As a euphonium player this movie really hit close to home on the references made to everyone calling it a trumpet and the annoyance portrayed in response. Although I’m used to being called a baby tuba which is even more insulting! This movie really hits close to home as an American. Especially as a euphonium player. The only place we are taken seriously is the brass band. This was a damn good movie!
A great movie, presenting history, human fate and all this wonderful music. These hardworking coal miners on the edge of starvation play like any master class - just brilliant. I watched the movie on DVD with my sons last year and got the soundtrack CD for my car radio. 😊
From the lone ranger just image what a practice is before a real live concert you should be proud and amazed just love classic music job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
but man what an entertainer!!!! ! a band with a top conductor leading them beyond themselves to play more then the notes great ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ ♫♪ ♫♪great sound! ♫♪♫♪ ☺ ♥ ♫♪☺♫♪ great ♫♪♫♪☺ BRAVISSIMO @bisbis 🎶🎵🎼 great music! a well tuned ensemble that sounds like an organ ! Fabulous banding
This portion of the film always brings tears to my eyes. Brave British people speaking out against their government with music. I wish Danny's speech had been included.
@@stevetaylor7403 Absolutely right. It's ironic that if the Government tried to bring back coal mining they'd now face violence from those opposed to it. As for the 'brave British people speaking out against their government', it was a minority of extremely violent left-wing thugs (violence including murder) attempting to overthrow a democratically government that had the full support of the the majority of the nation at the time.
Ovations to the British Brass Bands. And at the same a tribute to the mining industry. During this time the same thing happened in the States with the same kind of Administration and decimated the middle class and it has never recovered since.
A superb performance by Grimethorpe - if Carling made colliery bands...The cornet solo was masterful. A couple of years ago a stage version of 'Brassed Off' went on tour and here in Cheltenham the band was Bristol's Flowers Band. Their performance reflected their status as British Champions. Andy Smith on cornet. As good as this clip from the film.
Let's stop and honor and appreciate this masterpiece of music from the William tell overture the musicians deserve a lot of credit great job and outstanding performance classic music at its very best one of the best and favorite ever god bless you guys thanks you guys rock thanks ! Joe
Excellent and outstanding performance I get thrills and chills to listening to a real masterpiece of music even rossini would be proud appreciate you guys thanks job well done you should be proud just image what a practice is before a real live concert you guys rock appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
One of the best movies I have seen in many a year. Remember when it came out and saw it three or four times. The lass who ;played the cornet I saw in a recent BBC produciton of Spooks - and she is still as beautiful as ever
What a bitter sweet moving tribute to the Brass Bands of Britain but also a tribute to the miners who lost their jobs by the tens of thousands and effected the towns throughout the United Kingdom.
I know it's just a movie and the guy playing the conductor probably knows about as much about music as my cat, but I love the job he did. To me it seems like he was "driving" the band more than leading it. He worked very hard to realitically show what it's like in the orchestra pit.
Other than the fact that this is a great performance and a very entertaining clip from a film, it appeals to me since my mother's family all left Wales(Merthyr Tydfil) in the mid 19th century and came to the US. That alone adds enormously to the appeal of this for me.
Civic theatre Halifax. I watched them filming at the Piece Hall Halifax and was asked to be in the crowd I said no. I met Pete outside the Piece Hall having a smoke. Brilliant film.
Just a real masterpiece job well done you should be proud and amazed one of my favorite pieces of music to listen to or watch on TV or my cell phone just image what a practice is before a real live concert appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
Full Monty got all the plaudits whilst this was a little overlooked at the time. Surely this can now be viewed as a wonderfully more warm and realistic view of the genre.
One of my favorite songs to listen to or watch on TV or my cell phone William tell overture would be proud appreciate you guys thanks job well done you should be proud and amazed just image what a practice is before a real live concert you guys rock thanks ! Joe
This is superb! Probably the best recording out there! After hearing this, the cornet solo at 1:12 became my favorite part. In every other recording, the solo was extremely underwhelming. Here, it's brought out and played so clearly. I also am very much amused by Harry's conducting style. He was by all means taught well :) All the compliments aside, one thing that bugged me was Tara Fitzgerald's acting when she played the flugelhorn. It reminds me of one of Danny's quotes earlier in the movie: "That girl blows flugel like a dream." (Referring to Gloria, played by Fitzgerald) Well, if you dream about a girl who can't play flugel, then you're definitely right.

