0:01:32 > 0:01:36- What a magic welcome! - CROWD CHEERS

0:01:37 > 0:01:42You know, so much has changed since I was in Treorchy last.

0:01:42 > 0:01:47- These houses weren't here for a start. - LAUGHTER

0:01:50 > 0:01:53But I can remember as if it was yesterday

0:01:53 > 0:01:57the first time I came to Treorchy... the first time I came to the Rhondda

0:01:57 > 0:02:00- was to open an old people's home. - LAUGHTER

0:02:00 > 0:02:04And I said, "They won't know me in the Rhondda."

0:02:04 > 0:02:06This old lady came out on a Zimmer

0:02:06 > 0:02:08and I said, "Excuse me, do you know who I am?"

0:02:08 > 0:02:14- "No", she said, "but if you ask the Matron, she'll tell you." - LAUGHTER

0:02:16 > 0:02:19When you get older, the first thing that goes is your memory.

0:02:19 > 0:02:24My pal Ron said, "I'm the same, Max. I can't remember anything.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27"I can't remember where my car keys are, where my phone is,

0:02:27 > 0:02:30"I can't remember where I went on holidays last year.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31"I can't remember."

0:02:31 > 0:02:36He said, "What's the name of that leafy stuff that grows around the chimneys of old manor houses?"

0:02:36 > 0:02:40I said, "Ivy?" "That's it! Ivy, where did we go on holiday last year?"

0:02:40 > 0:02:42LAUGHTER

0:02:42 > 0:02:44And talking...

0:02:45 > 0:02:49..talking about last year, hasn't the year gone like that?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51It's gone like that.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55When you get older, time is the most precious thing known to us.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Do you know, you good folk of Treorchy,

0:02:58 > 0:03:03nearly eight years have passed since the English rugby team

0:03:03 > 0:03:05won the World Cup in Australia?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08CROWD BOOS

0:03:08 > 0:03:13- I was really pleased for them(!) - LAUGHTER

0:03:16 > 0:03:22I am not one of these narrow-minded one-eyed West Walians!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24LAUGHTER

0:03:24 > 0:03:27I was pleased for them. I was really pleased for them.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Do you remember the homecoming? Who can forget the homecoming?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Those two open top buses down The Strand,

0:03:34 > 0:03:36going down Oxford Street, down Regent Street,

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Sir Clive Woodward holding the holy grail of rugby above his head,

0:03:40 > 0:03:47500,000 people - half a million people there to welcome the returning heroes,

0:03:47 > 0:03:51bank managers, solicitors and lawyers leaving their offices,

0:03:51 > 0:03:56leaving their laptops behind, coming out in their red braces,

0:03:56 > 0:04:00their faces daubed with the red and white cross of St George,

0:04:00 > 0:04:04singing Jerusalem and Swing Low Sweet Chariots.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- When I saw that, I thought to myself, how childish! - LAUGHTER

0:04:10 > 0:04:13APPLAUSE

0:04:18 > 0:04:22If Wales won the World Cup we wouldn't do anything like that!

0:04:24 > 0:04:30- Two open top buses? We'd have 200 open top buses! - CROWD CHEERS

0:04:30 > 0:04:35And those buses that weren't open, we'd have welders working three shifts...

0:04:37 > 0:04:41..to burn the top off any bus that wasn't open.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44But can you imagine if Wales won the World Cup?

0:04:44 > 0:04:51Can you imagine if James Hook dropped a goal in the dying seconds to win it for Wales?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Can you imagine? They'd make a 60 foot Grogg of him.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57LAUGHTER

0:04:58 > 0:05:02His mother's home help would get the OBE.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04LAUGHTER

0:05:07 > 0:05:11And the osprey would become a protected species.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13LAUGHTER

0:05:13 > 0:05:18But can you imagine...can you imagine if Wales won the World Cup?

0:05:18 > 0:05:23There'd be a free 365-page colour supplement in the Western Mail.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Children would have a year off school.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30LAUGHTER

0:05:31 > 0:05:33And the Pope would visit Cwmparc!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36LAUGHTER

0:05:37 > 0:05:39APPLAUSE

0:05:42 > 0:05:49Can you imagine if Shane Williams scored a try in the dying seconds to win it for Wales?

