City of Swansea Concert Band
The following brief extracts give an idea of some of the music we play. They are in native Windows Media Audio (.wma) format (and should therefore play in stereo at near-CD-quality on virtually all personal computers).
If you like what you see/hear, please visit our CDs page where you will have the opportunity to browse and hopefully purchase CDs of the band.
You can also watch videos of the band on our YouTube channel
