"Music at the Heart of the Community"

In this period we have the oldest attendance register of Band Members, and the first date in the register is March 1st 1910. We don’t know if there was a previous register, it is assumed that there would be, but we have no record of it. The only Names we can be certain of prior to these records is that of the founder; Mr J.C.Henry, along with the first Bandmaster; Mr Jeff Williams, players Mr John Henry Humphreys and Mr Richard Ellis Evans.

You can see a copies of the register for 1912 and 1914, and these pages start to record the Family names that through the decades have been synonymous with the Band.

The register stops in 1914, then on the next page restarts again in 1919, this gap would be because of the First World War, it is assumed that all banding activities ceased during that period.

Going into the 1920’s, Mr Jeff Williams is recorded as still being the Bandmaster.
