After a great days banding at the icon Brangwyn Hall in Swansea, Crwbin claimed 3rd place in a highly competitive field. This result should see the band promoted to the 2nd division once more. Congratulations to all the players and thank you for letting me work with you on this contest - here's to many more!

Once again it will be my privilege to lead Crwbin to this annual competition this weekend performing Bulla's Chroale and Toccata. The band have worked exceptionally hard since September on this work and it's in great shape ahead of what will no doubt be a stern test against some fantastic bands. Best of luck to all competing at the Brangwyn.
Much has been going on musically since the beginning of the year. A brief rundown follows;
I have had a new work published, a concert opener for brass band called Take to the Skies A commission completed for the Band of the Prince of Wales, to be performed in Brecon later this year Another commission completed for Slough Brass Band, a concert opener entitled Colours High My first engagement as Musical Director of the South Wales Police Band at a medal Ceremony at Margam Park and most humbling of all, my confirmation as Director of Music of the National Police Memorial Service from 2024 onwards. This post will give me the privilege of arranging the music to accompany this annual service, a service which is vital for the recognition and remembrance of those who have passed defending our society and keeping us safe. |
