Cross Keys suffers flood damage
Cross Keys Band in South Wales has unfortunately fallen victim to the widespread flood damage caused throughout the country by Storm Dennis. Their bandroom is close to the banks of the Ebbw and Sirhowy Rivers and as the banks burst the band’s premises were flooded, ruining music and damaging instruments, mutes and seats.
A spokesperson for the band said, "The damage done to the bandroom is terrible, but the main thing is that everyone is safe. We can replace bricks, stands and music, but the players are the most important thing. We want to thank everyone who has already donated to the cause — it means so much to us during this difficult time. It is also amazing to see the banding movement coming together to help out a band in need."
The band has opened a crowdfunding page to help meet immediate costs whilst the processes of insurance claims are assessed. Should you wish to help, donations can be made at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/crosskeysband
