Les died on Saturday night. He was the Isca Morris co-founder and a founder member of Gwerinwyr Gwent (The Welsh team based in Bassaleg) back in 1976. His widow, Carole, danced with Cwmni Gwerin Pont-y-pwl.

Isca was the Roman name for the gigantic fort at Caerleon, five miles to the north of Newport, near to the River Usk. Over the years, Gwerinwyr Gwent and Isca Morris have been involved in many events together; Les will be sadly missed.
