TRIBUTES have been paid to a globally-renowned harpist from Flintshire who has died at the age of 92, Dr Osian Ellis CBE, who started playing again as he approached his 90th, collaborated with leading British composer Benjamin Britten and performed at the world’s finest concert venues. In 2018 he was honoured at the Wales International Harp Festival in Caernarfon when a new work was premiered to celebrate his 90th birthday. Dr Ellis, a native of Ffynnongroyw who later lived in Pwllheli, leaves his son, Richard and his daughter in law, Glynis; two grandchildren, David and Katie, and his sister, Mrs Elfrys Hughes.
