At 84 years old i have lost track of time, but many years ago I flew from my hometown of Coffs Harbour NSW Australia to Sydney to hear this marvelous band Play in the Sydney Opera House. What a night to remember that was, this brilliant group of performers had me sitting on the edge of my seat for the whole performance. The most memorable performance was by a very young musician who came onto the huge Opera House stage to perform a euphonium solo. WOW, what a brilliant musician he was, and i can still remember him as he walked onto the stage and looked around in what seemed to me amazement at the Opera House full of brass band lovers. I consider myself a very privileged Australia to have been able to see this great band live.
I am a classically trained musician (flute, clarinet, recorder, piccolo and saxophone) and I can tell you the skill of most brass bands is astounding. I love it.
The film editor should be strung up by his own drones. Just because he could, he didn’t have to. The playing is just first class. Wonderful, just wonderful.
Roy had one of the best soprano cornet tones he was one of the best and possibly not recognised as some other cornet players but listen to some of his other solo’s and judge for yourself.
I remember this brilliant piece of music 🎶 from the 50ties always jumped on the arm of settee, hi ho silver away 😀 grimethorpe band fabulous 👌 😀😀🏴
10 years old outside the city hall in Sheffield, before leaving the bus our teacher warned us not a word or a sound. First piece was the William Tell overture. Listened for a while as the slow move ment progressed and the the clarion call and chase sequence. Barbaroli turned and conducted the school kids as they shouted Hi Ho Silver. Now we all know it was the teachers humour. Have been hooked on classical music since that day.
Spine tingling and foot-tapping with emotional roots of that Albert Hall performance in Brassed Off, surely one of England's finest films. Don't ever pay lip service to supporting brass bands...go to their concerts, make a small donation or lobby your council for live performances in our town centres. There can be no other music capable of filling the eyes of the roughest and toughest guys than the wonderful music of brass.
I always heard (jokingly) that the definition of 'culture' was being able to listen to the 'William Tell Overture' and NOT think of the Lone Ranger. :)
In Great Britain you are not squat unless you are a brass band musician. Coal mining is their hobby and music is their occupation. Kudos from a brass band relic from the past here in the USA.
Our Dad Who Passed Away Two Years Ago Aged 94. Had A Vast Collection Of Brass Band Music. Grimethorpe Colliery Were A Favourite Of His. Thank You For This Treasured Memory. I have That Collection Now. God Bless Dad You're Now With Mum.
A few years before Brassed Off, I had the honour of taking the seat Alan Morrison had just vacated when Grimey finished their set at the 100th Yorkshire Miners Gala in Barnsley. They'd been absolutely spellbinding. Then we kicked off our set with 'Girl from Ipanema' ... sublime to the whatever!
That was a FANTASTIC performance !!!! Absolutely delightful and total precision and brilliance of sound !!!! Congratulations to every member of this very , very fine group !!!!
Played by Brass its just so Majestic. I was born in 1950 and was brought up with the Lone Ranger and Tonto (on an old Black and white TV in the neighbours house). I'm a huge Brass Band (and Grimethorpe) fan - and this music just makes me relive my youth every time I hear it. Awesome !!!!!
These guys are great, but what you’re about to see and hear is the very, very top of what’s possible in brass choirs today (in my humble opinion). th-cam.com/video/s4l7pW6oOQY/w-d-xo.html
I love the sound of all the brass bands . Their instruments create a unique tone that can be resonated to create a unique sound that warms the heart of their fans. There's nothing better than watching them march down the road, or even on the bandstand in the local park. I have spent many a Sunday afternoon listening to them, and it is impossible to tire from hearing these bands. The music is very early material, but will live with us forever.
Took me over a year over 40 years ago. Don't play anymore but can still tikatikatika. What was almost as hard was learning to roll r's. It's still a crappy flutter tongue with an American accent, Guey.
John Peddubriwny Brass band do not have strings I also see there are no real horns only alto horns. Then again brass bands don't have real horns either.
Fantastic can't beat a good Yorkshire brass band 😉 I left Yorkshire when I was 9Years old (63now😋) still got family their and visit. As the saying goes ya can tek the lass outa Yorkshire but ya can't tek the Yorkshire outa the lass
Still unique on brass band area. Beautiful film, well acted, the atmosphere is properly displayed, and the music is beautiful, and .......... a tribute to Pete Postlewait, as conductor. Too bad he's gone. This film is a monument to the brass band music! Martin Hammink, a fan .
This is a fantastic piece of music, whether it's being played by Grimethorpe, or Glen Campbell on a 12 sting guitar, or Buddy Greene on a harmonica, it's just hard to get enough of it. Listening to this fixes almost every problem I ever have, even if only temporarily.
magnifique Brass Band mondialement connu ! nous avons eu le plaisir d'assister à un concert hier lors du " Limoux Brass Festival " un très bon moment !!!
Incredible movie. Balled my eyes out at the end when the band plays "Land of Hope and Glory" on top of the double decker with Danny conducting. When they played this at the competition, I jumped to my feet. Couldn't help myself. If you haven't already, see this film ! PS I understand the Grimethorpe Colliery Band is in financial trouble and some of the stars are trying to help.
great ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ ♫♪ ♫♪great sound! ♫♪♫♪ ☺ ♥ ♫♪☺♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪☺ BRAVISSIMO @bisbis 🎶🎵🎼 great music! a well tuned ensemble that sounds like an organ ! Fabulous banding
I think he has mastered a skill called "circular breathing." Yes, he is quickly taking air in through his nose, while playing and blowing out a mouthful of air he has trapped between the very back of his tongue (where it meet the very back of the roof of his mouth,) and his lips. A very difficult skill.

