A Tyne Valley Film Festival screening. See our full programme here:

Join us at our Tyne Valley Film Festival opening night party to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Mark Herman’s award-winning comedy, starring Ewan McGregor, Pete Postlethwaite and Tara Fitzgerald, filmed entirely on location in Yorkshire.

The Grimley Colliery Brass Band are local heroes of their small town, led by retired miner Danny. As the band prepare for national competition the local coal mine is threatened with closure and Danny has trouble maintaining the morale of the musicians. But he believes they have what it takes to win and restore pride back to their community.
