A TRIBUTE TO A DEAR FRIEND: CLIVE GRIFFITHS M.B.E. Dear Clive you were truly a legend, a Welshman so proud, a true Taff. A conductor with warmth, dedication, loved your music, but also a laugh. You inspired the men of Canoldir, showed courage at times, true grit. You got the best of the bass and top tenors with not only your skill, but you wit. You'll be missed and that is quite certain; as a husband, a father, a friend. Though ill health took its toll, you kept smiling, such bravery, yes to the end. What a team you and Avril presented, with your children both there in support: proud Melanie and Adrian a credit with whom clearly you had a rapport. What a life, full of joy and achievement, so well lived, you deserved the M.B.E. Rest in peace my old pal, here's your secret: just being yourself, that's the key.
