Synopsis
The British coal mining town of Grimley in the 1990s. The members of the Grimmley Colliery Band, a traditional band made up of coal miners, are so depressed over the closure of the mine that they are unable to practice for the British Brass Band Championships. Amid the dilemma of whether the mine will survive or be shut down, they stake their town and their own pride in competing in the championship, aiming for the Royal Albert Hall, where the final competition will be held.
