With Steve Levine’s state of the art expert advice to Paula and her team, we look forward to hearing One.a Salon use music to its full advantage within the competitive salon industry. I congratulate Paula for her genuine passion for her business, community and for recognising the importance of investing in music use for the benefit of her business.”
Côr Glanaethwy conductor, Cefin Roberts said, 'Côr Glanaethwy were very excited to be involved with this celebration and congratulate Paula on this fantastic achievement. This year Ysgol Glanaethwy will also be celebrating its 25th anniversary and it's great to see another local business being awarded and acknowledged for their hard work and commitment. We hope that Glanaethwy's involvement in the celebrations will showcase the work of many Welsh songwriters and arrangers and also, through our work, show how music can bring together a whole community of people to be involved in the North Wales Music Industry.
