A very interesting video. Thanks for posting it. In Australia we see all these brass band people and bands as legends. It's like a big fairytale.

Great coverage Mr.Mead many thanks, we need to see more of this. Sad to see so many people no longer with us, Mr Evans, Mr Whitham, The Major and I'm sure many more,... I may of not seen Grimey in 2006, but sure did in 2007. Camera coverage Imagine doing something like that nowadays in 4k !

I was there in Audience,for me Grimethorpe trombones were the best section on the day, just magnificent

[@Threepi80]

15 years in, and Grimethorpe still the best on that day...

Nice to see Martin Armstrong who has played with the BBBC for quite a few years.

An interesting snapshot, already 17 years old at the time of writing. In the modern era of BB contesting where we expect newly commissioned pieces every year it's not surprising, as we see in the film, that some band stalwarts looked down their nose and sniffed at this piece being picked for the National Final thinking it simply an old fashioned outdated arrangement ( apparently suitable for people over 70 according to 4BR ) and not technically challenging enough for the bands. However Frank Renton's opinion early in the film that it would be the band who best interpreted Berlioz ( via Frank Wright ) who would win was spot on: because Grimethorpe's performance did just that.
