Tong on t'internet

The Tongwynlais Band have a new look on the world web thingy...

Tongwynlais
 

A few weeks off band in the summer and a considerable amount of rain have both contributed to the backroom staff at Tongwynlais getting round to completing the bands new website in time for the new season of banding.

Updates

The band tell 4BR that they've tried to keep the site simple but still allowing people to upload music, video’s and photo’s from the band’s activities easily and hopefully straight after the event has happened.

Photos

It does mean, however, that someone from the band will now have to carry a camera around with them so it you are around at Wychavon, Pontins or the rest of the South Wales League Contests this year you may very well end up on the site yourself!
