(From Swansea)
The Swansea Ladies Choir
Conductress, Madame Ben Thomas
In addition to its active work in South Wales, the Swansea Ladies' Choir has also appeared at the London Palladium and Finsbury Park Empire in connection with the National Sunday League concerts. The choir was founded in 1912 by its present conductress.

W. H. J. Jenkins comes from Bridgend and studied music at Aberystwyth
University under Sir Walford Davies. He has won several first prizes for violin and viola playing at National Eisteddfoddau, and is at present engaged as music master of Pwllheli County School.

Not often do voices blend so perfectly with each other as those of Dan Jones and Morlais Morgan. Apart from their individual achievements, these singers are a popular 'team' and have made gramophone records of Welsh duets.
