Synopsis
This engaging documentary series goes behind-the-scenes of a real brass band from a former mining community based in the north of England.
Founded in 1898, The Desford Colliery Band is one of the worlds finest. Unfortunately, despite the band’s status, keeping the show on the road, budgets balanced and the army of musicians and instruments together is a logistical nightmare that keeps manager Peter Smith working 24/7. Great characters, compelling narrative and wonderful performances by this unique ensemble make this series a treat from start to finish.
