In 2012 , Hazlewood campaigned for the Paraorchestra to be included in the ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London . He felt that their inclusion in this international event would be a unique opportunity for the Paraorchestra and that it could also raise awareness of his cause . The Paraorchestra were ultimately incorporated into the closing ceremony of the Games , where it performed alongside British rock band Coldplay ( accompanying them in a performance of " Strawberry Swing " ) , and played the Paralympic anthem . The Paraorchestra planned to use the exposure it gained through its role at the Paralympics to add more performers , make studio recordings , and tour across Europe
