Brass Band

'Pont Menai'

Commissioned to celebrate 120yrs of Menai Bridge Brass Band. Conducted by Chris Williams.

Completed on 30 January 1826, the Menai Bridge was a triumph of civil engineering – the biggest suspension bridge in the world at the time. Sixteen huge chains held up 579 feet of deck, allowing 100 feet of clear space beneath. This allowed tall sailing ships navigating the seaway to pass underneath, whilst spanning the Straits at its narrowest point.
