-Championships starts in Mid Wales.

0:02:470:02:52

-Elfyn Evans from Machynlleth

-is amongst the favourites...

0:02:520:02:56

-..but there's another feature

-of interest to the Welsh.

0:02:560:03:00

-Yesterday, we went

-to Penrhiwllan near Llandysul...

0:03:000:03:04

-..for the launch of Spencer Sport

0:03:050:03:09

-British Rally Championship.

0:03:120:03:17

-It's returned in 2016

-after a sabbatical in 2015.

0:03:170:03:21

0:03:210:03:26

-Elfyn Evans also competes

-in this fantastic championship.

0:03:260:03:34

-This year, one of the drivers

-representing Spencer Sport...

0:03:340:03:38

0:03:390:03:43

-I started racing when I was 16.

0:03:430:03:49

-I competed in Latvian rallies

-before I passed my test.

0:03:490:03:53

-I returned home

-to compete in local rallies.

0:03:530:03:56

-This year, we're also competing

-in World Rally Championship rounds.

0:03:570:04:00

-My father was a co-driver

-and my grandfather did some driving.

0:04:000:04:07

-However, they did it to have fun

-and didn't compete at a high level.

0:04:070:04:11

-I've had a chance to compete at a

-high level and I'm grateful for it.

0:04:110:04:16

-In order for driver to fulfil

-their full potential...

0:04:160:04:19

-..talented mechanics are needed

-to get the best from the car.

0:04:190:04:22

-We have lots of work to do

-when a car returns from a rally.

0:04:230:04:27

-We have to clean it thoroughly,

-check every part and fix damages.

0:04:270:04:32

-In some events, we have to change

-the car setup from tarmac to gravel.

0:04:320:04:37

-This is a Mitsubishi Mirage

-that's been adapted for rallying.

0:04:380:04:41

-Lots of work has been done

-on the engine, gearbox and brakes.

0:04:410:04:45

-There's also more suspension travel

-due to the gravel bumps.

0:04:450:04:49

-Inside the car, there are

-seats, belts and a rollcage.

0:04:490:04:55

-In the boot, there's a spare wheel,

-jack, nut gun and tool case.

0:04:550:05:01

-There's also a net

-to keep the helmets and belts.

0:05:010:05:06

-One famous face at the launch...

0:05:060:05:08

-..was the former international

-back row player, Dafydd Jones.

0:05:090:05:13

-He was there as the ambassador

-of the team's sponsor, Oil 4 Wales.

0:05:130:05:16

-It's great to see a local team

-that employs Welsh speakers.

0:05:160:05:22

-There's a fantastic set-up.

0:05:220:05:25

-As a Welsh company,

-we're happy to support the team.

0:05:250:05:29

-Osian Pryce

0:05:290:05:32

-There's an exciting season

-ahead of him.

0:05:320:05:35

-He's a young driver and it's vital

-that we nurture his talent.

0:05:350:05:39

-The Oil 4 Wales company

-is looking forward to his season.

0:05:400:05:43

-My aim is to test the car as we

-haven't had much time on the road.

0:05:430:05:48

-The first round of the championship

-is the ideal opportunity for this.

0:05:480:05:52

-What is it about rallying

-that appeals so much to the Welsh?

0:05:520:05:56

-There's so much rallying

-in this area and Wales in general.

0:05:560:06:01

-Rallying is in my blood.

0:06:010:06:05

-There's excitement to be had for

-participators and spectators alike.

0:06:050:06:11

-..at the top of the programme.

0:06:250:06:27

-for us all!

0:06:540:06:59

-I'll be cooking.

0:06:590:07:11

-I don't mind as long as the

0:07:110:07:16

0:07:160:07:20

-Yes, I've got two sons.

0:07:200:07:23

-They are eight and five.

0:07:230:07:27

-a great salon for us.

0:07:590:08:11

-The shed used to

-house working horses.

0:08:110:08:24

-Working together can be

-a strain sometimes I'm sure.

0:08:250:08:33

-We're like two sisters.

0:08:330:08:37

-I had Geinor when I was quite young.

0:08:370:08:40

-Geinor does the hair in the salon...

