Written by I. Hendry
“Aberfan” serves as a touching and respectful tribute to the children, teachers, and families impacted by the 1966 Aberfan disaster in South Wales. Sung through Demi Du’Ville’s soulful, 1960s-inspired voice, the song encapsulates the sorrow of a morning that forever altered a community — when the school bell fell silent, and the village awaited footsteps that would never return.
Crafted with heartfelt compassion, this piece pays homage to the memory of those who were lost, honors the resilience of the survivors, and celebrates the unbreakable spirit of a Welsh community that will always be remembered. “Aberfan” offers a serene moment of remembrance — a time for stillness, love, and reflection for a tragedy that remains close to the heart of our nation.

Born in the Welsh Valleys and raised in a small stone cottage with her loving parents, she grew up surrounded by chapel hymns, radio melodies, and the sound of the hills around her.

"This Side of the Road" serves as a touching homage to the miners of the South Wales Valleys — individuals who labored underground while entire communities thrived above. Demi Du’Ville delivers her performance with a gentle strength and profound feeling, contemplating the struggles, friendships, and sacrifices that defined a generation. As time went on and the mines shut down, only decaying pit wheels, vacant baths, and fading recollections were left behind. This song encapsulates the intersection of the old world and the new — a space where pride, loss, and hope coexist on the same side of the road.
