A young musician lent his support to a recent Civic Service event in Old Colwyn.

Gwyn Davies, who is a Year 11 pupil at Rydal Penrhos is an immensely talented musician specialising in the Cello.

He put this special gift on full display at a Civic Service that took place at the Old Colwyn Methodist Church on Wynn Avenue.

The service was organised by the Bay of Colwyn Town Council and Gwyn got the opportunity to perform in front of community members and prominent figures such as Cllr Merrill Jones, Mayor of Colwyn Bay, Clwyd West Member of Parliament David Jones and Councillor Jeff Pearson.

The service was conducted by Deacon Linda Brown and Pete Williams, the school’s Director of Music and Bayside Radio presenter.

Gwyn played a cello piece entitled ‘Elegy ‘ by Gabriel Faure, which was extremely well received from those in attendance. The Mayor was so impressed by his performance, she is planning to send a letter of thanks as a special memento for the pupil to keep.

Mrs Roz Dudley, who is Assistant Clerk at the Bay of Colwyn Town Council, wrote to Mr Williams:

“On behalf of the Mayor and Town Council, thank you so much for playing the organ in Church yesterday and also for accompanying Gwyn.

“We have had so many comments about the Cello piece; how beautifully played the piece was so please pass on our grateful thanks to Gwyn. He certainly is a talented musician.”
