A teacher and member of Welsh folk and rock group Bwncath has appeared in court accused of sexual communication with a child.

Alun Jones Williams, 26, from Y Ff么r, near Pwllheli, Gwynedd, has denied a charge of sexual communication with a child under 16 between 1 April and 20 November 2023.

His trial date was set for 3 July at Caernarfon Crown Court during a hearing at the same court on Tuesday.

He was released on bail.

In a statement made in November, Bwncath said he would "not take part in any of the band's performances in the future".