The wonderful, wonderful Pete Postlethwaite, God bless him.................. what an actor, what a film! ❤❤
What a bloody fantastic movie!!
with a posthumous tribute to Pete Postlewaite, he will live on as a great actor.
Great picture,
a fan from Holland.
One of the greatest movies ever. I saw it 15 years ago and still feel the same emotion.❤❤❤
I’ve watched this 15 plus times and still get tears

And the ‘trumpets’ were cornets
One of the best films ever made, it deserves recognition. So does Grimethorpe Colliery Band.
Pete Posthelwaite should have received the Academy Award for his part. Great actors sometimes get neglected and overlooked by the Academy.
EH UPP LAD !
@@jpathak6227 other ur ur ur ur ur u ur thrututut r ur ututuiul ppl
And that people is THE best version of that epic tune that you will find anywhere.
The best, bar none. ❤
Bravo !!!! The Grimethorpe Colliery band !!! Bravooooooooo !!!
Whatever would humankind be without music of this tradition? It makes us better, gives
dignity to our sometimes afflicted lives.
Which is why mis’lums wont allow music, srt, or besuty
I'm a hard Rock music fan and I absolutely love this brass overture.
The man who has the solo, at 1:12 , conducted at a concert band I used to play in! His name is Shaun Randall.
I have never tired of watching the final scene of this movie. Absolutely brilliant.
yorkshire at its best our bands very rarely get beaten and long live the miners
the conductor is awesome
hell i get chills everytime i hear this great piece of music, brass at its best and i love the way its conducted
Yes its always great when you can import an actual Brass band from Germany!!!!!!
@@Arcusinoz ??
WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC AND EVERYDAY PEOPLE WERE MUSICIANS .
I’ve listened to this song many many times and I love it so much. I’m a baritone player and love what they do with this!!
Cracking piece and brilliant acting through the film. Very poignant film - they don't make em like this now!
Another great actor dies prematurely.
Left some good memories though!
Pete Postlethwaite. R.I.P.
RIP Pete xx great actor brilliant films
OMG THIS IS GREAT MUSIC.....
The brass bands start to play and I start to cry. Whatever they play touches my heart and I just sob. Always been the same even as a young child.
great movie...great music...sad times.
Carson a man of many trades. Butler and conductor.
A great movie, presenting history, human fate and all this wonderful music. These hardworking coal miners on the edge of starvation play like any master class - just brilliant. I watched the movie on DVD with my sons last year and got the soundtrack CD for my car radio. 😊
Goosebumps everytime.
Superb conducting.
As good as it gets.
God I love this song!
Very passionate 👏 👌 Trubutes to British Brass Bands.

With music. And petrol bombs, half-Charlie’s (bricks), railway sleeper bolts. And the rest.

It was included. My DVD has it. He rejected the trophy, and ended with " what the fkuc does it matter". Now I'll take my boys out on the town.
@@44oblong One person's thug is another person's hero. ;) Kind of like our "mostly peaceful" protests that included burning buildings.
There is a restaurant in Ocean City MD that plays this beautifully piece every night at sunset. Never get tired of hearing it.
I love that they play cornets, not trumpets. I love that sweet sound!
What a wonderful movie , what a brilliant performance, perfection !
James Shepherd is awesome, as are the rest of the band especially given what all miners went through in the 80s

Ah, Mr. Carson was a conductor before becoming the butler at Downton...
One of the best movies I have seen in many a year. Remember when it came out and saw it three or four times. The lass who ;played the cornet I saw in a recent BBC produciton of Spooks - and she is still as beautiful as ever
It's a bloody flugelhorn...
MrIntellijent
thx mate u made my day :) even if u posted it 2 months ago ^^
Still a good movie on video or DVD.
What a bitter sweet moving tribute to the Brass Bands of Britain but also a tribute to the miners who lost their jobs by the tens of thousands and effected the towns throughout the United Kingdom.
It was about half a million jobs
RIP Pete. Legend
As a WEST RIDDING MAN, NOT A BAD BLOW LADS.
What a film,never get bored of watching it,
Great music. Inspiring! Thrilling! Breathtaking it HAS to have a 'Hi-yo Silver!!! AWAAAYYYY!!!"
I know it's just a movie and the guy playing the conductor probably knows about as much about music as my cat, but I love the job he did. To me it seems like he was "driving" the band more than leading it. He worked very hard to realitically show what it's like in the orchestra pit.
He’s also a very good butler.

Absolutely brill !
The basses are wicked
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Wow, I'm speechless!
Fantastic. Simply fantastic.
As a proud Scot I love pipe bands , but there is nothing quite like a brass band in full flow , specially if its a colliery band
Love this scene!
music to get the students up next door,that will teach them to have a party
Full Monty got all the plaudits whilst this was a little overlooked at the time. Surely this can now be viewed as a wonderfully more warm and realistic view of the genre.

"Keyboard warriors"....LOL very good observation...my compliments.
I love the trumpet solo part
Isn't that the man who played Carson The Butler on Downton Abbey conducting the orchestra?

Jams & Bros [DEFUNCT] I did wonder did Jim carter , who plays Harry , get any training in conducting the band or did he just busk it
It's soi f'ing awesome.
Lindo arrazou....
