Coal Porters in mainstream media!

Thanks to Sid Griffin (centre rear in the photo above), leader of the Coal Porters (USA/UK), for the news that the band has a track on the CD accompanying the July issue of the UK music magazine The Word.

The song 'No more chains', from their recent album Durango, can be previewed on The Word's website, where it is the #9 track (though the band is at #10 on the CD). This performance was filmed at the Square Wheels House Concert in Strathpeffer, Scotland, on 29 October 2009, and can also be seen on YouTube.

The Coal Porters, who will be headlining the 4th Westport Folk & Bluegrass Festival in Co. Mayo on 25-27 June 2010, can be seen and heard in many other videos on YouTube, including this driving performance of 'Sail away ladies', in front of a very large crowd in a London street.
