The idea of Cathays Brass was conceived at the start of 2014 by a small group of former Cardiff Students. The purpose of the band is to allow all members of the community an opportunity to socialise through the medium of Brass playing.
After many months of hard work and planning the idea finally became a reality in May when we gained the support of world renowned tenor horn soloist Owen Farr, Local Labour councillor Sam Knight, and former accountant David Biddel. The three of which became the first trustees of the band.
02.07.14 saw the first public performance under the name Cathays Brass as the founding committee took-over the familiar Heath Pub Quiz and turned it into a Music based Quiz featuring live music from the band as part of their fundraising and awareness night.
The first official event run by Cathays Brass to help them engage members was the highly motivational Launch Day on 25.10.14. This day saw support for our initiative shown from guest conductor (and Trustee) Owen Farr, the Band of the Prince of Wales Division who kindly provided rehearsal equipment for the day and composers Matthew Hall and Christopher Bond who both donated compositions.

Cafodd y syniad o Fand Pres y Waun Ddyfal ei genhedlu ar ddechrau 2014 gan grwp o gyn fyfyrwyr Caerdydd. Pwrpas y band oedd i alluogi aelodau o’r gymuned i gymdeithasu drwy gyfrwng o chwarae mewn band pres. Ar ol misoedd o waith caled daeth y syniad ei wir ym mis Mai pan enillodd y band gefnogaeth gan yr unawdydd corn tenor Owen Farr, Cynghorydd Llafur lleol Sam Knight a’r cyfrifydd David Biddel. Daeth y tri yma yn ymddiriedolwyr cyntaf y band.
Ar yr ail o Orffennaf cafwyd perfformiad cyhoeddus cyntaf o dan yr enw Band Pres y Waun Ddyfal pan fydd pwyllgor y band yn rhedeg y Cwis dafarn cyfarwydd yr Heath gan ei droi mewn i gwis cerddoriaeth yn cynnwys cerddoriaeth byw fel rhan o’u noson codi arian. Pwrpas y noson oedd codi ymwybyddiaeth y band a ceisio denu aelodau newydd ir band. Roedd y noson yn llwyddianus iawn, a mae'r band yn gobeithio cael llawer mwy o nosweithiau tebyg yn y dyfydol.
Mae cymuned yn rhan allweddol o amcanion y band, rydym yn ceisio rhoi cyfle i chwaraewyr pres Caerdydd ddod at ei gilydd i chwarae cerddoriaeth cyffroes. Mae’r band yn gobeithio perfformio mewn cyngherddau cyson o gwmpas Caerdydd. Rydym yn ddiolchgar iawn am y gefnogaeth rydym wedi ei dderbyn yn barod yn y dyddiau cynnar.
