The band’s instruments were stored at Goodwick Community School/Ysgol Gymunedol Wdig, where the practise sessions were held.  

After a gap of many years, the band was reformed in the late 1980’s.  Today, it is  very successful and the winner of many awards              Wedi bwlch o flynyddoedd mawr, ailffurfiwyd y band yn yr 1980au hwyr. Heddiw, mae’n arwain y blaen ac wedi ennill nifer o wobrau

  • We believe this photograph was taken in 1911 . The bass drummer is John Gough ( far left ) and he is also in the photograph of ‘Unknown musicians’ on this website. We still have this bass drum in the Bandroom in Goodwick !
