‘One of the oldest known brass bands in Great Britain having been formed in 1822. It is one of only four brass bands to proudly have and indeed be allowed to use the "Royal" title the others being Royal Oakeley from Blaenau Ffestiniog, Nantlle Vale Royal and Royal Doulton from the Potteries. All three Welsh bands have had the "Royal” title bestowed on them by Royalty whereas Royal Doulton is the factory's name which the band took when it formed ... Performing all styles of music from traditional brass band repertoire to arrangements of modern pop songs and further, the band is kept busy throughout the year with various engagements whilst competing in the Second Section.‘
