A talented Flintshire musician put on a show at a Wrexham care home after more than two years of pandemic restrictions on visiting performers.

Bethan Griffiths, of Treuddyn, near Mold, gave the residents of Pendine Park’s Hillbury House a performance in what was the second indoors concert since professional musicians were allowed back into the home.

The concert was organised by Caernarfon-headquartered music organisation Canolfan Gerdd William Mathias (CGWM) for which Bethan is a tutor in harp and piano.

Pendine Park Artist in Residence Sarah Edwards said it was a thrill to have performing artists return to entertain residents once more.

She said: “Pre-pandemic we would have all kinds of artistes including professional singers and even dancers in regularly to perform for residents.

“They were among the most exciting and enjoyable parts of our cultural enrichment programmes.

“But due to the lockdowns and other social restrictions necessitated by the pandemic it has been such a long time since we have been able to welcome any musicians indoors."

Bethan said: “This is my first time playing in a care home like this and it has been a fantastic experience, in such intimate surroundings. It is lovely to see the residents’ faces and their smiles as they begin to recognise the music.

“Things are only just now returning to a kind of normality so it was such a thrill for me to come here and sit so close to the Hillbury audience as I played to them, rather than locking myself away in my room with a computer screen or my phone.

"It was a complete joy and I want to thank all the residents and staff at Hillbury for being so welcoming. I’d love to return on a future occasion.”
