Pete Postlethwaite, Ewan McGregor and Tara Fitzgerald star in a comedy drama about a brass band.

North Yorkshire, 1992 and a local colliery band, led by Danny (Pete Postlethwaite), prepare for a national competition, despite the fact they are faced with redundancy if their pit closes.

Gloria (Tara Fitzgerald), the daughter of a former band leader, returns to the band and raises their spirits, beginning a relationship with one of their younger members (Ewan McGregor) in this highly rated Film4 production.