0:08:400:08:50

0:08:500:08:54

-You love performing together though.

0:08:550:08:57

0:08:570:09:00

-People ask us to sing in the salon.

0:09:010:09:13

-You've been singing with

0:09:130:09:16

0:09:160:09:24

-I was ill and there was

-a concert with S4C at Pontyberem...

0:09:250:09:28

-..and Geinor did some singing too.

-chocolates or breakfast in bed?

0:10:070:10:10

-I think it's flowers.

0:10:100:10:14

-Yes, that's right.

0:10:140:10:21

-It's like Sion a Sian!

0:10:210:10:27

0:11:230:11:26

-Llinos is going to pamper you!

0:11:260:11:28

-It's a joke!

0:11:280:11:31

-Last night,

-Ysgol y Dderwen in Carmarthen...

0:11:530:11:56

-..to introduce a new resource

0:11:560:12:00

0:12:000:12:04

-We're launching a partnership

-between Canolfan Peniarth...

0:12:060:12:11

-..and S4C's Cyw.

0:12:110:12:13

-We hope this will be the first

-of many educational resources...

0:12:130:12:17

-..that brings Cyw

-into the classroom.

0:12:180:12:22

-We've got dominoes, snap,

-they've played language games...

0:12:220:12:27

-..and developed various aspects

-of the language.

0:12:270:12:31

-A snake.

0:12:310:12:33

-What's on the snake?

0:12:340:12:36

-They have been counting

-and making shapes.

0:12:360:12:42

-We played Cyw on the computer.

0:12:430:12:46

-We played hopscotch too.

0:12:460:12:49

-And we did

-some cutting and sticking.

0:12:500:12:54

-It's an excellent way to highlight

-the service and the Welsh identity.

0:12:540:12:59

-Cyw can also help

-non-Welsh speaking parents...

0:13:000:13:05

-to Welsh schools.

0:13:050:13:11

-This is excellent for Cyw and

0:13:110:13:26

-# How are you? How's it going?

0:13:260:13:29

-# It's time to say hello

-to all our friends #

0:13:290:13:33

0:14:290:14:33

-# St David's little things

0:14:330:14:37

-# Not the sound of fire

-but the sound of chords

0:14:370:14:44

-# Not a large oak but small birds

0:14:440:14:50

-# Not the sun and moon

0:14:500:14:54

-# But the sparks of fire

0:14:540:14:58

-# To keep all of the little things #

0:14:580:15:08

-Welcome back to Heno.

0:15:230:15:27

-We're live from Cardigan Castle.

0:15:280:15:32

-The Hoelion Wyth Eisteddfod

-is being held here tonight.

0:15:330:15:40

-This room is full

-of historic artefacts.

0:15:400:15:45

-Here's a quick history of the

-first Eisteddfod held in Wales.

0:15:450:15:50

-The National Eisteddfod is an event

-we associated with August...

0:15:520:15:57

-..and that pink pavilion!

0:15:570:15:59

-But the date, location and

-competitions were very different...

0:16:000:16:03

-..when the first Eisteddfod was held

-about 1,000 years ago in 1176.

0:16:030:16:10

-Lord Rhys, Prince of Deheubarth,

-wanted an event about the arts...

0:16:100:16:16

-..to showcase his authority

-as a leader.

0:16:160:16:19

-He invited poets and musicians to

-a new festival in Cardigan Castle.

0:16:190:16:26

-It's recorded in Brut y Tywysogion,

-a primary source of Welsh history.

0:16:260:16:32

-In the Christmas of that year...

0:16:320:16:36

-..Lord Rhys ap Gruffydd

-held court at Cardigan Castle...

0:16:370:16:40

-..and set a competition for poets

-and another for the musicians.

0:16:400:16:44

-The winners won a chair

-and an array of gifts.

0:16:440:16:48

-A young man from Rhys' court

-won the musicians' chair...

0:16:480:16:53

-..whilst artists from Gwynedd

-won the poets' prizes.

0:16:530:17:02

-The word, Eisteddfod,

-wasn't used until 1523...

0:17:020:17:08

-..but the crowning and chairing

-ceremonies are still very important.

0:17:080:17:13

-And it all started in a small town

-in West Wales.

