Wonderbrass mark birthday with Olympic commission

Funky jazz band Wonderbrass are gearing up for London 2012 with performances of a specially commissioned piece of music to mark the Olympic Games.

With a new tune called Skip, Dash, Flow, they're the only Welsh act of the twenty taking part in New Music 20×12, a UK wide initiative to mark the games.


It'll be unveiled at The Globe, Albany Road, Cardiff, on Tuesday 21 February, ahead of the main performance at London's Southbank Centre in July.
