Lovely to welcome @RuthNewportWest MP to our bandroom at the Showfield on Monday!
We returned the favour after our Westminster visit, with a chat about our year and a sneaky preview of our Finals piece for York.
Diolch for your support! 💙🎺 #RoadToYork
🎺 The final piece of the puzzle…
We’re delighted to announce that Sarah Jayne has joined us on Solo Baritone, completing our line-up for the remainder of the year.
Sarah returns to banding after taking a break while family life took priority, and brings with her a wealth of…
….experience at the highest level.
After starting out with Gwent Youth Band and the National Youth Brass Band of Wales, Sarah went on to play with Tredegar, Mid Rhondda, Wingates, Blaenavon, Abertillery and Flixton as well as studying music…
What a weekend!
We’re still smiling after our fantastic result at the @eisteddfod .
Thank you for all the lovely messages. Our biggest thanks go to our players, who delivered a performance we were incredibly proud of!
A perfect way to start our summer break. 🏆🎶
