LATEST NEWS
New Conductor
The band is really please to announce that we have a new conductor - Geraint Barnes is joining us as we get back to playing and we are really looking forward to working with him and making some great music with some exiting ideas for the future of the band. We'd also like to thank Geraint Hilbourne for all his work with the band over the past couple of years and for many years previously. He's stepping back due to work commitments but will still be making a guest appearance on trombone from time to time.
Rehearsals
And we are back. Really happy to say that rehearsals will re-commence on Monday 27 September 2021, 8-9.30pm. A full risk assessment has been completed to make rehearsals as safe as we can. See you there!!!
Concert with Insole Court Community Choir 11th April
The band enjoyed a fantastic concert with the choir raising lots of money for Prostate Cancer UK. Our musicals themed programme went down a storm and it was great to have Geraint Hilbourne back at the helm. We're looking forward to developing our summer programme over the next few weeks.
Christmas carol service 2018
The band enjoyed another Christmas carol service at St Albans Church in Splott on 10 December. The band was joined again by St Albans Primary School with the children delivering excellent readings and providing some lovely singing from the school choir. For the second year we were also joined by the Splott Tenovus choir. The performers and audience enjoyed a few Christmas nibbles after the service in the church hall.
