That this House congratulates Llwydcoed Brass Band on reaching its 110th anniversary; celebrates the role of miners in establishing the Band in 1912; notes the efforts of the Band to support the welfare of local residents in difficult economic circumstances throughout its history, including in particular the march of band members to Parliament from Cynon Valley to protest the lack of employment in the Valley in the 1930s; further notes the Band's musical success, including first prize at the National Eisteddfod in 1952 and the most recent festival in 2019; as well as the Band’s most recent achievement in qualifying for the British National Brass Band Championships at the Royal Albert Hall in 2021, representing the Cynon Valley; and looks forward to many more successes in the Band's future.