0:05:49 > 0:05:53He'd be met off the plane...he'd be met of the plane at Heathrow

0:05:53 > 0:05:57and driven home down the M4 on the back of a golf buggy!

0:05:57 > 0:05:59LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:06:04 > 0:06:07With JPR Williams riding shotgun!

0:06:12 > 0:06:17But I don't think...I don't think we'll ever win the World Cup.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19CROWD SIGHS

0:06:19 > 0:06:24The last...well, the last time, out in France, we lost to Fiji.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29And England nearly won it again. They played really well.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31And they came home on a special plane -

0:06:31 > 0:06:36a special Boeing 747 called Sweet Chariot.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Wales came back on a plane called Never Mind.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42LAUGHTER

0:06:44 > 0:06:49And it all started to unravel when we decided to have a friendly

0:06:49 > 0:06:51against England at Twickenham as a warm up.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54How can you have a friendly against England?

0:06:54 > 0:06:57And we lost 62-5!

0:06:58 > 0:07:03And it's not, you know...it's not the losing to England I hate.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08What I hate is the time still left in a game

0:07:08 > 0:07:11in which you know you're going to lose to England.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13LAUGHTER

0:07:13 > 0:07:17You're sat there and there's nothing you can do about it

0:07:17 > 0:07:19and that time is endless.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Play is going on but time isn't passing.

0:07:23 > 0:07:28I just want to leave the ground and join some silent order.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32And sell perfume on Caldey Island.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34LAUGHTER

0:07:36 > 0:07:39And never be seen or spoken of ever again,

0:07:39 > 0:07:41but you can't, you've got to stay there.

0:07:41 > 0:07:47Over the tannoy came this announcement. "Attention, please. Attention, please.

0:07:47 > 0:07:52"Would Mr Morgan of 23, Tir y Dail Terrace, Ystradfellta,

0:07:52 > 0:07:58"go immediately to ground entrance two where his father has suffered a severe cardiac arrest?"

0:07:58 > 0:08:01This bloke got up, ashen-faced, and started to walk out.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05The bloke next to me said to me, "Some people get all the luck!"

0:08:05 > 0:08:08LAUGHTER

0:08:13 > 0:08:17To think, on the day, I nearly didn't go.

0:08:17 > 0:08:23I didn't have a ticket. But lucky, lucky, last minute, my uncle died.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25LAUGHTER

0:08:28 > 0:08:33But the trouble was, the funeral was arranged the same time as the game.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36I couldn't go to both.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39I didn't have a ticket for the funeral.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41LAUGHTER

0:08:42 > 0:08:44So I went to the match.

0:08:44 > 0:08:49I thought, the least I can do, when I come back, I'll ask how the funeral went.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- When we came back on the Thursday... - LAUGHTER

0:08:55 > 0:08:57I said, "Shwt a'th yr angladd?"

0:08:57 > 0:09:00"Max", he said, "don't talk.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04"I haven't been able to sleep since. Nobody has."

0:09:04 > 0:09:06"What happened?", I said.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10"They put Billy Williams in charge of funeral arrangements", he said.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15"He haven't done anything like that before. He's only on a YTS scheme."

0:09:15 > 0:09:18LAUGHTER

0:09:18 > 0:09:20"What happened?", I said.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24"You're supposed to at least show compassion.

0:09:24 > 0:09:29"This poor man had come to pay his last respects, he wasn't fit to be out.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33"He hadn't been out for months, but he came, whare teg. He came to pay his last respects."

0:09:33 > 0:09:38His skin was like parchment paper, his eyes were sunk in his head,

0:09:38 > 0:09:44his coat just hung on him and he stood over the grave in this biting wind

0:09:44 > 0:09:48and Billy said, "Hey, butt, how old are you?"

0:09:48 > 0:09:51HEAVY BREATHING

0:09:52 > 0:09:58- HE WHEEZES:- "I'm a hundred... I'm a hundred and seven", he said.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00"I'm a hundred and seven."

0:10:00 > 0:10:04And Billy said, "It's hardly worth you going home."

0:10:04 > 0:10:07LAUGHTER

0:10:09 > 0:10:11APPLAUSE

0:10:13 > 0:10:15And worse was to follow.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18He said, "You know your uncle was cremated?"