0:17:130:17:17

-That was a lot of history.

0:17:260:17:32

-John is one of the founders

-of the Hoelion Wyth.

0:17:320:17:36

-Tell us about the Hoelion Wyth.

0:17:360:17:39

-It started about 40 years ago.

0:17:390:17:43

-There's been an array of groups.

0:17:440:17:51

-There are six groups in total.

0:17:520:17:58

-Yes, there are six branches

-altogether.

0:17:580:18:02

-In Aberporth, they meet every month.

0:18:030:18:15

-What's in store tonight?

0:18:150:18:19

-It's going to be a lively night.

0:18:200:18:22

-It'll be a fun evening.

0:18:230:18:27

-I hope more people

-will arrive later.

0:18:270:18:35

-It's a good night.

0:18:350:18:39

-We have a competition about jokes.

0:18:390:18:44

-There's a sketch, the choir

-competition and much more.

0:18:440:18:51

-There's also limericks

-and other poems.

0:18:510:18:56

-We also have a Crown and Chair.

0:18:570:18:59

-Join me later

-when I'll have more from Cardigan.

0:19:000:19:02

-Last night, Bridged saw the first

-night of a stand-up tour...

0:19:030:19:08

-..that travels the whole of Wales

-and finishes in Cardiff in April.

0:19:080:19:12

-The entire tour

-is being followed by S4C.

0:19:130:19:17

-Tomorrow, they're in the best town

-in the world, namely Barry!

0:19:170:19:22

-Tonight, we're joined by two

-of the comedians on the tour.

0:19:220:19:27

-Dan Thomas and Steffan Alun,

-welcome to the programme.

0:19:270:19:31

-Don't forget to behave now, boys!

0:19:310:19:38

-I'm just saying hello to everyone!

0:19:380:19:46

-Tell us more about this tour.

0:19:460:19:51

-The stand-up tour

-continues in Barry tomorrow night.

0:19:520:19:56

-Barry is always a great venue.

0:19:560:20:02

-I was at your first stand-up show.

0:20:020:20:08

-I thought you were going

-to pick on me.

0:20:080:20:14

-The Barry gig was great...

0:20:140:20:17

-..because everyone was drunk!

0:20:170:20:26

-In the past, all the other gigs

-have been very respectable!

0:20:270:20:39

-This was three years ago.

0:20:390:20:45

-It isn't an easy task

-to make people laugh.

0:20:460:20:48

-It's far from easy.

0:20:490:20:58

-We do feel pressure.

0:20:580:21:01

-It's better than a daily job.

0:21:010:21:04

-When did you find out

-that you were funny?

0:21:050:21:09

-Five years

-after I started stand-up...

0:21:100:21:13

-..I realized that I was funny!

0:21:130:21:16

-I wasn't the school joker.

0:21:170:21:27

-When I was older,

-I'd watch Fawlty Towers.

0:21:270:21:34

-It was great.

0:21:340:21:37

-Some of the comedians that come

-from Britain have made it big...

0:21:370:21:44

-..such as Miranda and Rob Brydon.

0:21:450:21:50

-Comedy is a big business

-in the English world...

0:21:500:21:54

-..and it's started

0:22:350:22:41

-I always remember my worst gigs.

0:22:410:22:47

-I remember when someone

-was sick on me!

0:22:470:22:51

0:22:510:22:53

-Welcome back.

0:24:490:24:50

-It's Mother's Day on Sunday...

0:24:510:24:53

-..and it marks the start of a new

-series of Mamwlad with Ffion Hague.

0:24:530:24:58

-The series celebrates the most

-pioneering women in Welsh history.

0:24:580:25:02

-Elin Fflur chatted with Ffion Hague

-at her home in Mid Wales.

0:25:020:25:07

-Thank you for inviting us to

-your beautiful home in Montgomery.

0:25:280:25:34

-After being in London, this must be

-a wonderful retreat for you.

0:25:340:25:41

-Yes, it certainly is

-and this really feels like home.

0:25:410:25:46

-I always get a warm welcome

-whenever I come home.

0:25:460:25:49

-You've been travelling around Wales

-for the third series of Mamwlad.

