An ensemble from Tredegar Band will be featured on the BBC Radio 3 flagship arts programme, 'In Tune' on Bank Holiday Monday — live from the influential Hay Festival.
Presenter Sean Rafferty will feature the ensemble in interviews and performance alongside Tracy Chevalier, author of 'Girl With a Pearl Earring', the illustrator and Children's Laureate, Chris Riddell, Welsh storyteller Daniel Morden, violinist Rachel Podge and the folk group Faustus.
Artistic respect
MD Ian Porthouse said: "This is another indication of the artistic respect the band has gained over recent years with the innovative projects we've been involved with.
The Hay Festival is a renowned worldwide so to be asked to be part of Radio 3's coverage will provide us with a great spotlight."
