  • Film, Television and Video Productions Featuring Brass Bands
    Film, Television and Video productions featuring brass bands Gavin Holman, October 2019 Over the years the brass bands in the UK, and elsewhere, have appeared numerous times on screen, whether in feature films or on television programmes. In most cases they are small appearances fulfilling the role of a “local” band in the background or supporting a musical event in the plot of the drama. At other times band have a more central role in the production, featuring in a documentary or being a major part of the activity (e.g. Brassed Off, or the few situation comedies with bands as their main topic). Bands have been used to provide music in various long-running television programmes, an example is the 40 or more appearances of Chalk Farm Salvation Army Band on the Christmas Blue Peter shows on BBC1. Bands have taken part in game shows, provided the backdrop for and focus of various commercial advertisements, played bands of the past in historical dramas, and more. This listing of 450 entries is a second attempt to document these appearances on the large and small screen – an original list had been part of the original Brass Band Bibliography in the IBEW, but was dropped in the early 2000s. Some overseas bands are included. Where the details of the broadcast can be determined (or remembered) these have been listed, but in some cases all that is known is that a particular band appeared on a certain show at some point in time - a little vague to say the least, but I hope that we can add detail in future as more information comes to light.

  • Musical Athleticism: Victorian Brass Band Contests and the Shaping of Working-Class Men Denise Odello
    University of Minnesota Morris Digital Well University of Minnesota Morris Digital Well Music Publications Faculty and Staff choS larship 2-12-2016 Musical Athleticism: Victorian Brass Band Contests and the Shaping of Working-Class Men Denise Odello Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/music Part of the Other History Commons, and the Other Music Commons Musical Athleticism: Victorian Brass Band Contests and the Shaping of Working-Class Men Denise Odello Department of Music, University of Minnesota, Morris In June of 1884, Brass Band News, published an anecdote about an apparent lack of drinking of a small village in Dorset. When the musical rector of the village noted that he “hadn’t a drunken man in the village,” the author responded by questioning how such a feat was possible. He asked, “Have you no public-house, and is all the village tee- total?” The musical rector answered: “Teetotal! [N]o, not at all; I have a band and choral society, and the members are too busy practicing to find time for immoderate drinking, and the village generally is musical, consequently music, as a means of relaxation and recreation, carries the day.” The Dorset rector’s faith represents the broader assumption of Victorians that music, in this case both instrumental and vocal ensembles, was not only an outlet for recreation but also an agent of morality, “the true end and aim of music” (2). The British brass band of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is a particularly notable example of music as a morally edifying activity, as referenced in the anecdote above.

Born in 1944 in the West Midlands town of Wolverhampton, Gerry designed the initial lighting and sound systems for the Octagon Theatre from the outset of its planning in 1965 whilst still a student at Loughborough Teacher Training College. When the Octagon Theatre was completed and opened remarkably quickly, within two years, Gerry moved to Bolton and from 1967 through to 1969 he was the theatre’s first ever electrician. By that time, Gerry had decided that Bolton would be his permanent home for the rest of his life, but sought a fresh challenge in the town as a young man still only in his mid-twenties. By 1982, Gerry had started his own highly successful business in Bolton, GN Systems Ltd., which he ran for over thirty years until retiring in November 2013. Gerry is very proud, honoured and delighted to be the President of Eagley Band and also a Trustee of the band. A WARM WELCOME TO EAGLEY BAND Eagley Band was formed way back in the winter of 1850, initially as the Eagley Sunday School Band attached to the local Eagley Mills, a group of textile mills situated to the north of Bolton town centre off the main road towards Blackburn.

The result is Dynasty, which takes the form of a Symphonic Poem, a musical form Frst introduced to a contest audience at the Crystal Palace in 1913 by Percy Fletcher in his work Labour and Love.