0:25:500:25:53

-There's six women under

-the spotlight in this series...

0:25:540:25:57

-..and they vary from women in war to

-those who fought for women's rights.

0:25:580:26:05

-Yes, and we try to do something

-different in every series.

0:26:050:26:11

-This time, we've got

-the biggest historic spectrum.

0:26:110:26:16

-We've also delved into medicine

-with the story of Frances Hoggan.

0:26:160:26:21

-Frances was the first woman

-to graduate in medicine in Europe.

0:26:210:26:27

-She had a colourful personal life

-which could surprise our viewers.

0:26:270:26:33

-There's also the story of

-Betsi Cadwaladr, a nurse in Crimea.

0:26:330:26:38

-I wanted to know how a woman

-from Bala ended up in Crimea...

0:26:380:26:42

-..with Florence Nightingale.

0:26:420:26:46

-You can only understand this

-by looking at Betsi's early life.

0:26:460:26:51

-It's amazing

-and that's where we start.

0:26:510:26:58

-My search for the truth

-about Betsi Cadwaladr...

0:26:580:27:01

-..continues at The National Archives

-in London.

0:27:010:27:06

-It's believed to house a document

-written by Betsi's fair hand.

0:27:060:27:11

-She claims to be a 44-year-old

-widow of robust constitution.

0:27:110:27:17

-The last part was certainly true.

0:27:170:27:23

-In truth,

-she was a 64-year-old spinster.

0:27:230:27:27

-There's two musicians

-with Morfydd Llwyn Owen...

0:27:270:27:31

-..and Dora Herbert Jones

-who had a long and interesting life.

0:27:320:27:39

-Mamwlad usually focuses

-on women from history...

0:27:390:27:43

-..but you have a contemporary figure

-in Jennie Eiriau Davies.

0:27:440:27:49

-She was an important part of public

-life in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

0:27:490:27:53

-She was the editor of Y Faner

-but there's more to her than that.

0:27:530:28:01

-It's very dangerous to be unwilling

-to listen to the views of others.

0:28:010:28:07

-She wasn't a genteel Welsh woman

-who focused on Welsh issues.

0:28:080:28:14

-Jennie Eirian would confront

-the establishment if it was wrong.

0:28:140:28:20

-It was great to see the archives and

-see Wales in the 1970s and 1980s.

0:28:210:28:26

-I'm old enough to remember that time

-which was wonderful for me.

0:28:270:28:31

-How does it feel to give these women

-the recognition they deserve?

0:28:310:28:41

-It's very important to do this.

0:28:410:28:45

-History tends to follow royalty and

-Prime Ministers who are often men.

0:28:450:28:51

-We often forget

-the achievements of women...

0:28:510:28:55

-..who often go against the tide

-and live unconventional lives.

0:28:550:29:00

-They are so inspirational.

0:29:000:29:06

-Expectations are high

-for this new series of Mamwlad.

0:29:070:29:12

-All the women sound very interesting

-and I can't wait to hear about them.

0:29:120:29:16

-Thank you for chatting with me.

0:29:160:29:20

-Mamwlad starts on Sunday at 7.30pm.

0:29:230:29:27

-From 10.00am tomorrow, the streets

-of Swansea will be in fine tune...

0:29:270:29:32

-..as the city's Menter Iaith holds

-the annual Gwyl Aber Dewi Festival.

0:29:330:29:39

-There's a fantastic line-up.

0:29:390:29:42

-Organizer, Eleri Griffiths

-encourages us to pay a visit.

0:29:420:29:46

-Welcome to Heno.

0:29:470:29:48

-Thank you.

0:29:480:30:00

-The festival

-was launched last year.

0:30:000:30:05

-Yes. The festival started last year.

0:30:050:30:09

-It was the vision of John Davies.

0:30:090:30:13

-He's a Welsh learner.

0:30:130:30:17

-He wanted to celebrate St David...

0:30:180:30:24

-..in the same way as the Irish

-celebrate St Patrick's Day.

0:30:240:30:31

-Last year was amazing.

0:30:310:30:42

-What can we expect from tomorrow?

0:30:420:30:45

-Tomorrow, we've got three stages.

0:30:450:30:51

-There's one in the centre

-of the town...

