Wormshead Top Brass is an orchestral Brass Quintet comprising some of the top freelance brass players in Wales today. It was the inspiration of trumpeter Bob Ferriman and trombonist Jonathan Pippen, who founded it in 2004 together with Terry Lax, trumpet, Nick Smith, french horn and Wilf Driscoll, tuba.
Wormshead Top Brass has already made an impression on the Wales music scene with its incredible versatility.

It has appeared as guest artist for local brass bands and choirs and provided a special Christmas celebration at Swansea's Brangwyn Hall.

In schools it has inspired literally hundreds of children with its education concerts and has developed a special relationship with the charity, Friends of Caerphilly Music.
Wormshead Top Brass thrives on the varying and vastly differing experiences of its members. All members are professional musicians at different stages in life and career. This diversity strengthens the group and enriches it with a wide musical experience.
