No More Coals From Newcastle: Test Dept At AV Festival

Luke Turner travels to the AV Festival in Newcastle and sees Test Dept make a powerful, moving statement about the end of the coal industry and Miners' Strike with a gigantic installation at Dunston Staithes on the River Tyne.

"It's one of the most emotionally draining and inspiring pieces of political art or music I've ever witnessed."
