Seam.'
