Introducing our new Musical Director
Northop Silver Band are delighted to announce Ryan Richards as the band's new Musical Director. Ryan joins us following a successful partnership when competing in the Spring Festival in May 2025. Ryan moves to Northop following years of success with Jackfield, including a podium finish at the Midlands Area Contest in March 2024. This resulted in a 3rd place finish at the National Finals in September 2024.
​
Ryan is also the Solo Trombone player at Tredegar Town Band, and even though he has only had a brief association with Northop Silver Band, he has connections with a number of its members going back years.
​
The band look forward to a long association with Ryan, with a fresh and vibrant approach to banding, and years of success.
The band would like to thank Rose and her fantastic team for their great efforts each month with the Bandroom Bingo. This monthly event helps to raise vital funds for the band's work and Rose is pictured here, presenting John Williams with a fantastic £600 towards band funds. Thank you all so much for your support!
The band was saddened to hear of the recent passing of Pedr Roberts, who had a long standing association with the Royal Buckley Town Band, both as a player and administrator. Pedr was a respected and influencial figure within the brass band movement in Wales, holding roles on the NWBBA and theWelsh Regional Council for many years. He was a gentleman first and foremost and his warmth and kindness will be missed by us all.
Our thoughts and condolences are with Pedr's family and our friends at Royal Buckley at this sad time. In our rehearsal following this sad news, we dedicated our hymn to the memory of Pedr.
