-There's Welsh delicacies

-and some singing.

0:07:110:07:15

-# Wash me, cleanse me in the blood

-that flowed on Calvary #

0:07:150:07:22

-It's wonderful being a member

-of the London Welsh Choir...

0:07:220:07:27

-..to sing the classical, old

-Welsh hymns and new material too.

0:07:270:07:33

-We had a brilliant response.

0:07:330:07:37

-We're singing today and promoting

0:07:370:07:41

-After 15 years of being in London...

0:07:420:07:45

-..it's great to socialize with

0:08:310:08:35

0:08:370:08:42

-It's a pleasure to invite so many

0:08:430:08:48

-We need to celebrate...

0:08:490:08:52

-..and show that Wales differs from

-the other countries in the UK...

0:08:520:08:56

-..whilst also celebrating

-a united nation.

0:08:560:08:59

-This is a fantastic platform

-for Wales to sell to the world.

0:09:000:09:04

-I'm delighted to have

-the opportunity to be here.

0:09:040:09:07

-You must welcome these celebrations.

0:09:080:09:11

-It's great that Wales

-is being acknowledged as a nation...

0:09:110:09:16

-..with her own patron saint,

-history, language and culture.

0:09:160:09:20

-A group of school children

-from South Wales are singing for us.

0:09:200:09:23

-The Prime Minister can see

-what the nation has to offer....

0:09:240:09:28

-..and sample our wine

-and delicacies.

0:09:280:09:31

-The Welsh don't always

-sing their own praises...

0:09:320:09:36

-..and we need to be more prominent

-as a nation outside of Wales.

0:09:360:09:41

-It's amazing to be here

-to see Heol y March Choir singing.

0:09:420:09:47

0:09:560:10:00

-What do you think

-of 10 Downing Street?

0:10:000:10:02

-Oh, it's posh and it's great to

-think that Theresa May lives here!

0:10:030:10:06

-It's grand, attractive and there's

-a lot of important people here too.

0:10:070:10:14

-This is unforgettable and

-it's taking time for it to sink in.

0:10:140:10:18

-It's very surreal

-and I never expected to be here.

0:10:190:10:24

-It's great to be at 10 Downing

-Street on St David's Day...

0:10:250:10:30

0:11:190:11:22

-# Some live in the countryside

-and others live in the town

0:11:220:11:28

-# And the common trait is that

-we speak the language of Heaven

0:11:280:11:36

-# That we love and can be funny

0:11:360:11:43

-# But there's only one way to say,

-"I love you!"

0:11:440:11:50

-# They hear us across the county

0:11:510:11:54

-# They hear us across the borders

0:11:540:11:58

-# They hear us across the world

0:11:580:12:02

-# Doing all the small things

0:12:020:12:08

-# This is our time

0:12:080:12:15

-# We take strength

-from David's words... #

-The town of Hay-on-Wye is world

-famous as the town of books...

0:13:250:13:28

-..and the interesting history of the

-town dates back before the stores.

0:13:280:13:32

-Hay Castle has seen a lot of trials

-and tribulations over the centuries.

0:13:320:13:37

-The castle has received a lottery

-grant of thousands of pounds...

0:13:370:13:41

-..to create an important

-visitor centre.

0:13:410:13:44

-Rhodri has been to find out more.

0:13:440:13:47

-This site has witnessed many trials

-and tribulations since the Normans.

0:13:510:13:58

-The English attacked the Welsh,

-the Welsh attacked the English...

0:13:580:14:02

-..and the English

-attacked each other!

0:14:020:14:05

-Having said that,

-it wasn't a battle...

0:14:050:14:08

-..but a fire and nature

-that destroyed this site.

0:14:080:14:13

-Today, it's hoped that Hay Castle

-will be restored.

0:14:130:14:18

-This is a Medieval castle

-with a Jacobean mansion...

0:14:210:14:27

-..and everything needs work!

0:14:270:14:31

-There are three storeys.

0:14:330:14:35

-In the middle, we'll build

-an educational centre...

0:14:350:14:40

-..for children and adults.

0:14:400:14:43

-Above this will sit a new gallery

-to exhibit artwork...

0:14:430:14:47

-..and items that are on loan

-from national museums.

0:14:480:14:51

-Underneath us is a space to hold

-lectures, weddings and everything.

0:14:510:14:59

-This beautiful gate dates back

-to the 12th century...

0:15:000:15:04

-..but some parts date back

-to the pre-Norman 10th century.

0:15:050:15:13

-This indicates the sites importance

-throughout the centuries.

0:15:140:15:20

-In the Marches, near the border, the

-barons had specific areas of land.

0:15:210:15:29

-They all got a bit greedy.

