THE DECLAN Swans said it was an 'honour' to play a gig in tribute to a 'friend' over the weekend.
The now world-renowned Wrexham band put on a show at the Holly Bush in Cefn Mawr, the home village of Bailey Jones.
Bailey, a huge Reds fan, died on September 27 of last year, and his death led to a huge outpouring of tributes from those who knew him best.
On Saturday (January 13), the Swans' show saw a packed out venue celebrate the life of Bailey, who would have turned 21 years old that day.
Bailey was a friend of and also a very big fan of the much-loved band, who stated that he knew the words to their songs 'better than they did'.
Declan Swans, fronted by Michael 'Scoot' Hett, played some of their biggest hits from 'Acton Park' to the super-catchy 'Always Sunny In Wrexham'.