0:30:510:30:54

-..and another on Oxford Street.

0:30:540:30:59

-There's the Ospreys choirs.

0:30:590:31:07

-We've got local school children

-taking part.

0:31:070:31:13

-There's an Apprentice Aber Dewi.

0:31:130:31:19

-This is a charity event.

0:31:190:31:23

-There's items on sale...

0:31:230:31:30

-..for people to wear

-in our special parade...

0:31:300:31:34

-..that starts at 3.30pm.

0:31:340:31:41

-It goes all around the city.

0:31:410:31:45

-This is a great event for the city.

0:31:450:31:51

-This is very important for the city.

0:31:510:31:57

-I only remember the fights...

0:31:570:32:03

-..but that's my fault!

0:32:030:32:09

-There are comedians as well.

0:32:090:32:13

-Noel James is going

-to be doing some comedy.

0:32:130:32:15

-He's on tour with us.

0:32:150:32:18

-Enjoy the festival.

0:32:180:32:20

-We stay in Swansea for the story

-of a young girl from the city...

0:32:200:32:24

-..who's representing the Wales Under

-17s netball team in the Europe.

0:32:240:32:28

-Rhian Evans is 14 from Ysgol Gwyr

-and is certainly talented.

0:32:280:32:32

-I represented Wales in cricket and

-played against the English counties.

0:32:400:32:49

-..against Scotland, Ireland

-and England in the Celtic Games.

0:32:500:32:57

-This week, I'm hoping to go to

-Gibraltar to play netball for Wales.

0:32:570:33:05

-I play either the goal attack

-or goal shooter...

0:33:080:33:12

-..and enjoy the positions

-as I get to run around and shoot.

0:33:120:33:17

-We've been training eight hours on a

-Saturday and sometimes on a Sunday.

0:33:170:33:24

-My favourite is netball

-because it's a team sport...

0:33:250:33:30

-..so I can enjoy myself

-with others too.

0:33:300:33:35

-Dad has been my inspiration

-behind getting me into sport.

0:33:350:33:40

-He's given up a lot for me.

0:33:400:33:45

-There's a lot of travelling involved

-in the cricket and athletics...

0:33:450:33:51

-..so I need someone, such as Dad,

-to drive me around!

0:33:510:33:56

-In the future, I'd like to represent

-Wales in the Commonwealth Games...

0:33:560:34:02

-..in either netball or athletics.

0:34:030:34:05

-Wales is set to compete over the

-next couple of days in Gibralter.

0:34:110:34:15

-You can support the girls and watch

-the live games on netballeurope.com

0:34:150:34:20

-Good luck to them all!

0:34:210:34:24

-Still to come

-on tonight's programme...

0:34:240:34:27

-..we join OPRA Cymru in Criccieth on

-their tour of communities in Wales.

0:34:270:34:32

-"Shut the back doors

-and fair play to all."

0:34:320:34:35

-The Eisteddfod is set to start

-at Cardigan with Daf.

0:34:360:34:53

-I should follow that by saying you

-should be quiet!

0:34:530:34:56

-The Hoelion Wyth Eisteddfod is set

-to start shortly at Cardigan Castle.

0:34:560:35:00

-It's time to enjoy more

-of your St David's Day photos.

0:35:000:35:03

-# St David's little things

0:35:040:35:07

-# Not the sound of fire

-but the sound of chords

0:35:070:35:12

-# Not a large oak but small birds

0:35:120:35:17

-# Not the sun and moon

0:35:180:35:22

-# But the sparks of fire

0:35:220:35:28

-# But oh, what a hassle it is

-to try and find a sack

0:35:280:35:33

-# To keep all of the little things #

0:35:340:35:38

-.

-Welcome back to Heno.

0:36:010:36:04

-We're live at Cardigan Castle

-for the Hoelion Wyth Eisteddfod.

0:36:050:36:11

-This is a very historic night.

0:36:110:36:15

-Eifion Evans

-is a member of the Beca branch.

0:36:150:36:27

-It's certainly a historic night.

0:36:270:36:37

-The first Eisteddfod was held here

-over 800 years ago.

0:36:380:36:53

-The society comes together

-twice a year.

