Cinemoments: Brassed Off

Next up is Martin Grindlay, Finance and Operations Manager, with this beautifully stirring clip from the 1996 bittersweet drama Brassed Off.
In North Yorkshire, a local colliery band led by Danny (Pete Postlethwaite), prepare for the National Brass Band championships, at a time when the pit's miners face redundancy. When the daughter of a former band leader named Gloria (Tara Fitzgerald) arrives, her return to the band raises their spirits, alongside a blossoming relationship with one of the band’s younger members (Ewan McGregor).
With Gloria leading on the flugelhorn, this pivotal scene showcases the band performing Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez. Combining the yearning, pining quality of brass band music with the film’s dry humour, politics and human stories, Brassed Off reminds us that it's the music that matters.

Pete's acting and the music, it's hard to tell who gave the greater performance. There was never a better actor, nor was there ever a better piece of music, just my opinion
