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 as it competes and performs at concerts.

 
Cornets: Matthew Frost, Tom Evans, Darren Thomas, Jeff Fear, John Evans, Harry Browning, Lee Elliott, Katy Rennie, Will Jones, Iestyn Davies, Rob Nesbitt, Ianto Williams, Tony Burrows
   
Horns: Danny Winder, Ellie Weston, Charlotte Buck, Michelle Williams, Ange Heninghem
   
Euphoniums: Ellie Carlsen, Andrew Gourlay
   
Baritones: Georgie Evans, Shoko Doherty
   
Trombones: Nils Richards, Chris Gardner, Oliver Marshall, Julian Kerrell
   
Basses: Lewis Chinn, 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 band.manager@tongwynlaisband.wales to get in touch.
