<< Just on the hunt for some information really - my father is
 master of ceremonies for a forthcoming concert on Friday night (18th
 Dec) and one of the pieces being played is - surprise surprise - "Death
 Or Glory". Apart from knowing that it was written by R.B.Hall and is of
 course the opening to "Brassed Off" (and it appears on a couple of
 Grimethorpe CD's) I know little else. 

 Can anyone out there shed a little more light on the subject - >>


      R.D. Hall was a contemporary of J.P. Sousa and a fine cornet player in
his day. He was called on to rebuild a National Guard band and wrote this
march in their honor. Apparently he was a fine bandmaster as well.
