About this event
Experience beloved British film Brassed Off like never before in this special live-in-concert production, which sees the world-famous Grimethorpe Colliery Band bring to life the poignant and uplifting score alongside a screening of the film. Mark Herman's bittersweet comedy drama, starring Stephen Tompkinson, Ewan McGregor, Tara Fitzgerald and Pete Postlethwaite, was the surprise box-office hit of 1996 and regularly features in lists of the best British films ever made, including the BFl's definitive top 100. It tells the story of Danny, the devoted leader of the Grimley Colliery Band, who is determined to show the Tories 'we are not defeated'. "I'm incredibly proud to have been part of the team that brought Brassed Off to the screen... The chance to hear the Grimethorpe Colliery Band accompanying the film live makes for an unforgettable evening."
