- On Monday 8th April 2024 the band had the privilege of hosting a visit from members of the original cast and team from Brassed Off.
Stephen Tompkinson, Philip Jackson, Mark Herman and Steve Abbott were welcomed back to Grimethorpe in the only way we know how, with a special performance to give our thanks and award them Honorary Patrons of the band in recognition of their support following the international success of the film, which continues to resonate today.
A special night of music and memories for all involved. - เพลง
Wonderful. Brought tears to my eyes. ❤
Many thanks for uploading this video. I was very pleased to see at least some of the contributors again. Brassed off is a great film and a wonderful homage to decent normal human beings.
The Grimthorpe Band still plays beautifully. It's great that this tradition lives on.
Having grown up in County Durham, Brass Bands always touched something in me even before the 80's. Then the wicked witch, then Brassed Off.... I live in Somerset now but any Brass Band always makes me cry, and fills my heart as well. Thank you for keeping the band going and all of your wonderful music. It is as needed now as much as it ever was.
I was born in Newcastle, but grew up in the tiny coalmining village of Seghill.
I now live in America...but after all these years, and all these miles, brass bands, and especially this movie...will be forever close to this 'Geordie' heart..❤
A brilliant film and as an ex coal miner, it brings back a lot of the memories of that particular period. A very fitting story line set with very emotional music. With that cast, the brass band, how could it fail.
A great film that runs so deep❤
Wonderful, what a film. I remember living near Haworth and sitting listening to the band in the park. In my 80's now the music still makes me emotional. Even watching Bradford Park Avenue play football, standing there with my dad in all weathers with Hammond Sauce Works band playing before the game and at half time. Brass Band music was magical back then and remains so today.
It on my top 10, no... my top 5, no... my top 3 'Desert Island' DVDs. What an honour for Stephen, Philip, Mark and Steve! and well deserved.
Thank You Brilliant 😊
I wish I could get a copy of that movie. It is very hard to find in the U.S.
It's available on Amazon in the US. DVD and Bluray.
A brilliant film which revisits the miners struggles without any reference to Scargill. It did this by concentrating on the very human stories that emerge when the whole community depends on one industry and everything is being taken away from them with no hope for the future. Pete Postlethwaite's speech near the end had me in tears. The Tories pulled out all the stops to prevent this film from being re-shown leading up to the General Election - and no wonder because it was all so true and heartbreaking with it.
