4BR Quiz: Brass for Velindre

With the two Welsh banding giants joining forces for a special concert on the weekend there is still one trophy they haven’t won....

Trophies
 

The world’s number 1 & 2 ranked bands will join forces in concert in Cardiff next Sunday (22nd June) to help the wonderful work of Velindre Cancer Care.

Trophy

All you have to do to win a great goodie bag full of the latest CDs and bits and bobs from Cory and Tredegar is to name the current holders of the one trophy displayed here in this picture not won by either of them in 2013...

To give you a clue — the picture was taken at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff a few months ago with the big silver chalice protected by two burly prop forwards with posh Twickenham accents....

All correct entries will go into a hat and one lucky winner will be picked out.

Concert tickets

For further details and a chance to get your hands on the remaining few tickets for the event on Sunday 22nd June at 2.00pm, go to: http:/¬/¬www.rwcmd.ac.uk/¬whats_on/¬events/-brass_for_velindre.aspx

Last winner:

Adam Gregory, the bass trombone player from the Friary Guildford Band was the lucky winner of the last quiz.
