Brecon Fringe launches with Melly sculpture fundraiser

The Brecon Fringe festival opens on Thursday 11 August with a concert in aid of the George Melly Sculpture Appeal.

The Jen Wilson Ensemble will play play Twelve Poems, a jazz suite setting the poems of Dylan Thomas to music at Theatr Brycheiniog.

The appeal has already raised £32,000 of the £100,000 needed to pay for a tribute to the late musician who is credited as putting Brecon Jazz on the international map.

The memorial will take the form of three distinctive benches - read more on the
BBC News website.

See the
Brecon Fringe and Brecon Jazz websites for full details of events across the weekend.
