Llangollen Silver Band
"Music at the Heart of the Community"
1920's to 1930's
The Band moved into the 1920’s with Mr Jeff Williams as Bandmaster, but in 1922 the records showed that Mr John Henry Humphreys took over the Baton, and held office until the end of 1930.
There are 4 pages of minutes from Committee meeting held between July 1925 and November 1926 shown to the right.
In 1931 the records show that Mr Richard Ellis Evans became Bandmaster, we are at present trying to ascertain how long he held this position for.
The Band took third prize at Belle Vue Manchester in 1933, Harry Mortimer Conducted the Band on the day, it is reported that Mortimer made a name for himself that day by conducting four Bands, and by winning Prizes with three of the four; Llangollen of course being one.