0:10:18 > 0:10:21He said, "I can't believe they did it.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24"They were taking the ashes in the hearse...they were taking the ashes

0:10:24 > 0:10:28"slowly up the mountain, up to the Addoldy Chapel,

0:10:28 > 0:10:31"they were taking the ashes slowly up in the hearse

0:10:31 > 0:10:34"and that weekend there was a lot of black ice on the road,

0:10:34 > 0:10:37"the back wheels of the hearse were skidding

0:10:37 > 0:10:39"and Billy Williams, he used the ashes..."

0:10:40 > 0:10:44LAUGHTER

0:10:51 > 0:10:54I said, "Where is he now?" "He's on a roundabout in Abergavenny."

0:10:54 > 0:10:57LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:11:15 > 0:11:22On the album I recorded some songs about going to Scotland, The Scottish Trip,

0:11:22 > 0:11:26and I've also written about going to Twickenham and France.

0:11:26 > 0:11:31But a trip in recent times that's been so popular is the trip to Rome to play Italy

0:11:31 > 0:11:36and I was there two years ago and I went to Pompeii.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38I visited the little village of Pompeii

0:11:38 > 0:11:43where all was destroyed by the earthquake and volcano in 79AD.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46I was walking around and I met up with these two boys

0:11:46 > 0:11:51from Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales - Dylan and Siriol.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53LAUGHTER

0:11:56 > 0:11:59And we were chatting in Welsh.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03Blaenau Ffestiniog is a little village tucked away at the foot

0:12:03 > 0:12:07of the old, now disused Dinorwic slate quarries in North Wales.

0:12:07 > 0:12:12We were chatting in Welsh and this American tourist came over with a guide book

0:12:12 > 0:12:15and he said, "Where you guys from?

0:12:15 > 0:12:18"That's a neat accent. Where you guys from?"

0:12:18 > 0:12:22And Dylan said, "Blaenau Ffestiniog."

0:12:28 > 0:12:32And the American said, "What state is that in?" "Same state as Pompeii."

0:12:32 > 0:12:35LAUGHTER

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Anyway, this is...

0:12:40 > 0:12:44No, it's a lovely village. Some of my best friends are there.

0:12:44 > 0:12:49This is a little song...you won't know this song. It's not on the Live At Treorchy album

0:12:49 > 0:12:51because I only wrote it last year.

0:12:51 > 0:12:56It's got as little chorus, right, and the words are... it's about the Italy trip,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59"Yes, we'll all come to hear the story,

0:12:59 > 0:13:01"singing calon lan yn llawn daioni,

0:13:01 > 0:13:04"oh, it's good to see the glory that was Rome."

0:13:04 > 0:13:07We'll try it till we get it right, OK?

0:13:14 > 0:13:20# Yes, we'll all come to hear the story

0:13:20 > 0:13:24- # Singing... - CROWD:- Calon lan yn llawn daioni

0:13:24 > 0:13:30# Oh, it's good to see the glory that was Rome. #

0:13:31 > 0:13:34OK, you've got it.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36This is the trip to Rome.

