Cantorion Sir Gaernarfon a Mȏn [Caernarfonshire and Anglesey Singers]. Good Sops. & Basses.... Conductor used both hands but failed to keep singers together. He started each v. himself, cyn i’r cant[orio]n gael eu hanadl [before the singers caught their breath] - so that only a few started, the others scrambled after Organ heavy & clumsy. Hymn tunes shocking - too fast and voices not together - organ behind.

Andalusia.... basses found it impossible to fit in their notes. I was astounded to learn from Minor Canon Hughes Williams that Rogers was the organist - he evidently did it intentionally. Maurice told me that Westlake used to boast of always upsetting the singing at the Welsh festivals, but that he worked hard with the English.
