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.

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.

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!

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.

@philipslater4142 11 жыл бұрын

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.
