There was the chance for a chat with Aled between the recording of songs and interviews for an edition of the television programme Dechrau Canu, Dechrau Canmol and an afternoon rehearsal.

Aled Lewis Evans was a teacher in Ysgol Morgan Llwyd in Wrexham. In the course of teaching Welsh, English and Drama he wrote a number of pieces for performance by his students including a musical based on the life of the Irish singer, Dana.

As a member of Capel y Groes in Wrexham he had visited Trefeca several times and was therefore happy to be invited to write something to celebrate the 250^th anniversary of the Teulu Trefeca.

After receiving the invitation he spent a week of his holidays in The Mumbles near Swansea with pencil and notebook writing the musical drama "Teulu@Trefeca", originally in Welsh.

As regards the musical content he wrote the words for one of the songs Deimli di'r Rhin and selected other suitable songs.

The script was subsequently translated, adapted and re-translated but he is very happy with the outcome. His pleasure was obvious as he watched the enthusiastic band of young performers bring his ideas to life.

The story of Howell Harris and his community is told in a series of flash-backs. A number of contemporary TV shows are used as well e.g.Who Want's to be a Millionnaire? and The Weakest Link. The purpose of this is to show the relevance of the life of the community to life today.

Unfortunately Aled was only able to stay for one performance of the show because he had to return to Aberystwyth where he has been studying theology. His finals were starting immediately after the weekend and so he had to return to prepare for them.
