Forgive me, because I come from a position of ignorance. Are there any brass bands in the Stoke-on-Trent area? I'd love to know.

Dunno but Brassed Off was a suprisingly good film. That is all!

Brass bands are awesome.
I'm sure there are plenty but the only one I know of is the Audley brass band because they play at the Stoke Beer Festival.

And they wear red/burgundy jackets and play brass instruments meanly! That's all I know really!

Best gigs I've been to are brass bands. The Rotherham Community Brass Band at the Bingley Hall in 1982 was possibly the most awesome show have ever seen.
I suggest some of you check out their stuff rather that Dizzie Jasper or whatever the current fave popster today is called.

Saw them at a combined music concert at Madeley earlier this year....they were excellent much to my surprise because I'd gone there to listen to the singing element of the concert and not to listen to a brass band.

Not quite the same thing but we had a 'swing band' for our apprentices passing out dinner in the RN.
Everyone was slagging the plan to have them performing off beforehand, me included, but they were absolutely superb, truly memorable night.

I've seen a couple of swing bands over the years and I can only echo the sentiment. Must be something about live music
