One Big Blow

Just come back from the theatre dahling. Well actually the auditorium at the Crowne Plaza. It's quite a bit like a theatre. The show was 'One Big Blow', brought to these shores by Phil Duquenoy's Streetwise Fringe Theatre Co.

It was a really enjoyable gig. It revolves around five blokes pretending to be coal miners in Yorkshire in 1980, and of course they play in a brass band. There's lots of a capella singing, lots of physicality, and lots of fun. The original cast of this show went on to become the group The Flying Pickets, and the plot of it was developed as the screenplay for the film 'Brassed Off'.
