Brassed Off is the story of a tiny, Yorkshire mine which is on the brink of closing for good. The only possible chance for the town to survive would be for the town’s men to enter and win a national brass band competition. They decide to do this and form the Grimley Colliery Brass Band. Their beginning rehearsals are flops so they enlist the help of a female Flugelhorn player named Gloria (Tara Fitzgerald) who at first is alienated and chastised for being a woman in an all male bad, but when the men discover that she is their only hope for victory and the town’s survival she is accepted. Gloria at first enjoys the experience, but as rehearsals continue, her relationship with the dashing Andy (Ewan McGregor) is put to the test.
