Conductor Gareth Pritchard has announced his departure from Tongwynlais Temperance Band after a four year tenure at the helm.

Goals

Gareth told 4BR: "Over recent weeks it has become increasingly obvious that my visions and goals for the band are no longer the same as theirs.

During a phone call on Sunday, my Musical Directorship of the Tongwynlais Temperance Silver Band was terminated with immediate effect."
