Band Events - 2009 |
for the latest news from the bandroom, click here...... 3rd July - Our Annual Concert was held at the Abercrave Welfare Hall. We were joined by children from Caehopkin school. As the programme contained the music we're playing at the Eisteddfod, we haven't uploaded any videos - these will be available shortly after the Eisteddfod takes place on August 1st. 16th May - We competed at the SEWBBA contest in Ebbw Vale. As anticipated, we were awarded 2nd place, behind last year's 3rd Section Eisteddfod winners Goodwick. 22nd April - We held a charity concert at Sardis Vestry, raising over £200 for AIDS charities in Africa. 28th March - We held a surprise birthday party for Ross at the 'Bomb' in Glanrhyd. Many thanks to everyone for keeping the party a surprise and for making this such a memorable event. 15th March - We made our first trip in five years to the Brangwyn Hall for the Welsh Regional Contest. Although each of the competing bands are graded higher than us, we managed to beat one of them and the performance of such a difficult piece demonstrated the progress that the band has made over the last year. 13th March - Ross has become the town celebrity as he approaches his 80th birthday next week. His story has been featured in the Evening Post, South Wales Guardian, Brecon & Radnor and the Daily Mirror. He's also completed interviews that have aired on BBC Radio Cymru and on TV. |
