Cwt Band Deiniolen Bandroom
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:

Deiniolen - A Well Planned Industrial Village
Deiniolen developed in response to the growth of the slate industry on freehold land between Assheton-Smith's slate road and his first slate tramway. Much of the initial planning and building was carried out by an Anglesey builder who adopted a grid street pattern. Many of the initial inhabitants also were migrants from Anglesey. The term "Llanbabs" was applied to these incomers, after the hamlet of Llanbabo in North Anglesey Image The inhabitants of Deiniolen are still known today as "Llanbabs". Two famous contemporary "Llanbabs" are Sir David Brailsford, the British Cycling coach, and the professional footballer and sports commentator Malcolm Allen.
