Due to the retirement of our current Musical Director,  Christian Jenkins, Briton Ferry Silver Band would like to announce and welcome our new MD, Rhodri Griffiths.  We are very much looking forward to new challenges ahead and to achieving great things with Rhodri.  More information on Rhodri to follow!

Whilst it is exciting times, it is also a time of mixed emotions.  Christian has been our MD for the past 8 years and has worked hard and has achieved a lot with us for which we are very, very grateful.  So, on behalf of all at Briton Ferry Silver Band, I would like to thank Christian for all his hard work, effort and dedication. 
 
It is not all sad though as we will not be loosing Chris completely as he is now going to be a playing member of the band taking up his seat on 2nd Euphonium.  Just in time for  the Christmas Carolling period!
