-Hello and welcome to Heno.

-We'll be with you this evening

-until 8.00pm.

-We have a variety of guests

-and stories for you this evening.

-Tonight, we'll be travelling

-around Wales once again.

-From the summit of Snowdon, to

-Cardiff Bay, Llanarth to Maentwrog.

-Let's begin with Gerallt

-in North Wales.

-What do you have for us, Gerallt?

-I'm at the launch of the new album

-by Seindorf Oakley Silver Band.

-I take a look at the preparations

-for the Snowdonia Marathon.

-Where is Yvonne tonight?

-I'm at the Llanina Arms Hotel

-in Llanarth...

-..for the RABI Ceredigion

-annual dinner.

-It's set to be a great evening.

-Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff

-Bay is full of stars this weekend.

-You may recognize some

-of the familiar faces!

-Join me, Rhydian as we celebrate ten

-years of the Wales Millennium Centre

-If you haven't purchased a Halloween

-costume yet don't worry...

-..as Huw Rees is here

-with a full studio of choices.

-Our studio guest this evening

-is a good friend of the programme.

-Welcome to the programme,

-Gwenda Owen.

-We look forward to our chat.

-We start the programme by

-remembering musician and composer...

-..Alun 'Sbardun' Huws,

-who passed away last year.

-Tomorrow, a memorial is held at

-his home town of Penrhyndeudraeth.

-His friends and Welsh musicians will

-come together for a special concert.

-There's also an official opening of

-a new room at the memorial hall...

-..to remember

-this talented gentleman.

-# Between the sea and mountain

-a long time ago #

-Sbardun was born and raised at

-Penrhyn and he loved the place.

-He was brought up in a cultured home

-and it's quite evident...

-..that he was steeped in the

-performing arts from a young age.

-The Penrhyndeudraeth area

-was his biggest inspiration.

-He took ideas from local characters,

-his early life experiences...

-..and most importantly, his musical

-influences.

-He watched several live music gigs

-at Penrhyn Hall.

-It's strange to think that in our

-youth, this was a musical Mecca.

-World-famous artists like

-Van Morrison came here.

-I can see Sbardun standing

-right in front of the stage...

-..eyes like saucers,

-watching these people play.

-That's where it all started.

-The young rocker stepped onto many

-stages with bands like Ac Eraill...

-..Mynediad Am Ddim and Tebot Piws.

-Tebot Piws played their last

-concert in this hall in 2011.

-It was a memorable evening.

-I'd like to say how much of an

-honour it is to be here tonight...

-..singing at Penrhyn.

-It's been a strange year

-since we lost him.

-We had the funeral

-and then the memorial concert...

-..which was one of the hardest gigs

-I ever did.

-Gwenno asked me to sing Strydoedd

-Aberstalwm but it wasn't easy.

-Seeing his friends gathered in the

-literature tent was overwhelming.

-There were hundreds outside

-who couldn't get seats...

-..which went to show how respected

-and admired he was.

-We were touched that so many people

-came to celebrate his life and work.

-He made such an enormous

-contribution to Welsh culture...

-..from his songs to his

-programmes and films.

-We are very proud that people want

-to celebrate it.

-His widow decided that donations

-in his memory would be collected...

-..for the Hall here at Penrhyn.

-We used the money to set aside

-a room in the hall.

-He'd be thrilled that

-there was a Sbardun room.

-I think he'd say it was nonsense

-but would be quietly delighted.

-He'd say quietly that the room

-upstairs belonged to him!

-We'll be at Penrhyn on Saturday

-to celebrate and remember him.

-We'll open the room

-and hold a concert in the evening.

-If we'd included everyone who wanted

-to come it would be a 3-day event.

-We've chosen people like Ac Eraill,

-Tecwyn Ifan, Iestyn Garlick...

-..Tebot Piws and Bryn Fon.

-Bryn Fon is the one who's brought

-his songs to recognition.

-It will be a good evening

-but an emotional one.

-It will be a fantastic evening

-with laughter and tears.

-It should be a great day there

-tomorrow.

-October is earmarked as

-Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

-Fifteen years ago, Gwenda Owen

-was diagnosed with the illness.

-Welcome to the programme.

-You are here to tell how important

-it is to have a month like this.

-It's hard to believe that its

-15 years since my diagnosis.

