The project, from Aberystwyth University Professor, John Harvey, will see the release of two albums commemorating the 60th anniversary of the disaster at Aberfan, Wales, on October 21, 1966. At around 9.15 am that day, a coal tip collapsed onto Pantglas Junior School killing 144 children and adults.
