BTM set to help the Welsh cause

BTM are set to bring their brand of musical help to the Welsh rugby cause.

BTM
 

The BTM Band will be providing the pre-match entertainment, as well as playing the anthems for two of the forthcoming Invesco Perpetual Autumn Internationals at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, as they try and give Wales a musical boost in their Autumn international series.

Invitation

The band will feature alongside the Treorchy Male Choir, 'Ar Ol Tri, Cor Meibion Taf' before and during the Wales versus Samoa and Wales versus Argentina matches at the invitation of the Welsh Rugby Union Musical Director, Dr Haydn James.

BTM have entertained the crowds in the stadium for past international and Heineken Cup matches.

I am very exited to showcase the band on an international stage at one of the best rugby stadiums in the worldMD, Tom Davoren

Band in the Stand

Formerly the WRU’s official 'Band in the Stand', this autumn will see the band return once again.

Musical Director Tom Davoren told 4BR: "I am very exited to showcase the band on an international stage at one of the best rugby stadiums in the world."
