About the Exhibition
Over the last 3 years, The Common Room has worked with local people to uncover stories and histories of mining and engineering across the Great Northern Coalfield, in the North East of England.
The Common Room and historian, Dr Dorothy Hamilton, worked with 4 groups of adult learners across County Durham, Darlington, Northumberland and Tyne & Wear to research the industrial heritage of their local areas, with some focusing on specific key individuals and innovations, whilst others uncovered aspects of social history where they live.
Each group co-created a display banner with The Common Room and Dr Dorothy Hamilton, which are now on display at The Common Room, and showcase the discoveries each group made over their 10-week course.

About Matt Deighton
Matt Deighton’s stunning discography tells a story of genuinely great musicianship and songwriting, but most of all, of the beauty and fragility of one of Britain’s greatest lost talents and how life around him has sometimes shaped a fate beyond his control. An artist who returns with something more beautiful every time the storm abates, 2021 saw the re-emergence of British folk’s most enigmatic lost son – a favourite among musicians, songwriters and diehard music lovers.
You may recognize Matt from his time fronting acid jazz heroes Mother Earth or as Paul Weller’s guitarist in the late 90s. Likened as the natural successor to Nick Drake, Davey Graham and John Martyn, Matt’s discography shines like a diamond among the silt – Villager was the subject of a Mojo ‘Buried Treasure’ feature and is oft hailed as a British folk classic.
‘It’s impossible to imagine fans of Nick Drake or John Martyn not falling in love with him…’

Tengger is a travelling musical family, made up of Pan-Asian couple, Itta (from South Korea) and Marqido (from Japan), who create their brand of psychedelic New-Age drone magic through the use of Voice, Indian harmonium, and toy instruments (played by Itta) and synths & electronics (played by Marqido). The duo originally started out with the moniker “10” but since the birth of their son Raai (who joins them on tour and playing Voice, Synth, Toy Instrument, Dance performance on stage) in 2012, have called themselves Tengger (meaning ‘unlimited expanse of sky’ in Mongolian) to mark the expansion of the family. It also means ‘huge sea’ in Hungarian.Travel, as spiritual experience in real environments, and the sound between the space and the audience have been central themes of their works. The family’s yearly pilgrimages inform every aspect of their art.

FFO: Harmonia / Belbury Poly / Laraaji
