Llwydcoed Brass Band are a Brass Band based in Llwydcoed, a small village north of Aberdare, South Wales.
We have had a very successful few years of competition in banding which has seen us rise through the sections to Championship section status locally and nationally from 2015.
Llwydcoed Band are pleased to announce we have recently secured Charitable Status (Reg No: 1190667). This will help increase the bands fund raising capabilities and will put the band on a firmer footing going forward.
We will shortly be re-launching our Patrons Scheme, anyone interested in joining the scheme please email llwydcoedband@hotmail.com For a yearly donation of £20, not only will you be helping secure the long time future of the last remaining Brass Band in the Cynon Valley, but you will also receive 1 free ticket to our annual Summer Concert, regular updates on the bands activities / successes and the opportunity to attend a rehearsal leading up to one of the major band contests we will be preparing for.
