Cymanfa Ganu (Singing Festival) | Bethany Church, Ammanford, 1975

Here is a recording of the annual Whitsun Singing Festival from Bethany Church, Ammanford, in May 1975. The recording includes shots of the chapel, and English subtitles (with invaluable assistance from Richard Gillion's website of Welsh hymn translations). The organist is my father, Jeff Pugh (26 years old at the time). As well as hymns, the congregation also sing three psalms.

Mae capeli mor hyfryd yn Rhydaman - Ebeneser, Gwynfryn, Gellimanwydd, a Bethany wrth gwrs. Mae’n drist bod Bethany wedi cau erbyn hyn, ond gallwn ailfyw mawredd y gorffennol drwy wrando ar hwn :)
