8th July - Stanrigg Miners' Memorial Service The band would like to thank Peter Downie and the Stanrigg Colliery Memorial Committee for their kind invitation to play at the memorial service held on Sunday 8th July in Plains, Airdrie. The service was held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the pit disaster at Stanrigg Colliery when nineteen miners tragically lost their lives whilst working down the mine. A large crowd, including local dignitaries, representatives of the national Union of Miners, North Lanarkshire Council and the Scottish Coal Industry Special Welfare Fund (SCISWF) were in attendance to pay their respects to the miners.