I’m 31 years old and I would love to have been there
Brilliant turn it up and shut urr eyes world class
One of the best bands you will ever hear
Hear, hear! Eric
Don’t forget the Brighouse band 💪
I defy anyone to compare these working-class heroes with ANY world class Professional Orchestra or Elite College Marching Band!
I realize this is older but glad it popped up on my TH-cam list, they are simply brilliant. Tight as a drum!!!❤️👍🤩
I am a classically trained musician (flute, clarinet, recorder, piccolo and saxophone) and I can tell you the skill of most brass bands is astounding. I love it.
absolutely
People don’t have a clue how ridiculously good this is best musicians goin man
I loved the film "Brassed off".
The film editor should be strung up by his own drones. Just because he could, he didn’t have to. The playing is just first class. Wonderful, just wonderful.
Wonderful. Turn up the volume, folks.

The sight of Lesley Garrett and comments about triple tonguing take me down mental paths I really should not go.
I'm a Yank and didn't understand quite a few of these comments ts but I do know that this rendition of the William Tell Overture ROCKS THE HOUSE..!!
I still see the Lone Ranger and Tonto galloping along. Memories of a family now all but gone.

What about Micky Mouse? th-cam.com/video/7lz9gxsgAJI/w-d-xo.html
I was recommended to listen to this brass band from my band director and I loved it. #Iloveconcertband
brassed off a lovely movie worth the money

Absolutely true extraordinary people living ordinary lives. Remember them well from my youth.

All I can say is WOW. These guys are Amazing!! One of the very best I have ever heard. All my best from the US... Jim
Love the band. And the cornet soloist is tremendous.

Awesome Brass band with awesome talent - what a joy to listen to - gave me the chills🎺🎷📯🎶🎶🎶
It's got to be the best brass band in the world
These guys are great, but what you’re about to see and hear is the very, very top of what’s possible in brass choirs today (in my humble opinion). th-cam.com/video/s4l7pW6oOQY/w-d-xo.html
Brassed of all over again stunning performance from the band.
WOW! I think I'm going to have to make a trip to Jolly on England just to hear these lip buzzers live.
Be wel worth the trip.we are a welcoming bunch in UK. Though at the moment a little too welcoming methinks.
Thoroughly enjoyed the all brass band with this high quality performance!!
They are playing this without charts!Exceptional band.
I love the sound of all the brass bands . Their instruments create a unique tone that can be resonated to create a unique sound that warms the heart of their fans. There's nothing better than watching them march down the road, or even on the bandstand in the local park.

WOW WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan.
If most folks knew what difficulty it takes to double and triple tongue a horn. Amazing talent.
Tom Greenough not only that but to be able to do it all in perfect unison.
Took me over a year over 40 years ago. Don't play anymore but can still tikatikatika. What was almost as hard was learning to roll r's. It's still a crappy flutter tongue with an American accent, Guey.
Who on earth would give this a thumbs down?! That was brilliant.
Considering that this is played without a string section, it's probably as good as you will ever hear.
John Peddubriwny Brass band do not have strings I also see there are no real horns only alto horns. Then again brass bands don't have real horns either.
@Sylvia: I did know that. My point was that I had never heard this piece before without a string section. But thanks anyway.
I figured that you did know. I play the horn in orchestra and when I see Eb Altos I cringe. To me, THEY are FRENCH Horns!
@Sylvia: Thanks for the reply. Being the Philistine that I am, I had to look up "Eb Altos". Best wishes.
Absolutely LOVE Listening to This Band la, FANTASTIC, GREAT Band
Great sound.
Great band!!!🎉🎉
Saw these guys live in concert when they came to Christchurch New Zealand - brilliant!!!!!
Fantastic musical performance !
Fantastic can't beat a good Yorkshire brass band 😉 I left Yorkshire when I was 9Years old (63now😋) still got family their and visit. As the saying goes ya can tek the lass outa Yorkshire but ya can't tek the Yorkshire outa the lass
Still unique on brass band area. Beautiful film, well acted, the atmosphere is properly displayed, and the music is beautiful, and .......... a tribute to Pete Postlewait, as conductor. Too bad he's gone.

