The Premier Community Wind Band in South Wales

Updated 15 June 2020

We have again reviewed the situation across the UK and taken the decision to cancel rehearsals until 10 August 2020.

This decision will be reviewed mid July and updates will be posted here and on the band Facebook page.

Update on 12 July 2020

We have kindly been offered the garden of Lynne, our Secretary, to use as an outdoor venue for a blow.
This will be dependant on the Coroavirus guidelines at the time.
Can you let Lynne know (and copy John in) if you are interested.
No date has been set, hopefully late August.

THE CONCERT SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY 20 MARCH 2020 WAS POSTPONED.

Existing tickets will be valid for the rescheduled date.
More details will follow when known.

We have previously commissioned a piece called "Swansea Town" which we premiered at the
