Set in a coal mining village in the 1980s, One Big Blow portrays the two sides of the miners' lives – the tough conditions under which they work and the effect this has on their health, and their escape from this when they play in the colliery brass band.

However even this escape is tainted when Wally, the lead cornet player, begins to suffer from Black Lung disease and can play no more. Now the search is on to find a replacement.

One Big Blow features original music by Rick Lloyd, all sung a capella.
