EspañolGRIMETHORPE COLLIERY BAND
The 'Grimethorpe Colliery Band' is a brass band, based in Grimethorpe, South Yorkshire, England, that was formed in 1917 as a leisure activity for the workers at the colliery.
International fame came with the film ''Brassed Off'', the plot of which was based on Grimethorpe's struggles against pit closures, and whose soundtrack was recorded by the band. The band also performed Ron Goodwin's film score for the 1976 Disney film ''Escape from the Dark'' (also called the ''Littlest Horse Thieves''), with the composer conducting.
