  • 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.

  • Consultation Response Form
    SFP 19 Sub Committees on The Smoke-free Premises etc. (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 Response from the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation Dear Sir /Madam, The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only UK charity dedicated to lung cancer, as such we fundraise and support research to give help and hope to those suffering from lung cancer. We also deliver stop smoking services in Liverpool and Knowsley and campaign for public health measures to protect the public against the impact of tobacco. We are opposed to any exemption to the smoking legislation. 1. Wales‟s smoke-free premises legislation is one of the most successful public health measures introduced in Wales All workers in Wales should be protected under the law. Not only will an exemption undermine the Welsh Government‟s other tobacco control initiatives, it will open the door to future challenges to the legislation from other industries who deem the law to be affecting their profits. 2. An exemption is not necessary: The argument is simple: why do we need to change the law when we can use fakes? We do not expect actors to inject heroin or have their appendix out – they should not be expected to smoke. There are special effects companies in Wales already providing the technology to simulate smoking easily and effectively if it is necessary, as in the BBC‟s Upstairs Downstairs series. 3. The „economic‟ argument is not a valid one Wales does not, and should not need to offer smoking to be a competitive location for filming. Productions have moved from England to Wales when there was no exemption and Wales has already proved itself an attractive location for major films.

DB: Of course I am, depending on what you ask me but so far I am happy to sign it. SB: OK. First of all perhaps you could tell me a little bit about your background; where you were born? DB: Well, I never give a straight answer to that because it’s a bit complicated. It’s a bit like asking somebody, “Where were you born?” and they say in “China” because their parents happened to be in China at the moment and as a baby they were brought over and for the rest of their lives they have to say they were born in China and they say, “Oh, you’re Chinese”. “No, I’m not!” So I have to tell you that my Grandparents, my father’s parents, were from Poland and my mother’s parents from Russia and my father was born in a country between Austria and Czechoslovakia, which doesn’t exist anymore.

  • Gb 1456 Thomas
    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.

    New issues and age-old challenges: a review of young people’s relationship with tobacco A report by Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation February 2017 New issues Contents and age-old challenges: a review of young people’s relationship with tobacco 3 Foreword A report by 4 Executive summary Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation 5 A roadmap for action February 2017 6 A new reality for tobacco and young people 10 Shifting issues in youth smoking 14 Tobacco-related health inequalities 18 Tobacco prevention and public health commissioning 2016/17 – The Survey 22 Youth smoking: from challenge to opportunity – Conclusions 24 References roycastle.org/youth Foreword Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation has been involved in challenging tobacco consumption since we started as a charity in 1990. This has been driven by the knowledge that exposure to smoke is linked to 85 per cent of lung cancers in the UK. By sharing with young people the true impact of tobacco, we hope to prevent a future generation suffering the economic, social and health damage caused by this addiction. Over the years we have tackled tobacco on many levels. The work Paula Chadwick of our first Lung Cancer Nurses included going into schools and Chief Executive, RCLCF raising awareness. Our smoking cessation services, Quit Support, assisted young people, including young pregnant women, to give up tobacco. We campaigned for, and supported, the development of smoke-free legislation in the UK. In 2015 we merged with the innovative charity Cut Films which provides a creative and empowering way of engaging young people in understanding the long-term harms of tobacco.
