TALENTED Swindon musicians Old Colours have played one of the most important gigs of their career in front of a global audience in the Olympic Park during London's Olympic Games. The band were chosen by online music community Unsigned Band Review to perform on a specially constructed stage in the Olympic Park as part of the Olympics and also the Paralympics, which starts in August 30.

This initiative forms part of an entertainment programme which spans all four zones of the Olympic Park featuring a range of talent and London 2012 projects.

It aims to create a once in a lifetime experience for visitors and bring the magic of the Games to the green spaces and concourses in the park.

Emerging Icons is an innovative online platform created to enable fans to unearth the best in new UK musical talent stemming from the new music community Unsigned Band Review.

Since launching in 2008 the initiative has gone from strength to strength and attracted more than 13,000 musicians to sign up.
