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’m 31 years old and I would love to have been there
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 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 remember this brilliant piece of music 🎶 from the 50ties always jumped on the arm of settee, hi ho silver away 😀 grimethorpe band fabulous 👌 😀😀🏴
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.
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.
I was recommended to listen to this brass band from my band director and I loved it. #Iloveconcertband
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 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.
That was a FANTASTIC performance !!!!
Absolutely delightful and total precision and brilliance of sound !!!!
Congratulations to every member of this very , very fine group !!!!
A young Richard Marshall now of Black Dyke fame!
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.
The sight of Lesley Garrett and comments about triple tonguing take me down mental paths I really should not go.
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.
Absolutely true extraordinary people living ordinary lives. Remember them well from my youth.
brassed off a lovely movie worth the money
Brilliant, good ol Yorkshire
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 !!!!!
Hi Ho Silver away!!!
Wonderful. Turn up the volume, folks.
Awesome Brass band with awesome talent - what a joy to listen to - gave me the chills🎺🎷📯🎶🎶🎶
that tongueing omg.
love it my dad was a miner up in Sunderland but he hated the brass band lol but i love it .... BRASSED OFF way to go ...
Who couldn't smile listening to this!
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.
Love the band. And the cornet soloist is tremendous.
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!
Keep going, those of us who love brass, keep going, please!
Brassed of all over again stunning performance from the band.
I still see the Lone Ranger and Tonto galloping along. Memories of a family now all but gone.
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. :)
What about Micky Mouse? th-cam.com/video/7lz9gxsgAJI/w-d-xo.html
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
Thoroughly enjoyed the all brass band with this high quality performance!!
Wow! Pure perfection. This is a lesson in musical elocution. So pure and precise. I could listen to it over and over again.
Brilliant turn it up and shut urr eyes world class
Definition of a classical person= some one who can listen to this w/o thinking of the Lone Ranger.
These boys ain't no slouches.
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!
Watch the film!
Absolutely LOVE Listening to This Band la, FANTASTIC, GREAT Band
flat caps whippets and brass bands the pride of yorkshire long live us tykes
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
To add to my previous post I have to say Rossini composed a miraculous piece. Put Rossini and Grimethorpe together was a stroke of genius.
They are playing this without charts!Exceptional band.
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.
Fantastic musical performance !
This band is never less than perfect. Bravo Grimethorpe.
I remember seeing the movie which was gut wrenching, but what a wonderful movie overall.
Awsome, wow! Yup hard to hear any band as good as this!
WOW WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan.
By eck that were bloody marvellous
Vravo fantastic band..... from Korea
These guys are something else.
I wonder if Rossini knew how good this would sound in a brass band.
This is phenomenal
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
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.
Fabulous talent!
Saw these guys live in concert when they came to Christchurch New Zealand - brilliant!!!!!
Great sound.
Great band!!!🎉🎉
Astonishing.............BRAVO from the USA.
Going to see this band on Sunday. As a brass player myself I am VERY excited
Wunderbar. Danke ein Posaunist
Brilliant
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 !!!
Absolutely brilliant
Britain's finest Brass Band, it's a pity Thatcher destroyed the Pit & the clean burn coal power station that went with it, absolute quality Brass Band .
The reason the mines were closed was pressure from the the EEC. Even then in the eighties they were interfering in our way of life.
Smilers and whistlers gone wild.
Sharp as!👌🏻
Absolutely brilliant
Played without sheet music and to perfection..keep it up
Please.....
I LOVE Brassed Off!!
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.
Absolute champion
Simply the best.!!!!!!
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.
Absolute perfection!
I'm Scottish and these guys are awesome.

ben eseguito e Rossini non è facile e poi a memoria bravi
Being a Barnsley lass I love this band ...
Excellent.
excelente ! magistral apresentação e execução musical . . .
Fabulous performance!
Reminds me of the Salvation Army brass bands which I had the honour of playing in as a teen to young adult.
I saw them perform this at Snape Maltings a couple of weeks ago, fantastic!
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 .
Brilliant 👌
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.
Sheer joy.
Wow! Very nice. Thank you!
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.
Fabulous
Liked over here in Lancashire 👍
Accordian for the willam tell ove
We might talk a bit queer and we might seem a bit daft but there's not much we can't do up here in Yorkshire and when it comes to brass bands we have the best and second to non so says the Yorkshire lass.
One of my favourite marches, lad, "Yorkshire Lass", th-cam.com/video/IOQSBUDePDQ/w-d-xo.html
Are any of them from Yorkshire ?
How wonderful that a group of ordinary working men found the time, talent, and desire to achieve above and beyond anything they probably ever dreamed of! You certainly are a credit to your families that supported MANY HOURS of practice, and work, and how proud ALL of your community must be of you! You are a symbol of what ordinary people are really capable of if they have the desire to rise above their dreams! (and work for them!)
I think Yorkshire people would struggle to be born somewhere different to where they actually where
Never a truer word said! 👏👏👏
Wonderful...thank you....
Brilliant. Simply brilliant!!
absolutely brilliant such tight playing intonation sheer magic well done
lads and lasses from Barnsley can just do everything!
Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 com brio; Perfect harmony!
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.
Thank you for sharing! 谢谢您的分享！
the number of people who have seen this video speaks for itself...........
Fantastic Band!! KKB
I went to college, oh so many years ago, with the conductor, Gary Cutt. Lol.
Great!
