Brunel Brass will travel to Aardman Studios in Bristol the home of the famous duo for filming later this month.

Brunel celebrate their third year of existence in December and are delighted to have been asked by the BBC, especially as there are a host of young (and old) fans of the plasticine celebrities in the band.
