I played in several local brass bands in the mid-sixties while on duty in Scotland with the US Navy. The movie 'Brassed Off' takes place in the early eighties but I thought it was fairly 'true to form', as folks in the the UK take their brass bands, their labor professions, and their drink very seriously. True, the movie has some pretty hokey parts and the acting isn't the greatest... but the story line and music is right on. By the way, 'Brassed Off' is English slang for 'Pixxed Off'. The movie really reminded me of some of my days in Scotland. One think thought... I never understand their calling an Eb alto (peck horn) a trumpet!
