Tongwynlais Temperance has announced that they will be joining forces with Richard Evans at the forthcoming Welsh Open contest in Porthcawl.

Clash

"When Steve Sykes joined us last year as professional conductor we always knew that there was a clash of schedules for the Welsh Open contest," said spokesperson Jason Bevan.

As a result, and with it being the curtain raiser to the Welsh contest season, the band was delighted that the undisputed ‘King of Entertainment’ accepted the offer to lead the band on what will their first contest since claiming a historic fourth place finish at the National Finals last October.

Jason added: "Richard’s track record at entertainment contests speaks for itself and this is a fantastic opportunity for the band to work with him."
