'Willie Eckerslike' I love this spoof, one of my favorite Victoria Wood performances. Trouble is though, when I watch the original 'Brassed Off' I think of this and crack up........
Re the name of the music, I'd love to know - us older 'uns will remember cigarette brands called 'Capstan' and 'Park Drive', think this is what the sketch is referring to
The piece of music was written by Victoria Wood the piece is called Capstan but also Anne Widdecombe. It was a series of theme tunes that ran through the whole Christmas special.
Yes it is--he tutored Victoria when she expressed interest in playing the trumpet again. She received an honorary fellowship from the Royal Academy of Music as he sat proudly watching at the ceremony.
when the light is fading, leave me not bereft
help me still to fettle, and adjust my weft.
Always tears me up.
'No offence love,but can you shove off'......ROFL,just love that line.

I think it was written especially for the sketch; music for the programme is credited to David Firman and Victoria Wood.
But how many of the band are actually playing?
It's Tony from Dinnerladies!!!
Good vid! Was she actually playing that cornet?! :S
Hey up it's Terry Collier !!!
Bugger Blair !!!
Does anyone know the name of the piece the band plays with Victoria Wood? They mention "Capstone" but I can't find find it anywhere.
I'm fairly sure it was written for the sketch, and is therefore called 'Capstan' (named after a brand of cigarette).
Who plays Barry here.
i m not sure , it was a serious issue
his name is philip jackson
AKA as Inspector Japp...in Poirot...
love it. Is that the late James Watson on cornet? Looks like him....I also would be interested to know the name of the piece.....
