  • 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.

  • I Am Writing to You to Express My Deep Concern About the Recent
    I am writing to you to express my deep concern about the recent news from the BBC that they have applied to OFCOM to ask if they can reduce news output on the CBBC channel – by axing the main afternoon edition of the much loved Newsround. I am appalled that the BBC would even think this is a good decision. As far as i understand, they say that less children are watching Newsround and more are getting their news online, from the Newsround website and other sources. I cannot understand this reasoning. This is same reasoning they applied to the removal of BBC3 as linear service – and we all know that the end result of that was the BBC reached even less young people. To say more children are watching things online is a cop out. Why are children spending more time watching online? The answer is because they are poorly catered for by linear services. Don’t children spend enough time online as it is? Do we really want to encourage them to spend more time online? Newsround has been a fixture in the CBBC schedule for over 40 years. Surely, this is what the BBC should be spending their money on – a daily news programme for children aged 7- 15. CBBC broadcasts for 14 hours a day- is it really too much to ask that they provide 7 minutes of news in the afternoon / evening? The CBBC channel narrowed its focus to 7-12 year olds in 2013. Some of the continuity presenters can hardly string a legible sentence together and others would be more suited to Cbeebies.

    For many centuries, natives of South America have made offerings to Mama Coca, the Goddess of the coca plant in exchange for a good harvest. Today, local consumers regularly make large offerings of cash to a less traditional deity called ‘Papa Dealer’. or many centuries, natives of South America have used the leaves of the coca plant as a medicine, a food, and an all-purpose means of getting through the day. Rich in thiamine, riboflavin and vitamin coca leaves are believed to tone the muscles, aid concentration, breathing in the mountainous regions, and exertion in the heavy labour of the Andean tin mines. Mama Coca is the Goddess of the Coca Plant, and South Americans still make offerings of coca leaves to Mama Coca, in exchange for a good harvest. Cocaine hydrochloride is a white crystalline powder, derived from the coca plant, and today, local consumers regularly make large offers of cash to a less traditional deity called ‘Papa Dealer’, in exchange for a bag of said product. Unlike coca leaves, cocaine hydrochloride has no known nutritional value whatsoever. why do people take ocaine? For the same reasons that people take any drug. It’s exciting, it’s sexy, it’s enjoyable and it’s slightly dangerous. For a while, at least. The primary effect is an overwhelming sense of confidence and well being. Think of James Cagney on top of that gas tank, wasting coppers left and right. ‘Top of the world, ma!’ Who on earth doesn’t want to feel absolutely certain that, as long as the coke lasts, they’re wittier, smarter and cooler than anyone else? There’s an important caveat here though.
