Sheffield favourite Unite the Union Brass Band return to Showroom Cinema to present a special festive performance of Christmas classic The Snowman with a live score. The Snowman was first shown in the UK on 26 December 1982 and has since been shown every year on Channel 4 and has delighted audiences across the world.
In keeping with the book, the film of The Snowman is wordless and free of dialogue, except for the now iconic, “Walking in the Air” which features as part of a now timeless musical score composed by Howard Blake.
The film’s score will be performed live by Unite the Union Brass Band, who have been performing since 1900 and Showroom audiences may know them best from their appearance in The Full Monty, or their spectacular live performance of Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers.
The Snowman will be preceded by a short concert of festive songs performed live.
