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: Danny Winder, Darren Thomas, Grace Thomas, Jeff Fear, John Evans, Lee Elliott, Harry Browning, Paul Rayner, Katy Rennie, Will Jones, Rob Nesbitt
   
Horns: Ffion Williams, Haydn Brown, Trevor McCormick, Michelle Williams
   
Euphoniums: David Johnson, Shoko Doherty
   
Baritones: Georgie Evans, Ange Farr
   
Trombones: Nils Richards, James Norman, Matt Davies
   
Basses: Patrick Miller, Bradley Turpin, Alice Tracey, Andrew Robins, Paul Baxter
   
Percussion: Megan Jackson, Faye Jones, Ed Hayes, Alfie Ireland

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.