-It is so important

-to raise awareness.

-The doctor who treated me said

-that the only way forward...

-..was to research

-into chemotherapy.

-When I was diagnosed, people

-couldn't say the word cancer.

-People still find it difficult.

-People ask how I'm feeling

-and I feel very good.

-I have regular check ups

-and I'm still clear...

-..but it never leaves you.

-You always wonder whether

-it will come back somewhere else.

-It can strike anyone, any time.

-Let's see a clip of you discussing

-the moment you received the news.

-When they told me...

-..it felt like I'd just been hit

-by a load of concrete blocks.

-I couldn't believe it.

-I had a mobile phone in the car.

-I grabbed the phone and told my

-mother that I had the same as her.

-But I told her

-that I was going to get better.

-That's all I could think about.

-I can remember pulling up

-outside the house...

-..and everyone was waiting for me

-outside the front door.

-We all cried

-and it felt like a nightmare.

-When something like this happens...

-..you think the world

-is coming to an end.

-It's not the end and there is always

-some light at the end of the tunnel.

-That bring a tear back to the eye.

-It takes me straight back.

-I had chemotherapy

-to shrink the tumour at the time.

-I was only 33 at the time.

-We were in the process

-of renovating the house.

-I felt a pain in the breast

-which made me go to the doctor.

-We caught it early.

-Go and get it checked.

-It's best to check

-and find out you were wrong.

-I had cancer in the breast lobe.

-They gave me a cocktail

-of three drugs in the chemotherapy.

-I told them my life was in their

-hands and that I'd take their advice

-You have to talk about it.

-We all know someone

-who has been affected.

-I've lost friends to the disease.

-Singing helped me.

-I picked up my guitar

-between treatments.

-I think being able to talk

-has helped.

-I hope it has helped

-others to hear me talk.

-The day I had surgery there

-was a little lady beside me.

-She told me not to cry and said

-that illness teaches you to live.

-It was very true.

-Last night, you may remember

-we congratulated Aled Sion Davies...

-..who has been competing in the

-IPC Athletics World Championships.

-Aled won a gold medal

-in the Men's Shot Put Final.

-Today, we received a special

-video message from Aled.

-Hello, I'm Aled Davies.

-I'm the 2015 World Champion,

-which sounds incredible to say!

-It was a very long and warm day and

-the competition was very difficult.

-However, I'm very happy to bring

-the gold medal back to Wales.

-Thanks to everyone for their support

-in Britain and especially in Wales.

-I hope I've done everyone proud.

-Congratulations to Aled.

-After the break,

-we head to Plas Tan y Bwlch...

-..where Gerallt and the Oakley

-Silver Band will be waiting for us.

-Yvonne is at a special dinner

-in Llanarth for the RABI charity...

-..which helps

-farmers and farmhands.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Next, we join Gerallt

-at Plas Tan y Bwlch in Maentwrog.

-He's there at the CD launch

-of one of Wales' best bands.

-Good evening, Gerallt.

-There's a great crowd here for the

-concert.

-John Glyn, well done for winning at

-Meifod.

-It was the icing on the cake.

-Was it a challenge to find the

-tracks to put on the album?

-Yes, it was but we wanted a variety

-for the listeners.

-I have been a member of the band

-since the age of twelve.

-I play in the background.

-My aunty June helped me

-and better than John!

-This is a former band member.

-The band is also 150 years old.

-I was a member four years ago.

-I had so many great memories

-that I bought a poem for the band.

-This poem will be exhibited at the

-with the band.

-It will certainly continue in the

-future.

-Are you ready for a song, John?

-In July, Daf Wyn visited the village

-of Wolfscastle in Pembrokeshire...

-..during the judging of the

-Wales in Bloom competition.

-They won the Welsh competition.

-The recently attended the ceremony

-for Britain in Bloom in Sunderland.

-They won the Gold prize for Wales

-and won the Britain in Bloom award.

-Wolfscastle has won the Wales

-This year, we were invited

-to represent Wales...

-..in the Britain in Bloom

-competition.

-This is the second time we've

-competed in this competition.

-We first competed five years ago

-and finished in joint-second place.

-This year, we won the main award

-and we're very proud.

-As the headteacher

-of Wolfscastle School...

-..I'm proud that we've won

-this award again, this year.

