07/06/05 Young Singer's Website Mae A young man from the Vale of Neath has for some time been inspiring and entertaining us with his musical talents. Gareth Thomas, a pupil at Llangatwg School who lives in Cwmgwrach, has had a number of successes on and off the musical stage. He is a most talented singer and also composes and performs his own music. In January 2005, like so many people, he was deeply moved by the effects of the Tsunami Disaster and was inspired to write a song, titled "Pray For The World". He has now developed his own website, where items of information about his music and about Gareth himself can be viewed and some clips of his songs downloaded and played. To link to Gareth's website, click here.
