Grimethorpe enjoying the WACA

The Grimey lads are enjoying themselves in Oz — and even celebrating with a bit of bat and ball at the WACA...

Grimey
 

Grimethorpe Colliery Band is currently in Australia – and enjoying themselves as they pack in the crowds to hear them play.

First part of tour

The first part of the tour in Western Australia saw the band perform in concert to an audience of 1,700 people in Perth, although the lads still had a bit of free time to take in the sights and tastes of the area – including a visit to the famous WACA cricket ground.
