About the band

The Tongwynlais Temperance Band is a traditional "British" Brass band. It is formed normally of 25 brass musicians and with percussion. Players come from all walks of life and enjoy performing and also competing across the UK and closer to home in Wales. The band is an amateur ensemble so members practice and rehearse as well as perform for the enjoyment of music making.

As well as a traditional brass band, its bandroom houses three personal rehearsal spaces and is home to the Tongwynlais Music Academy. Alongside the traditional band we perform as small and medium sized brass ensembles and with choir, soloists and other artists.
