Deiniolen Silver Band, one of Wales' premier brass bands, began life as a quarry band in 1835. Until recently, every quarrying village had its own band and throughout the decades there was great rivalry between the various bands. The bandroom is sited in a former slate mill. The band has an excellent bilingual web site: http://www.deiniolenband.org.uk
