Television AppearancesThe Regimental Band of The Royal Welsh have featured in many television broadcasts - both live and pre-recorded programmes. Stills and recordings from some of these appearances can be found below:
CODI CANU 17th March 2007
On 17th March 2007, at the Wales v. England rugby match, the Regimental Band of The Royal Welsh were joined on the pitch of the Millennium Stadium by four choirs rather than just the usual one. This performance marked the end of many months of work for the choirs made up of supporters of the Newport Gwent Dragons, Llanelli Scarlets, the Ospreys and Cardiff Blues. The winner was to remain on the pitch and sing the anthem, accompanied by the Band. This was not the first time the Band had rehearsed with the choirs - a run-through of the final was held on a very wet 15th February at the Gnoll Rugby Ground in Neath. The Band had also accompanied the Dragons' Choir on 21st October last year at Chepstow racecourse during one of their 'challenges'. Videos of the different programmes featuring the Band can be found by clicking the links above.