0:13:39 > 0:13:44- # Well, Rome still looks the same... - LAUGHTER

0:13:47 > 0:13:51# Well, Rome still looks the same

0:13:51 > 0:13:55# As I step down from the plane

0:13:55 > 0:13:58# And there to meet me was the Pope

0:13:58 > 0:14:02- # The holy papa... - LAUGHTER

0:14:02 > 0:14:07# And he told the boys he was glad to see them

0:14:07 > 0:14:12# He took them on a tour of the Colosseum

0:14:12 > 0:14:18# Oh, it's good to see the glory that was Rome

0:14:19 > 0:14:24# Yes, we'll all come to hear the story

0:14:24 > 0:14:28- # Singing... - CROWD:- Calon lan yn llawn daioni

0:14:28 > 0:14:34# Oh, it's good to see the glory that was Rome

0:14:37 > 0:14:41# When we reached St Peter's Square

0:14:41 > 0:14:45# There were thousands gathered there

0:14:45 > 0:14:51# And we waited for the holy father's blessing

0:14:53 > 0:14:58# And he prayed there for the simple reason

0:14:58 > 0:15:02# They hadn't won a game all season

0:15:02 > 0:15:07# No, it's good to see the glory that was Rome

0:15:09 > 0:15:14# Yes, we'll all come to hear the story

0:15:14 > 0:15:18# Singing calon lan yn llawn daioni

0:15:18 > 0:15:25# Oh, it's good to see the glory that was Rome

0:15:27 > 0:15:30# And I bought some souvenirs

0:15:30 > 0:15:35# Some coins and Roman spears

0:15:35 > 0:15:41# And a paint by numbers Sistine Chapel ceiling

0:15:41 > 0:15:43LAUGHTER

0:15:43 > 0:15:48# And I bought myself old Italian beers

0:15:48 > 0:15:52# And a bottle of the Virgin Mary's tears

0:15:52 > 0:15:58# It's good to see the glory that was Rome

0:15:58 > 0:16:04# Yes, we'll all come to hear the story

0:16:04 > 0:16:08- # Singing... - CROWD:- Calon lan yn llawn daioni

0:16:08 > 0:16:14# Oh, it's good to see the glory that was Rome

0:16:16 > 0:16:21# Near Flaminio's little ground

0:16:21 > 0:16:25# An Irish bar we found

0:16:25 > 0:16:31# And I worried with the bar bill slowly mounting

0:16:33 > 0:16:37# Till I saw the boys there slowly counting

0:16:37 > 0:16:42# All the coins they'd nicked from the Trevi Fountain

0:16:42 > 0:16:47# Oh, it's good to see the glory that was Rome

0:16:48 > 0:16:54# Yes, we'll all come to hear the story

0:16:54 > 0:16:58- # Singing... - CROWD:- Calon lan yn llawn daioni

0:16:58 > 0:17:03# It's good to see the glory that was Rome

0:17:07 > 0:17:11# Our flight back home's delayed

0:17:11 > 0:17:14# The Pope was so dismayed

0:17:14 > 0:17:21# He was on our flight and he looked so disappointed

0:17:23 > 0:17:27# He said we could be here till Monday

0:17:27 > 0:17:31# And they want me on Scrum V on Sunday

0:17:31 > 0:17:38# Oh, it's good to see the glory that was Rome

0:17:39 > 0:17:43# And we'll all come to hear the story

0:17:43 > 0:17:48- # Singing... - CROWD:- Calon lan yn llawn daioni

0:17:48 > 0:17:53# It's good to see the glory

0:17:53 > 0:17:59# That was Rome. #

0:17:59 > 0:18:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:18:06 > 0:18:08You sang that well.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20Can I introduce you now to a great writer

0:18:20 > 0:18:25and a great musician and a great friend and a great poet.

0:18:25 > 0:18:30He wrote the amazing, successful High Hopes and Satellite City

0:18:30 > 0:18:34so please give a big warm welcome to Boyd Clack.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37APPLAUSE

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Thank you very much.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49It's a pleasure to be here this evening.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50I've known Max for some time,

0:18:50 > 0:18:54I've admired his work for even longer than that

0:18:54 > 0:19:00and it's quite a privilege to be asked to read some of his poetic lyrics this evening.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Erm, the first one I'm going to read

0:19:03 > 0:19:07was a song from his seminal album, Live at Treorchy.

0:19:08 > 0:19:099-3.

0:19:10 > 0:19:16T'was on a dark and dismal day in a week that had seen rain

0:19:16 > 0:19:20when all roads led to Stradey Park with the All Blacks here again.

0:19:20 > 0:19:25They poured down from the valleys, they came from far and wide,

0:19:25 > 0:19:29there were 20,000 in the ground and me and Dai outside.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31LAUGHTER

0:19:31 > 0:19:36The shops were closed like Sunday and the streets were silent still

0:19:36 > 0:19:40and those who chose to stay away were either dead or ill.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45But those who went to Stradey Park will remember till they die

0:19:45 > 0:19:50how New Zealand were defeated and how the pubs ran dry.

0:19:50 > 0:19:55Aye, the beer flowed at Stradey, piped down from Felinfoel

0:19:55 > 0:19:58and the hands that held the glasses high

0:19:58 > 0:20:01were strong from steel and coal.

