Denis Griffiths
Denis Griffiths (1922–2001), Welsh lyric tenor who regularly performed on BBC radio from the late 1940s onwards and who later featured among the soloists in the Independent Television series ''Gwlad y Gan'' which - as ''Land of Song'' - was networked to a wide audience throughout the country between 1958 and 1964. The musical show was made by TWW (Television Wales and the West) in Cardiff’s Pontcanna studios, and was designed to celebrate Wales within Wales and beyond.
== Land of Song ==
During its six-year run, ''Gwlad y Gan'', or 'Land of Song', offered a Sunday evening entertainment based on Welsh music and song led by the baritone Ivor Emmanuel, who was already well known from his success in West End musicals on the London stage. Around Emmanuel were gathered a children’s chorus, an adult chorus and, from its ranks, a select group of male singers – Denis Griffiths, Bryn Williams, John Willams and Harry Price – who accompanied Emmanuel in a variety of set-pieces. Griffiths also sang regular solos, and was often paired in duet with the young soprano Sian Hopkins. The popularity of the show - regularly playing to ten million viewers at its peak - led to the release of two ''Land of Song'' records (Delysé EDPs 209 and 210), made in London in 1960 by the record producer Isabella Wallich. They sold very well and proved the first "big hit" for Wallich’s fledgling Delysé label, reaching number 13 in the popular music charts of 1961.〔Isabella Wallich, autobiography ''Recording My Life'' (London; Sanctuary, 2001), pp.159-161〕
