THE British champions of the brass band world will perform at the Garden Rooms at Tennants, Leyburn, next month.

The Grimethorpe Colliery Band is back at the North Yorkshire venue by popular demand on Saturday, September 17 before members go to compete at the Brass in Concert championships at The Sage, Gateshead, in November.

The band is the current British Open Champions, has been crowned National Champion Brass Band of Great Britain four times and has won the Brass In Concert championship title 16 times.

The band also won a BAFTA nomination for the hit movie Brassed Off, in which Grimethorpe was the focal point.
