Glyn Williams was born in Aberystwyth where he was introduced to
music by his Uncle and enjoyed playing euphonium with Towyn Silver Royal
Oakley and Menai Bridge, all local bands.

Glyn was appointed as solo euphonium with the Foden’s Band in 1995
contributing to many contest victories including the Swiss Open, All
England Masters, French Open, Brass in Concert, North West Area Finals
more than 10 times, the titles of National & British Open Brass Band
Champions of Great Britain, English National Champions and All England
International Masters Champions. 2012 was the pinnacle of this
contesting success when Foden’s won both the Open and National
Championships.

After 20 consecutive years service at Foden’s Band, Glyn took the
heart wrenching decision to move to South Wales and to join the Cory
Band in the Summer of 2015, beginning a whole new chapter in his brass
banding career. Since then Glyn has been pivotal in helping Cory to make
history in an unprecedented Grand Slam year of 2016, when the Band won
the European, British Open, National and Brass in Concert titles. Glyn
has been awarded many best instrumentalist awards along the way, the
most recent having been at the 2017 European Brass Band Championships in
Ostend, Belgium. In 2019 Glyn was a part of the Cory Band as they again
achieved the Grand Slam…..and added the BrassPass UK Band of the Year
title to their accolades.
