Martin Adams

The Blaenavon Town Band has received the sad news that Martin Adams (Age 53), its talented Bass Trombone player passed away on the morning of Thursday 18th June, 2009 following a battle with cancer. As many will know, Martin was popular, well liked and respected by his many friends in the banding fraternity throughout South Wales and wider afield.

A larger than life character and committed Bandsman, Martin had been a member of various Bands particularly in Gwent. Having served Blaenavon Town Band faithfully and with enormous pride since 1997, he shared in all its recent successes. A Newbridge boy through and through, he made his home within the Community of Blaenavon where he had many close and extremely supportive friends. Someone who would never pass you by, he will be sorely missed.