-We were proud to receive

-the gold medal...

-..and finish ahead of the

-three other villages.

-Towards the end of the night, I was

-shocked to see my name on a screen.

-I had won the

-Community Champion Award.

-However, I must thank the pupils.

-During the day of the judging, they

-said some wonderful things about me.

-They impressed the judges

-so I'm very grateful to them.

-I'd like to thank the villagers of

-Wolfscastle for all their hard work.

-It's been a very busy year

-for the village...

-..and we're now looking forward

-to the following year.

-Some claim that they don't want to

-compete but we have to keep going.

-Well done, Miss

-and well done to Wolfscastle.

-CHEERS

-Congratulations to them...

-..and thanks to the Wolfscastle

-school pupils for their welcome.

-I'm sure they're all watching

-tonight's Heno.

-Next, we head to Llanarth

-in Ceredigion.

-On Wednesday,

-I returned to an event in Crymych...

-represent farmers and farm workers.

-That's exactly why Yvonne

-is in Llanina Arms tonight.

-It's an important evening.

-It's the RABI Ceredigion annual

-dinner.

-It's a charity for farmers.

-Linda can tell us more

-about the charity.

-Rabi means Royal Agricultural

-Benevolent Institution.

-It's a mouthful which is

-why we shorten it to RABI.

-It has been going

-for over 150 years.

-We know what we're doing now!

-My main task is to raise

-awareness of our work...

-..so that farmers know

-that there is support for them.

-Welcome back.

-Every night this week,

-we've seen the video diary...

-..of Stephen Edwards

-and Alan Owen...

-..as they took on the challenge

-of six marathons in six days.

-The pair have completed five

-along the Snowdon Marathon track.

-They aim to raise money

-cancer treatment.

-The Snowdon Marathon

-takes place tomorrow.

-This morning, Gerallt caught

-up with Stephen and Alan.

-Llanberis has been the start point

-for Stephen and Aled all this week.

-The support for them has been

-great especially on cold mornings.

-This is your fifth marathon

-and you've enjoyed them all.

-We've kept on laughing

-and trying to stay mentally strong.

-It's quite a challenge to run this

-distance so we need to keep strong.

-It's been nice to run

-the other way around.

-You reach a point

-and you head down to Beddgelert.

-Your feet have needed

-a lot more attention.

-I've routinely rubbed Vaseline on

-Good luck for today and tomorrow.

-Ysgol Dolbadarn

-are out in force to support.

-Thanks for your support too.

-to cross Bwlch y Groes.

-I chatted to two of them about their

-hopes for the Snowdonia Marathon.

-Keep going lads!

-It's pretty rough!

-This is the first marathon I've run.

-I don't know why I chose the

-Snowdonia marathon...

-Perhaps it was so that it would

-put me off running forever!

-I work for Cwmni Da in Caernarfon so

-can go out running at lunchtime.

-It helps with the training.

-The weekends have been taken up

-with running longer distances.

-I've heard that this is one of

-the hardest marathons in Europe...

-..which is why I chose it over

-London which is quite flat.

-I wanted the challenge

-of hill running.

-The Snowdon Race is tough but

-this will be a bigger challenge.

-I just want to get to the end

-as I then have to go into work...

-..to work on the Marathon Eryri

-programme - nice!

-I'm a PE teacher

-at Ysgol Meirionnydd.

-I've been training during my lunch

-hour on the school grounds...

-..or over at Porthmadog.

-The children are helping me train.

-I was second in the marathon

-back in 2009...

-..and in 2013 I came fifth.

-I've found it harder

-as the years have gone on.

-This year I want to improve

-my time and my position...

-..but it all depends who is running.

-Some 2,500 runners will run

-the Snowdonia Marathon...

-..and registering for it

-started lunchtime today.

-This is the starting point and we

-wish the runners the best of luck.

-Congratulations to Stephen Edwards

-and Alan Owen.

-Running six marathons in six days

-have been quite a feat...

-..and many people agree with me.

-I know Steve and Alan well

-and they've done superbly.

-I could do it for one day but

-I couldn't wake the next morning...

-..and run another marathon.

-I take my hat off to them

-for running six in six days.

-It's quite a challenge.

-The highlights of

-the Snowdon Marathon...

-..can be seen on S4C

-this Sunday at 10.30pm.
