My current project Ghost Train is a collaborative film about the landscape and communities of the West Durham Coalfield. It follows a route along the network of disused industrial rail lines that ran throughout the region mattjamessmith.com/ghost-train

This is an opportunity for those involved with the project - and anyone else interested in it - to contribute thoughts and reflections on an early edit to help shape the final film.

A few stills from our musical adventure yesterday, going around 'The Pitman Poet' Tommy Armstrong's old haunts and singing his songs - with the fabulous Bethany Elen Coyle and Jude Murphy.
