Him and Us, Floral Dance, Brighouse & Rastrick Band

The Scoble sisters (and brother Mike) Lisa and Teri and their Him and Us troupe dance to the Brighouse and Rastrick band's big 70s hit "Floral Dance" on The Arrows Show. Arrows singer Alan Merrill and guitarist Jake Hooker introduce the clip.
The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band was formed in 1881. It is based in Brighouse, in Calderdale in West Yorkshire.
History -
Since January 1995, the band have practised at their purpose-built hall and music library called West Ridings at Brighouse High School on Finkil Street in the north of Brighouse near the A644. The band is not sponsored but relies on public subscriptions and fund raising.

The Floral Dance -
In November 1977, the band reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart with their recording of "The Floral Dance", where they stayed for nine weeks, only surpassed at the time by "Mull of Kintyre" (the first UK single to sell more than 2 million copies, and third best selling UK single of all time). It was arranged for the band by Derek Broadbent. The b-side was a version of Debussy's "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair",although some copies had a composition by Broadbent entitled Bachelor Girls as it's b-side. The corresponding album, The Floral Dance reached to Number 10 in the UK Albums Chart.
