I spent the day in Liverpool for the first time in many years and I came home brassed off!
In a good way, of course.
What happened was that I spent an hour or so in the HMV shop in Liverpool where I found and bought the DVD of the fantastic film starring Pete Postlethwaite, Brassed off!
There are two main themes in this film:
- the closure of over 100 coal mines in the UK thanks to Thatcher and Major; and
- the fantastic brass band music played throughout
A good but simple story with some very fine acting and some excellent brass band music, courtesy of the Grimethorpe Colliery Band.
Brassed off and happy.
