Summary This is the story of the Thurnscoe Harmonic Male Voice Choir. The Thurnscoe Harmonic Male Voice Choir was formed in September, 1924 by a group of young men from the local chapel. Because Thurnscoe was a mining community, the vast majority of its members were coal miners, that was, until the late 1980s. This documentary tells the story of how the Choir survived the upheaval following the closure of the pit which was the focus of the village.
