Winner

Our winner of the latest trio of CDs in homage of the Welsh football team's success at Euro 2016, was Martin Wally, who lives in the Black Forest area of Germany.

The answer was 'Five Blooms in a Welsh Garden'.

'The Year of the Dragon' has been used by a number of different bands as their own-choice selection at the European Championships over the years, whilst 'Owain Glyndwr' was used by Tredegar Band as their own-choice selection at the first European in London in 1978.

'Five Blooms' has only ever been used as a set-work — in Cardiff in 1992.

A keen trumpet player, Martin told 4BR that although there isn't a brass band in his town of Eutingen he does follow 4BR every day and came to the European Championship in Freiburg last year and hopes to come to the Royal Albert Hall in October for the National Finals.

He is also a keen football fan — although he didn't want to rub things in at the moment....
