2024 Welsh Open Entertainment Contest result




Ebbw Valley started their contesting year off in fine fashion as they retained their steely grip on the magnificent CISWO Miners' Challenge Cup with a fine Welsh Open victory in Newport.


A polished 'Welcome to the Circus' set saw them deservedly claim the £1,000 top prize for the second successive year, as well as secure the accolades for 'Best Tubas' and 'Best Trombones'. Their MD Gareth Ritter also went home once again with the Miners' Eisteddfod Cup as the winning conductor.
