Wonderbrass win Olympic commission
Cardiff-based jazz band Wonderbrass have won a commission to create new music to mark the 2012 London Olympics.
They'll be reunited with musician and composer Jason Yarde of Jazz Jamaica fame for the New Music 20x12 project run by the PRS for Music Foundation.
Wonderbrass are the only representatives from Wales among the twenty organisations selected to offer a snapshot of the quality and diversity of new music in the UK.
Each piece will be broadcast by BBC Radio 3 and tour the UK as part of the Cultural Olympiad in the run up to the 2012 Games.
See the PRS for Music Foundation website for more details.
