Cardiff Canton Band was formed in 1883 and has consistently contributed to the worship and evangelical outreach promoted by the Canton Citadel Corps on the west side of the city of Cardiff.

The Band has travelled throughout the United Kingdom, playing at Christian services and events; performed in concert halls, worship centres, prisons and hospitals; and marched through cities, towns and villages proclaiming the good news of God's love for all.

The Band has appeared on television and radio, completed tours of Norway (twice), Holland and Germany, and in 1991 was the first Salvation Army Band to march through the streets of Leipzig following the re-unification of Germany.

November 2001 celebrated the launch of the Band's first Compact Disc recording 'Land of Song'.

2008 saw the 125 anniversary of the formation of Canton Band, and there were several special events held to help celebrate this trully tremendeous occasion to give the 'Glory to God'. New Years Day 2009 saw the band take part in the Tournament of the Rose Parade, in Pasadena, Los Angeles USA, Joining with bandsmen and women from across the United States to represent the Salvation Army.

Although Singing Brigades may well have existed at Canton from 1913, Cardiff Canton Songsters were officially commissioned by Captain Gregory on 3rd December 1916.

The first Songster Leader was William Parsons with his son Will as his assistant. He held the post until Charles Jacques took over in January 1921.

The present Songster Leader, Christine Saunders, commissioned in January 2006 is only the ninth Songster Leader since 1916. The other Leaders were: William Parsons(sen), Charles Jacques(sen),Fred Saunders, Ernest Bartlett, Sidney Jellings, Leslie Parsons, Keith Griffin and Mike Saunders

The Songsters are an integral part of worship in the Corps at Canton and surrounding areas, communicating the gospel message in song at local churches and retirement homes, Divisional events and leading weekends at other Corps.

The songs used are from all styles, sources and ages from George Marshal and Eric Ball to Yvonne Field, Len Ballantine, Richard Phillips, Darren Bartlett and contemporary American composers such as Tom Fettke.
