Tredegar Band Heritage
National Eisteddfod of Wales Trophy
The solid silver Cwpan Catrawd Tiriogaethwyr Sir Y Flint trophy is presented to the band winning the Championship Section contest of the annual National Eisteddfod of Wales competition.
It was originally presented to the Eisteddfod in 1953 in Rhyl by the 384 Light Regiment R.A. (R.W.F.) TA, and has been won by Tredegar Band in 1962, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2016.
Tredegar Band first won the National Eisteddfod title in August 1876 in Wrexham, a result that led to the band being formally constituted a month later.
The aim of this Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) supported project is to provide an on-line multi-media resource that will celebrate and interpret the historical importance of the social, cultural and musical achievements of Tredegar Town Band over a time-line of the past 170 years – from the earliest reported origins in 1849 to date.
