Theatre appeal for players to take part in Brassed Off

The Edinburgh People's Theatre is appealing for brass players for its next show, Brassed Off.

The organisation, which is celebrating its 80th year of treading the boards, is urgently looking for brass musicians to perform in the production as members of the fictional Grimley Colliery Band.

The show will take to the stage on 15-18 March at the Church Hill Theatre in Edinburgh, and the theatre group needs at least 12 players to take part (with a variety of brass instruments).

An Edinburgh People’s Theatre spokesperson said: “We are aware that many brass players in Scotland will be involved in the Scottish Championships in March so would unfortunately be unavailable for the show, but we would be very grateful if any players who aren’t competing could help us out.”

You can message the theatre on its Facebook page if you would like to take part.
