Fans of the iconic British film 'Brassed Off!' will next week be able to relive the memories of Grimley Colliery Band's famous National Championship victory.

The 1996 bittersweet comedy drama, written and directed by Mark Herman, stars Pete Postlethwaite as Danny, the devoted leader of the band who is determined to rally against the forces of the National Coal Board and the government of Mrs Thatcher after news is leaked that their pit is earmarked for closure.

The cast also includes Ewan McGregor, Stephen Tompkinson and Tara Fitzgerald as well as quite a few familiar brass band faces in the extras department...
