Wonderbrass and Cardiff Carnival
Items in this story:
Wonderbrass and Cardiff Carnival have been interlinked since the early 1990's.
This collection shows photos of the Wonderbrass at the carnival in the early years and up until the final Cardiff Carnival in 2015.
In the early days as "Cardiff Workshop Band" - wearing orange t-shirts - a mix of band members and community musicians coming together under the direction of Rob Smith, Jess Philips and Claude Deppa.
Wonderbrass and SWICA worked together in the early 2000's to celebrate the redevelopment of Cardiff Docks, seen in the photographs of staged performances in the oval basin where the building of the Wales Millennium Centre can be seen behind.
The relationship with SWICA Carnival was reignited in 2009 when Wonderbrass saxophonist and secretary (now Chair), Jenny Bradley, joined Cardiff Carnival for a costume making course, then going on to become Administrator for the Carnival from 2010 to 2015
