RIP Pete Postlethwaite (1946-2011) This was one of his best performance.

An absolute legend

I watch this film at least 3-4 times a year. It is one of the best films I have seen because of the political content and the actors playing the instruments is very close to what would happen in a rehearsal. My Favourite part is 'Orange Juice' when it is wobbly!!!!

Rip Pete brilliant role he played in brassed off

Beyond brilliant, the man defined the entire movie with his portrayal. One of the greatest actors I have had the pleasure of watching on screen in on eof his best roles. Not sure how popular this is in England or how well known the movie is (I would assume very well known, someone from England enlighten me on this) , but it seems like here in US not many people know what the hell you are talking about when you mention Brassed Off. Its truly a masterpiece, puzzling why it isnt more widely celebrated.

@@MrQuakeroat Glad to hear that. I think I watched the movie 3 times this past couple of months. Its a superb movie in many ways.

This is an OUTSTANDING film!

A great film. Very touching. I can remember growing up in England with my Welsh coal miner grandfather. Those were the days when the Floral Dance actually made Top of the Pops on TV ("Top 10" for you Americans).

"Those were the days when the Floral Dance actually made Top of the Pops on TV" Yep - performed by the Brighouse* and Rastrick Band, one of Britain's very finest (and they get name-checked a time or two in this movie). * Pronounced "briggus".

One of the best films I have ever seen.

I miss Pete Postlethwaite- a truly great actor!

absolutely LOVE the opening scene Edit: it amazes me phil's trombone never fell apart on the bike ride to practice

Tellement beau de voir cette relation père/fils qui fredonnent ensemble leur toune. J'adore ce film depuis des années.

I've always enjoyed that scene where he rides with his bike, son on the back down to band practice, busy mouth-trumpeting the tune. I regularly do the same on my bicycle, although these days I usually whistle so as not to confuse other cyclists and pedestrians.

"And she calls that wobbly!'. Perfect!

when Melanie Hill turns round and says "Bastard" creases me up every time !!!

brill film shows true spirit of the miners....

and whilst Pete is no longer with us thankfully he stuck around long enough to bring Danny Orlmondroyde to life for us to enjoy......."I used to think that music mattered......but does it buggery!".

Brilliant mix of humour worry hope desperation love humanity fine acting and fine music.

Best British film ever made

I'll just copy Sandra's way of talking to comment this film: Bloody Classic! Bloody Fantastic! Bloody Beautiful! Bloody Moving!... Bloody Great and bloody wonderful!!!! :D

I love this movie.Must have seen it 10 times by now. Thanks for uploading the clip

mon film préféré! Mon petit bout de film préféré...

This formation is almost the same as the 'Broadasting Seating' devised by Denis Wright back in the 1950s. He came to the conclusion after many experiments that this formation sounded better when broadcast on the radio than the traditional one. Details are in the 'Complete Bandmaster' Dr. D. Wright. He was of the opinion that the traditional arrangement was done that way to show off the 4 corner men ie Top Cornet, 1st Euph, 1st Trom and to a lesser extent the Solo Horn.

Bit handy with the crockery your sandra, bloody great !

"Bit clumsy" i think....about 8 years late

They can knock out a bloody good tune.

Many thanks for the playlist! CHEERS!

Melanie Hill was Cathy (Roy's friend) in Corrie.

I was born in Helston Cornwall home of the Fora dance May 8th every year.

its a faster version of the flora day dance. such a good film the best bit is when they are playing in front of the judges they keep having a pint and are getting drunk and giggly.

@MrWalker87 its a film about the 1970s when coal pits were closing down rapidly..and they had a great brass band which is legendry to coal pit towns in the uk!..well we only have one coalpit in whole of uk now,,

Its about the 90s pit closures, the pits were still going strong in the 70s and the miners striking brought about the 3 day week and rolling power cuts. This is set after Thatcher sold all the mines off to private companies like R J Budge

i play in a brass band and we played this tune last year, its easy to play

Know what you mean. I used to have both my grandfather annnnd father in the brass band with me. Grandfather retired, and dad quit...I'm sadly alone now...

bit clumsy with the crockery your Sandra

it's a different variation on the brass band set up, and it is correct. this set up or the other set up that you are familiar with are both equally used just as much. my band plays in that set up as well, however as a euphonium player, i wouldn't mind if we got to sit on the end instead of being hidden away!

@sokki88 I think he means the band has been in going that long,,since the 1818..not with the same guys,,but its a coal board/pit brass band,,thats used to be one of our heritages in the uk,,now we have only one mine open in all of the uk!..thats when the itial band started in 1818 when the coal pit opened

@sokki88 Grimethorpe were the band used in the film but the actual in-film band is Grimley (no idea if that's spelt correctly) Colliery Band, a fictional band for the purpose of the film.

At least it sounds different to the Flora Dance.

Downloaded this film out of nostalgia…wasn’t a miner or had anything to do with the pits ..but a lot of my family and friends did …I watched over a period of time ..those same family and friends slowly destroyed by Thatcher ..the Tory government…and their American hatchet man ..may they all ROT in their hell for what they did …this film is really a tribute to those men who worked who worked long hours in horrific conditions down in the bowels of the earth..I personally think that this film should be compulsory shown in every school once a year Last little note …on the day of basted thatcher’s funeral..a lot of ex-pit villagers and towns throughout the north had street parties to celebrate her funeral… Again I say …ROT IN HELL THATCHER

me too

Well,it is here,When she begins to play Rodrigos Concerto de Aranjuez

Floral dance

Bit cavalier with his trombone, that lad. No real bandsman would carry it around one-handed, without a case, and perched on a bike. No wonder he has trouble keeping it functioning later in the clip.

I think you will find that B+R's signature (theme) tune is a march called West Ridings. Not the Floral Dance

you're welcome :) I want some more comment about this comedy.Its sofun...I play tuba so i like this movie very much :D

@sokki88 we call it Eb Bass actually

In england they call it: EEb tuba in europe and everywere else: Eb :) I shal try to get some records of me with my Eb tuba soon :D

can i ask what any of these comments of the credit crunch have to do with the floral dance ?

It was a wonderful movie highlighting the plight of the miners. Out of interest where were the Actual Musicians hiding during the various scenes as we know not all the cast of the movie were musicians ?

Steinwaygrande they usually played to a recording even the musicians of the grimethorpe colliery band . All the actors had to do was get the breathing and finger work looking right to make it seem like they were playing. I have a video from the TV show film 96 on the making of brassed off that shows this

schwupp ist der Papa mit der Hand wieder da

what about searching for Eflat bass, its the same as tuba but thats what they call it in orchestras, Eflat bass and tuba are the same instrument

Who goes to band practice in their uniform? Its a good film though. Surprisingly true to the ethos of the band movement.

just some clarification... he says 1881... not 1818

3 people are trombones

Well i can try to get some tuba clips if i find someone :)

I don't play tuba, i play cornet - easier to carry :P, still love this tune tune though. I think it's strange how Grimey chosen to play B&R's theme tune.

we all need to get our fingers out of our arse and stop fartarsing about. the government can't do it we have to do it ourselves. bit of old fashioned pride in what you do for a living (whatever it is) and let's get on with it.
