This is a story of miners who belonged to a band named “Grimley Colliery Band”, in
Yorkshire, England. They faced a crisis of closedown of the coal mine. At that time in
England, many coal mines were closed and a lot of workers lost their jobs. Phil, one of
the miners, lived with his wife and children. They were so poor and his wife said to him
“Quit your band.” But he didn’t want to do that.
A woman, Gloria, moved to this town. She was born in this town so she was coming
back there. She had a flugel horn and she was a player. The landlady said to her “Do not
play it at midnight.” And she said “Why don’t you practice at the Grimley Colliery
Band? Do you know?” Gloria knew about the band.
Then the practice was not good because all of them were worried about whether the
mine would closedown or not. They didn’t feel like playing well. But the conductor
Danny was still enthusiastic about music. Suddenly Gloria came into the practice room.
She said she wanted to play with them. At first Danny refused to let her join but after
he listened to her playing, he allowed her to join. Her playing was great and all the
other players were surprised at her. But in fact Gloria was in the company. That means
she is not on the miners' side. In spite of this fact, she really liked the band, and loved
Andy, one of the players.
Finally the mine was closed and the miners got angry at the company, and Gloria.
She was betrayed by the company. Her boss said that it was decided the mine was
supposed to close 2 years ago. She was disappointed and quit her job. She was so sorry
to the miners.
At that time Danny became ill and went into the hospital. He escaped death. The
band couldn’t continue to play, but they still have the finals. Each player lost their job
as a miner, so it was hard for them to play on the stage again. However Gloria helped
the band and they did play on the finals. And they won!
This story is filled with a lot of love, at the ending. It is a good English movie. And it was
really difficult to catch what they are saying because of British English. I heard “bloody”
so many times in this movie.
