Dinnington Colliery Brass Band features in the first programme of a new BBC2 TV series 'A Band for Britain'.

In its heyday Dinnington Colliery Brass Band, like all the colliery bands, was highly popular, and it was hard to win a place in the band.  Sadly times have changed and the band is now struggling to continue.

The BBC2 programme is all about TV presenter Sue Perkins trying to breathe new life into the band, find it new players, train them and get them back on the concert stage where they belong.

Lets hope she succeeds!  Don't miss the programme - its on BBC2 on Monday March 8th at 9pm.