So great --and such great dynamics!!
OMG, they are great. Perfect music to show off there versatility. All horn players were excellent. Very impressed! Thank you!

I'm Scottish and these guys are awesome.

Wunderbar. Danke ein Posaunist
This band is never less than perfect. Bravo Grimethorpe.

And green cheeks.!!
Don't forget the beer and pigions
Don’t forgot Yorkshire Gold Tea, I don’t think I could live without that
Fabulous talent!
I saw them perform this at Snape Maltings a couple of weeks ago, fantastic!
DANG! Loved those cornet flautists. That's great brass! Loved it all. Wish you all lived and performed near me somewhere so I could hear more.
Wow! Pure perfection. This is a lesson in musical elocution. So pure and precise. I could listen to it over and over again.
Awsome, wow! Yup hard to hear any band as good as this!
This is phenomenal
excelente ! magistral apresentação e execução musical . . .
Liked over here in Lancashire 👍
Accordian for the willam tell ove
By eck that were bloody marvellous
I love brass band music. It’s brilliant. I’m a Southener so no affiliation to either York’s or Lancs.
Don't forget the Scottish pit bands! I was a member of Buckhaven and Methil for a few years. Only 3rd section but a great bunch of people.
I remember seeing the movie which was gut wrenching, but what a wonderful movie overall.
Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 com brio; Perfect harmony!
Astonishing.............BRAVO from the USA.
Absolutely brilliant
Played without sheet music and to perfection..keep it up
Please.....
These guys are something else.
absolutely brilliant such tight playing intonation sheer magic well done
Fabulous performance!
Incredible movie. Balled my eyes out at the end when the band plays "Land of Hope and Glory" on top of the double decker with Danny conducting.

Vravo fantastic band..... from Korea
ben eseguito e Rossini non è facile e poi a memoria bravi
Absolutely brilliant
that tongueing omg.
Smilers and whistlers gone wild.
Sharp as!👌🏻
Definition of a classical person= some one who can listen to this w/o thinking of the Lone Ranger.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant!!
Being a Barnsley lass I love this band ...
Wow! Very nice. Thank you!
great ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ ♫♪ ♫♪great sound! ♫♪♫♪ ☺ ♥ ♫♪☺♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪☺ BRAVISSIMO @bisbis 🎶🎵🎼 great music! a well tuned ensemble that sounds like an organ ! Fabulous banding
Wonderful...thank you....
Excellent.
I wonder if Rossini knew how good this would sound in a brass band.
Brilliant!
Wow. What great camera work and editing. Right with the music. Yeah cornets!
Going to see this band on Sunday. As a brass player myself I am VERY excited
I LOVE Brassed Off!!
Brilliant 👌
The best brass band in the world playing the greatest classical tune of all time!
Brilliant beyond words! And no music! (The 68 "thumbs down" would have come from very jealous bandsmen!)
This is just incredible. The piece is so very difficult, and what about that virtuoso cornet solo?!! Utterly, utterly fantastic.
I couldn't figure out when he took a breath, if he even did. Maybe he was breathing while playing, like Rafael Mendez (Moto Perpetuo).
I think he has mastered a skill called "circular breathing." Yes, he is quickly taking air in through his nose, while playing and blowing out a mouthful of air he has trapped between the very back of his tongue (where it meet the very back of the roof of his mouth,) and his lips. A very difficult skill.
Great rendition of the 3rd movement of Rossini’s William Tell Overture.
Lovely Host, Lovely music 👍
Yeah! Awesome, loved the video ! Music is the prime thing ever isn't it? I'm so happy to be a musician!
Reminds me of the Salvation Army brass bands which I had the honour of playing in as a teen to young adult.
Fantastic Band!! KKB
I love this piece. But, I also like the complete William Tell. The part leaving up to this finale part. Nice job
It’s even better as the overture to the complete opera.
Absolute champion
