The Pontardulais Band is hoping to inspire the next generation of young players in the West Wales area by hosting a series of Autumn Workshop days.

In association with Create! Music Education and funded by a Ty Cerdd 'Music in Communities' grant the aim will be to inspire youngster by encouraging a passion in music-making through an introduction to brass banding.

Inclusion

The initiative has also gained support from the Austin Bailey Foundation which was established by the late Keith Bailey who, despite being a prisoner of war with the Japanese from 1942 to 1945, was conscious promoting social inclusion and togetherness.

Percussion Day

A Percussion Day will take place on 29th September (10.00am — 4.00pm) aimed at complete beginners through to Grade 1 standard and will include elements of tuned and non-tuned activities with a variety of instruments.
