John Hughes

There are quite a few of them. What I'm wondering is whether (I suspect the answer is yes) the John Hughes who composed CALON LÂN and the John Hughes who composed CWM RHONDDA were one and the same composer, and if so, what his actual birth and death dates were.


Comments

The John Hughes who composed CALON LAN is not the same John Hughes who composed CWM RHONDDA. CALON LAN was composed by John Hughes, born in 1872 in Penybryn Pembrokshire and who died in 1914. John Hughes who composed CWM RHONDDA was born in 1873 in Dowlais, Glamaorganshire and who died in 1932.