0:36:530:36:57

-We have an Eisteddfod in March.

0:36:570:37:02

-There's also a concert

-later in the year.

0:37:020:37:05

-The concert is a fund-raising event.

0:37:050:37:08

-This Eisteddfod

-is always a great event.

0:37:080:37:13

-I'm joined by Eurfyl Lewis.

0:37:130:37:20

-There's many competitions.

0:37:200:37:25

-We've got the best stage

-performance.

0:37:250:37:29

-The award is from Aberborth.

0:37:290:37:39

-There's something

-from the Beca branch...

0:37:390:37:47

-..for the branch

-with the most points.

0:37:470:37:55

-We have a crown for the

-best musician.

0:37:560:38:00

-We don't have a sword...

0:38:010:38:04

-..but have a nail.

0:38:040:38:10

-The nail takes its name from

-our group's name.

0:38:100:38:14

-Lyn Ebenezer belongs

-to the Cors Caron branch.

0:38:140:38:19

-I've won the crown and chair

-in the past.

0:38:200:38:24

-It's a great Eisteddfod.

0:38:240:38:27

-I really enjoy it.

0:38:270:38:37

-It's a mixture of fun and laughter.

0:38:370:38:45

-The judges have a few limericks

-to recite for us.

0:38:450:38:52

-I don't know if I can read

-a lot of the limericks to you.

0:38:520:39:00

-A lot of them are too naughty!

0:39:000:39:03

-Back to you in Llanelli.

0:39:040:39:08

-In 2009, OPRA Cymru was established

-by Patrick and Sioned Young.

0:39:090:39:13

-The married couple were passionate

-about Welsh language opera...

0:39:130:39:17

-..and delivering it

-to the communities of Wales.

0:39:170:39:20

-They're currently on tour

-and we were at the Criccieth leg.

0:39:200:39:24

-We're going on tour

-with the comic opera by Donizetti.

0:39:310:39:38

-The original name

-is L'elisir D'amore.

0:39:380:39:44

-However, our Welsh-language version

-is called Deigryn yn y Dirgel.

0:39:450:39:49

-It's a very poetic title.

0:39:490:39:56

-I've worked with OPRA Cymru before.

0:40:000:40:04

-However, this is a comic opera

-with a love story.

0:40:040:40:08

-The characters have conversions

-so there's a bit of everything!

0:40:080:40:16

-Let me give you a brief outline

-of the story.

0:40:190:40:24

-There's a farmhand who works

-for Adina, the lead character.

0:40:240:40:30

-He's in love with her

-but cannot have her.

0:40:300:40:35

-But a sergeant appears on the scene

-and steals Adina's heart.

0:40:380:40:45

-It's a very complicated story...

0:40:510:40:54

-..but he does get the girl in the

-end and the sergeant loses out.

0:40:540:41:00

-I've worked with OPRA Cymru

-three or four times.

0:41:020:41:08

-There's been a number of changes

-since the 2014 tour.

0:41:120:41:18

-We've got a stage manager, a sound

-assistant and costume assistant.

0:41:180:41:24

-The orchestra has grown from four

-to ten which is a step up for us.

0:41:240:41:28

-Things are progressing with

-OPRA Cymru which is very exciting.

0:41:280:41:34

-I did an audition

-last year for them.

0:41:340:41:38

-Not being a Welsh speaker, they were

-a little concerned initially.

0:41:380:41:42

-Being as I'm Irish

-and we learn Irish at school...

0:41:430:41:46

-..I thought there was a connection

-between the Celtic languages...

0:41:460:41:50

-..but there really

-doesn't seem to be!

0:41:510:41:55

-It's not as difficult because

-it's quite a phonetic language.

0:41:550:42:01

-"It's better for you to go

-to the town to be with the others!"

0:42:010:42:06

-Did that make sense?

0:42:060:42:10

-This is the perfect opera for you

-if you haven't seen an opera before.

0:42:120:42:19

-There's plenty of fun and nobody

-dies so it's an opera for everyone!

0:42:190:42:23

-You can get tickets

-for Deigryn yn y Dirgel...

-# On the waves

0:44:160:44:18

-# With you

0:44:180:44:21
