Gethin Evans will be remembered for contributing a great deal to the musical activities of the school, as well as for organising many musical events in the town and surrounding area. He possessed a fine baritone voice which we rarely heard, particularly after his illness that took him out of school from the Spring of 1959 until the beginning of the 1960-1961 school year. Together with P.E. Phillips, and in his short period of overlap with T.R. James, he prepared the school choir for several of the concerts that were performed in the Coliseum in the summer term.
He was also a vocal tutor on some of the Glamorgan Youth Choir residential courses at Ogmore Camp, deputy conductor of the Cwmbach Male Voice Choir, and a chapel organist.
Gethin was regarded with affection by his students and they formed long-lasting friendships with him.

Below, we reproduce an article that appeared in the 1981 edition of The Aberdarian. Written by Simon Thomas, it was one of a short series from the magazines that outlined the careers of staff who were about to retire. It includes the 25 years that Gethin taught at the school.
