The Durham BRASS Festival is hosting a very special airing of the iconic film 'Brassed Off!' this Saturday (15th July).

Play along

The one off 'Brassed Off Play Along' will take place at the Gala Theatre in Durham when brass players can bring along their instruments to rehearse and play along with the BAFTA nominated music in the company of professional brass players and characters Andy Barrow (Ewan McGregor) and Gloria Mullens (Tara Fitzgerald) on screen.

There will be a rehearsal at 11.00am to ensure all the technical aspects of the event are put in place with those wishing to take part, before it curtains up at 3.00pm for the interactive performance!
