Welcome to the City of Cardiff (Melingriffith) Brass Band.
We are a unique organisation within Welsh brass banding, comprising five bands based in the vibrant and beautiful city of Cardiff. We are a friendly and active organisation dedicated to making music, building lifelong friendships, and helping to keep the brass band tradition alive in Wales. Our organisation includes a beginners' band (M4), youth band (M3), Second Section development band (M2), Championship Section band (M1), and, last but not least, our non-competing community band, Comm Brass.
The organisation has a proud history of music-making stretching back to the 18th century. From its beginnings as a fife and drum band, it evolved through the 19th and 20th centuries into a brass band closely associated with the Melingriffith Tinplate Works. Today, we enjoy bringing the wonderful sound of brass band music to communities across Cardiff and beyond. We are proud to provide opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to make music together, with our members ranging in age from 6 to 85.
The highlights of our year are our annual Gala Concerts, which showcase performances from all five of our bands. We hold one concert during the summer and another during the festive Christmas season.
If you are interested in joining one of our bands, learning more about our organisation, or booking us for a performance, we would be delighted to hear from you.
