Aberystwyth Rotary Club’s Young Musician competition took the place of the usual evening meeting. Jane Leggett judged the singers and Dr David Russell Hulme judged the intrumentalists. The singers were Emily Jones, Niamh O’Donnell both of Ysgol Penweddig, and Gwion Morgan Jones of Coleg Ceredigion. Erin Hassan of Ysgol Penglais played the French Horn; Mared Emyr of Ysgol Penweddig the harp and George Nash of Ysgol Penglais the guitar. The adjudicators were very complimentary about the overall performances, adding that in some cases there was little to choose between them.Emily ’with a rich mature voice’ was placed first of the singers, with Gwion second. The winning instumentalist was Erin, with one piece judged to be ‘absolutely brilliant’. Mared’s ‘very impressive harp playing’ earned her a very close second place. Emily and Eriin will proceed to the next round of Young Musician to be held in January.In presenting the certificates and prizes, club president John Harries congratulated all the musicians, thanked the club’s youth service committee led by Rtn Alun John and the adjudicators. The Club is indebted once again this year to the generosity of Cerdd Ystwyth in donating the prizes.Pictured, from left: Jane Leggett (adjudicator); George Nash; Rtn Alun John; Erin Hassan; Rtn Alan Wynne Jones; Mared Emyr; president John Harries; Gwion Morgan Jones; Emily Jones; Dr D Russell Hulme (adjudicator), and Niamh O’Donnell
