Can anybody point me to a site that can help with the above question.
My wife seems to think a relation or her's, JOHN HUGHES, wrote the words.
Many thanks,

Mike Harford

Yes she is right, John Hughes wrote this( 1872-1914).

Does she get royalties?.

Thanks for prompt reply.
I new I would get a reply I am just glad it was something she could read.
Any sites out there with this info I could browse??
As to royalties she is just glad somebody else confirmed her belief.
He was her great grandfather.
The local school in Swansea is changing its name to THE DANIEL JAMES
COMMUNITY SCHOOL saying HE had wrote Calon Lan.
Was he responsible for the music then?

She also says if you want help with your diet she will post so tips.

Hi,

I can confirm that the music was definitely written by John Hughes (1872 - 1914) and the words by Daniel James. There is some confusion on some websites as there was another composer calles John Hughes (1873 - 1932) around at the same time who wrote CWM RHONDDA.Funnily enough, the first John Hughes (Calon Lan) was my great grandfather as well (his daughter Rosalind May Hughes, who married Aneurin lewis) was my grandmother, so we must be related!!
