TitleNewspaper cuttings discussing the Quarrymen’s Choir and St David’s Day Dinner
DescriptionOne envelope containing 42 newspaper cuttings discussing Lord Penrhyn presiding over the St David’s Day celebrations, the Penrhyn relief fund, and the quarrymen’s choir gaining support for the strikers cause. Lord Penrhyn presided over the St David’s Day celebration, held in Bangor, the newspapers note that he made strange comments about the quarry dispute, saying there was an “an unseen tyranny” over the strikers forcing them not to return to work. The cuttings detail the quarrymen choir travels across Britain on behalf of the Penrhyn Lock-Out Fund, describing their visits to Brighton, Mountsorrel and London and the support they received from these visits. Cuttings seem to disagree on whether the strike is coming to an end or not, as some men have returned to work but not all.
