Brassed Off is a 1996 British film about the troubles faced by a colliery brass band, following the closue of their pit.

 

The soundtrack for the film was provided by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, and the plot is based on Grimethorpe's own struggles against pit closures.

 

The film is set in "Grimley" in the mid-1990s (a thinly disguised version of the South Yorkshire villag of Grimethorpe) and much of the film was shot in Grimethorpe.

 

The Grimley Colliery Band in the film is made up of a mixture of actors and members of the Grimethorpe Colliery Band.

 

At one point in the film, a woman called Gloria returns to her hometown of Grimley after several years away. She turns up at band practice with her flugel horn and plays a piece called  "Concierto de Aranjuez", which gets translated, and is now in concerts often introduced as "Concerto d'Orange Juice"!
