The “Mold Town Concert Band Yr Wyddgrug” is a Registered Charity, number 1088079.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band was originally formed as the Argoed Concert Band in 1997. Adopted by Mold Town Council in 1999 we became the Mold Town Band, changing our name in 2002 to Mold Town Concert Band (in order to avoid being confused with a brass or silver band!)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band continues to thrive, having seen a recent expansion in membership, &  currently consists of  over 40  friendly & enthusiastic musicians who play a variety of  woodwind\/brass instruments. We are open to all ages from school students through to retired members – currently ranging from approx 13 to 80 plus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band is a registered charity and receives support from the Mold Town Council in return for ‘official duties’ such as  the Remembrance Sunday Parade, playing at the switching on of Christmas illuminations and at Mold Carnival. Performances encompass a variety of venues, both open-air and indoors, in the immediate locality and beyond  in the Chester, Liverpool and North Wales areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members pay a small monthly subscription – \u00a310.00 with effect from November 2025, but students and children are exempt from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, following a the prolonged Covid enforced absence the Band is delighted that rehearsals are now back up and running! Until further notice, these will now take place at The Pod (previously called St Mary’s Church Hall), Kings Street, Mold<\/a> each Monday from 7:15 pm \u2013 9:15 pm. Refer to the Contact Us<\/a> page for full details of the rehearsal venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rehearsals are always enjoyable, under the expert guidance of our musical director Alan Milnes, so if you are considering joining a band for the first time, or feel like getting back to playing, you could not make a better choice than Mold Town Concert Band!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
