==Production== The film is set in "Grimley" in the mid-1990s, which is a thin veil for [[Grimethorpe]], a mining village in [[South Yorkshire]] which had been named as the poorest village in Britain in 1994 by the [[European Union]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Karen |last=McVeigh |title=Grimethorpe, the mining village that hit rock bottom β then bounced back |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/03/grimethorpe-hit-rock-bottom-then-bounced-back |date=3 March 2015 |work=The Guardian |access-date=10 December 2018}}</ref> The nearby areas of the [[Dearne Valley]] and the [[Hemsworth]] area were also identified as in need of serious aid. The hospital scene, with Pete Postlethwaite in bed, was filmed at [[Doncaster College]], not a hospital. The festival scene in [[Delph]] was filmed on Monday 23 October 1995.<ref>''Oldham Advertiser'' Thursday 26 October 1995, page 7</ref> The soundtrack for the film was recorded by the [[Grimethorpe Colliery Band]], the story roughly reflects Grimethorpe Colliery Band's history, and the film was largely shot in Grimethorpe.<ref name =locations>{{Citation | contribution-url = http://www.ukonscreen.com/ffigccb-Brassed-Off-(1996).html | title = UK on screen | contribution = ''Brassed Off'' filming locations}}.</ref>
