Band Members
Meet the playing members of the Tongwynlais Temperance Band
A traditional British style brass band that competes in contests normally consists of twenty five brass players and the number of percussion players needed to perform a set work or programme. This number is set by the strict rules for contesting that help ensure a level playing field for all competitors. However, for concerts and to allow for players to fill gaps when needed, the band is able to register more than the maximum number allowed in most contests.
Here is the make up of the current band:
| Cornets: | Tom Evans, Darren Thomas, Jeff Fear, John Evans, Lee Elliott, Harry Browning, Katy Rennie, Will Jones, Rob Nesbitt, Tony Burrows |
| Horns: | Danny Winder, Haydn Brown, Ellie Weston, Michelle Williams, Ange Farr |
| Euphoniums: | Shoko Doherty, Andrew Gourlay |
| Baritones: | Georgie Evans |
| Trombones: | Nils Richards, James Norman, Chris Gardner, Matt Davies, Julian Kerrell |
| Basses: | Patrick Miller, Alice Tracey, Carl Thomas, Andrew Robins, Paul Baxter |
| Percussion: | Megan Jackson, Faye Jones, Ed Hayes |
If you would like to join the band, we are always keen to hear from suitably experienced players willing to deputise or join as a full member. Please email secretary@tongwynlaisband.wales to get in touch.
