Tonight's concert was held in Caersalem Chapel, Treboeth which is also the burial place of John Hughes, who wrote the music for Calon Lȧn. It featured Swansea Male Choir and the Swansea Bay Singleton Singers, as well Clase Primary School Singing and Signing Choirs and pupils from Ysgol Gyfun Bryntawe.
It was an excellent concert and a fitting prelude to the centenary celebrations planned for next year.
The society is raising funds to pay for eight free-standing stained glass windows featuring Daniel James and events from his life, to be donated to each of the three Comprehensive Schools and four Primary Schools in the area. The eighth window will be given to the Kings Head pub, which was Daniel James favourite watering hole.
There are plans to take some schools to the Principality Stadium near the anniversary of Daniel James death in March on an international day to sing Calon Lȧn and also outside the Senedd.
