A unique Brass film score
The key reason that the Brass In The Blood film project arose was down to composer Adam Shilton's desire to score exclusively for Brass. He has already achieved success with Through The Pink Mist (reported HERE on the 4BarsRest website), but the challenge to score for a 90-minute movie was too much to resist.

Brass In The Blood film
Brass In The Blood is a movie set in Elworth, Cheshire, currently in pre-production and due for release in mid-2015.
The project came about when Adam Shilton challenged Jules Hornbrook to write a film script telling the story of a world famous Brass Band. Jules had written a few local (Cheshire) books but knew little about Brass, while Adam knew little of writing but was midway through a Music PhD and had already composed a published Brass piece.
Brass In The Blood will be a feel-good movie, filmed in and around Cheshire, using local people and organisations, introducing many new people to the wonderful, passionate world of Brass and do the amazing Brass Band scene full justice. Oh, and narrator Harry Stone... will he get the girl?

Get involved
The Brass In The Blood production team WILL need actors, extras, technicians, runners, sound/lighting engineers and general assistants. For now, the bulk of the "Brass" soundtrack will come from an existing top UK Brass Band but we will keep this site updated as and when further opportunities arise, especially people to represent musicians from other eras.
From day one we have hoped to involve as many Cheshire-based people and organisations as possible, utilising the vast resources and talent on offer at local universities, colleges and schools. All of these organisations will be approached during early 2013, plus details of a presentation outlining the project aims, targets, dates etc will be held some time in March 2013 at a venue to be announced.
