A celebration of 100 years of Women's Suffrage will be held in Cardiff this weekend, helped by the sound of an all-female brass band.

Musical accompaniment

The 'Processions' event takes place in the heart of the Welsh capital on Sunday June 10th, with Symphonic Brass Wales providing sterling musical accompaniment to both open and close the march through the city.

It will form part of the larger 'Processions' programme that also takes place in Belfast, Edinburgh and London with marchers celebrating the centenary by wearing the colours of the Suffrage Movement — green, white or violet.

Symphonic Brass Wales will perform from two static positions under the baton of Crwbin Band's Jacquie Scaife, at Cardiff City Stadium and Cardiff Castle.

The call is therefore being made to join the band for the occasion.

Join the procession

If you wish to help the celebrations then all you have to do is gather at Cardiff City Football Stadium from 12.00 noon for a briefing and uniform issue ahead of a 2.00pm start.

Following the opening fanfare, the procession will set off (taking approx one hour), during which time the band will relocate to Bute Park ready to greet the marchers with a short performance on arrival at Cardiff Castle.

The event is to be covered by the BBC in what is envisaged will be a celebration that will be remembered for years to come.

The call is open to female brass and percussion musicians from across Wales and beyond to be part of the band.
