Updated 14 September 2020

Due to the ongoing resctrictions relating to social gatherings we are unable at this time to provide a date when rehearsals will restart and therefore indoor rehearsals are cancelled until further notice.

BAND MEMBERS - See members info page for a planned rehearsal.

This decision will be continually reviewed as Welsh Government guidelines are updated.
Updates will be posted here and on the band Facebook page.

    John had previously contacted the Welsh Government to enquire when rehearsals may restart. Unfortunately the reponse did not provide any definite timescales for us to work towards.
You can view the response by clicking here.            

 
 
   

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.
