* Shea sings his winning set at the Eisteddfod.
Versatile young entertainer Shea Ferron has become the latest winner of Wrexham Lager's Fjones initiative 2024-2025 Wrexham Recognition Award.
Shea, 22, joined Ruabon church choir age seven, became involved in various groups, including the Operatic Society in Llangollen and at age 14, joined Johns' Boys Male Chorus.
He has just graduated from the Institute for Contemporary Theatre in Manchester and also won the Musical Theatre Competition crown at Llangollen Musical Eisteddfod this year.
He is currently on tour with Johns' Boys, as well as working on the canal in Llangollen, and has just secured his first professional role, working for the P&O cruise line, in December, playing Buttons in the on-board pantomime.
His award nomination says: "Shea is an amazing young performer, singer and actor. From a very young age he has devoted his himself to sharing his love of music and drama with the wider community, regularly singing to raise money for local charities and helping people and organisations in the local area.
"Throughout Covid he organised socially distanced music nights on his street, to entertain those stuck at home without family nearby.
"He performs as part of Johns' Boys regularly and also organises his own fundraising events, as well as volunteering at the Llangollen Eisteddfod each year.
"He truly is a special young man, who has done so much for the local community for many years, always with a smile on his face and a kind word for all. He really deserves to be recognised for all he has done and continues to do.”
On his Facebook page Shea said: "I am honoured to receive this Wrexham recognition award."
