The 45 year old father of two was a popular member of the band and was an integral part of their rise to contesting prominence over the last few years — including being a proud flugel player in their brace of National title wins.

Over the years he had also played with a number of other south Wales bands and was regarded as a dedicated, committed bandsman who made friends wherever he went.