0:15:290:15:34

-William de Braose started

-a rebellion against King John.

0:15:340:15:41

-The castle was burnt to the ground

-as his punishment...

0:15:410:15:45

-..but King John wasn't the only one

-to attack this site.

0:15:450:15:48

-Both Llywelyns

-are linked to this site.

0:15:480:15:51

-First, Llywelyn the Great

-attacked the place...

0:15:510:15:55

-..and then Llywelyn, our Last Leader

-before he was killed at Cilmeri.

0:15:550:15:59

-In the 15th century,

-you had the War of the Roses.

0:15:590:16:04

-Owain Glyndwr fought here

-and there was the Civil War too.

0:16:040:16:10

-The castle wasn't needed

-after the Civil War...

0:16:100:16:15

-..so they built a mansion

-that became a luxurious home.

0:16:150:16:21

-In the 1660s,

-they built a mansion on this site.

0:16:240:16:29

-A number of wealthy families lived

-here but it fell into disrepair.

0:16:300:16:36

-It has also experienced many fires.

0:16:360:16:40

-This room is an example of the

-extent of the work that's needed...

0:16:400:16:45

-..to be carried out to rebuild

-and refurbish the original mansion.

0:16:460:16:50

-It's also awash

-with tales and stories.

0:16:500:16:54

-The fireplace dates

-from the Norman era.

0:16:550:16:58

-It's a symbol of fertility

-with a man's head, arms and legs.

0:16:580:17:03

-He's quite a large man!

0:17:060:17:10

-In the 20th century, it was home to

-a man who was important to the town.

0:17:110:17:17

-Richard Booth came here in 1961.

0:17:170:17:20

-He's the reason why Hay is famous

-throughout the world for books.

0:17:200:17:25

-After he purchased the house...

0:17:250:17:30

-..it's thought that every room

-was full of books.

0:17:300:17:35

-By the end of the 20th century...

0:17:350:17:38

-..the town and it's book festival

-was world famous.

0:17:380:17:41

-Visitors and locals

-can be reminded of its history.

0:17:410:17:46

-We want to make the castle the heart

-of the community once again...

0:17:460:17:51

-..and attract visitors to Powys,

-Brecknockshire and Mid Wales.

0:17:510:17:56

-We're on the border but the people

-of Hay are Welsh to the core.

0:17:560:18:01

-When this site opens, I hope it

-celebrates its Welsh connections.

0:18:010:18:07

-I'm sure this will happen

-because Hay is a Welsh town.

0:18:080:18:14

-The musician, Alun 'Sbardun' Huws

-was a member of Tebot Piws...

0:18:230:18:27

-..and is the composer of many

-of Wales's most popular songs...

0:18:280:18:32

-..including Strydoedd Aberstalwm and

-Cwsg Osian from Nia Ben Aur.

0:18:320:18:36

-Sadly, Sbardun passed away in 2014,

-and his widow, Gwenno has decided...

0:18:360:18:41

-..to give his instruments

-to other Welsh musicians.

0:18:420:18:45

-On Tuesday, at the Royal Oak

-in Penrhyndeudraeth...

0:18:460:18:50

-..where the song Strydoedd

-Aberstalwm was immortalized...

0:18:500:18:54

-..Dewi Pws presented Sbardun's banjo

-to musician, Chris Jones.

0:18:540:18:58

-I'm going to cut across

-the glorious sound of the banjo.

0:19:060:19:10

-You've only been playing the banjo

-for six months, Dewi.

0:19:100:19:14

-Yes, but I'm not very good but in

-a fortnight this man will be great!

0:19:140:19:18

-This was Sbardun's banjo and many of

-his instruments have been given out.

0:19:180:19:26

-Yes, a lot of his instruments have

-been given to prominent figures.

0:19:260:19:31

-I was lucky to get this banjo and

-I'd never thought about playing it.

0:19:310:19:37

-Tuds, Ems and Gwenno

-gave me the banjo...

0:19:380:19:42

-..so I went onto YouTube

-to learn how to play it.

0:19:420:19:46

-They gave me

-this "Teach Yourself" book.

0:19:460:19:52

-I wanted something to remember

-Sbardun and his banjo.

0:19:520:19:57

-It isn't the best banjo

-but it's a fantastic place to start.

0:19:570:20:01

-I met Chris at Y Fic in Llithfaen

-and heard him singing.

0:20:010:20:07

-We had a chat and a pint or ten

-and he said he was interested in it.

0:20:070:20:13

-How does it feel

-to be given this banjo?

0:20:130:20:17

-It's a real honour.

0:20:170:20:20

-I've been wanting to learn to play

-the banjo for many years.
