It is 1992. Grimley Colliery faces the threat of closure and the future of the brass band seems uncertain. With the miners torn between redundancy packages and the picket lines, band–leader Danny’s hopes of winning the national brass band competition seem like a distant dream. But the arrival of flugelhorn–playing Gloria brings hope, romance and controversy to the Yorkshire brass band on the brink of collapse.
Featuring rousing live music, Brassed Off is a funny and heart–warming drama that reaches stirring heights as Newstead Brass Band performs the final scene, set in the Royal Albert Hall, live on the stage of the Lyceum Theatre.
Eview has two tickets to give away for the performance of Brassed Off at the Lyceum Theatre on Saturday 10 May at 7.45pm.
