The Crwbin Band from West Wales has announced that due to work and family commitments as well as the long commute to rehearsals, that Lynne Turner has reluctantly stepped down from the role as Musical Director. It follows the earlier decision of husband Chris to relinquish his connection with the band.

Glowing terms

We would like to thank both Chris and Lynne for their time with us — and especially Lynne for her continued commitment Band Chairman, Dewi Thomas