0:20:01 > 0:20:06The air was filled with singing and I heard a grown man cry -

0:20:06 > 0:20:10not because we'd won but because the pubs ran dry.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15Then dawned the morning after on empty factories

0:20:15 > 0:20:20for we were still at Stradey, bloodshot absentees.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24But we all had doctor's papers and they all said just the same,

0:20:24 > 0:20:28that we all had scarlet fever and we caught it at the game.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30LAUGHTER

0:20:30 > 0:20:34Now all the little babies in Llanelli from now on

0:20:34 > 0:20:39will be christened Roy or Carwyn, Derek, Delme, Phil or John.

0:20:39 > 0:20:45And in a hundred years again they'll sing a song for me

0:20:45 > 0:20:52when they scoreboard read Llanelli nine, Seland Newydd three.

0:20:52 > 0:20:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:20:53 > 0:20:58And when I'm old and my hair turns grey

0:20:58 > 0:21:01and they put me in a chair,

0:21:01 > 0:21:05I'll tell my great grandchildren that their Tadcu was there.

0:21:05 > 0:21:10And they'll ask to hear the story of that damp October day

0:21:10 > 0:21:15when I went down to Stradey to see the Scarlets play.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Thank you.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:30 > 0:21:34Talking...talking about World Cups, you know,

0:21:34 > 0:21:40the World Cup I enjoyed, '95 in South Africa at Ellis Park.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43South Africa and New Zealand in the final.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46And, for me, a humble valley boy like myself,

0:21:46 > 0:21:50to meet President Mandela, the greatest man I've ever met,

0:21:50 > 0:21:53the privilege of meeting that man

0:21:53 > 0:21:56and seeing him at the end of the game,

0:21:56 > 0:21:59to see him holding the World Cup above his head

0:21:59 > 0:22:03and all the rainbow coloured people, all of them singing...

0:22:03 > 0:22:08# Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrica

0:22:08 > 0:22:13# Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrica... #

0:22:13 > 0:22:17I bloody cried, boys. I was so emotional.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20I cried like the rain... because I'd backed New Zealand at 11-2(!)

0:22:20 > 0:22:22LAUGHTER

0:22:26 > 0:22:31But it was a triumph. Those who went, it was a triumph.

0:22:31 > 0:22:37They wanted it to work... the rainbow coloured people wanted it to work for their president.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39It was such a triumph for them.

0:22:39 > 0:22:44For Wales it was a disaster. We lost to Ireland in the first round.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47People were asking me, was I disappointed we lost to Ireland?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50I didn't mind losing to Ireland. At least I knew where it was.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52LAUGHTER

0:22:54 > 0:22:5920 years ago we were losing to places and people I'd never heard of!

0:22:59 > 0:23:01We lost one game to a passer by.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03LAUGHTER

0:23:07 > 0:23:10And she hadn't been playing rugby very long.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12LAUGHTER

0:23:13 > 0:23:19Before we went, we had all these inoculations for cholera and typhoid and yellow fever.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23We said, we'll follow the side for as long as we're in the competition.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26We went out on the Monday, we were back on the Friday.

0:23:26 > 0:23:27LAUGHTER

0:23:29 > 0:23:33I still had three boxes of malaria tablets.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39And once you start the course, you've got to finish it(!)

0:23:39 > 0:23:43It was so embarrassing. I was in the Brecon Beacons

0:23:43 > 0:23:47in a howling blizzard, up to here in snow, taking malaria tablets.

0:23:47 > 0:23:48LAUGHTER

0:23:53 > 0:23:57And the World Cup before that, we lost to Western Samoa!

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Nobody knew where that was.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01And we lost to them in Cardiff,

0:24:01 > 0:24:06yet we beat them in Western Samoa on this sun-baked ground fringed by palm trees.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10I rung home, my mother answered the phone, "Helo, bach, shwt wyt ti?"

0:24:10 > 0:24:13"OK, Mam." "Where are you?" I said, "I'm in Western Samoa."

0:24:13 > 0:24:17"What's it like there?" "Mam, it's 130 in the shade."

0:24:17 > 0:24:20"Oh, stay out of the shade whatever you do!", she said.

0:24:20 > 0:24:21LAUGHTER

0:24:26 > 0:24:31And now I want to introduce you to a hugely talented young lad and such a lovely boy as well.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34You've probably seen him on Britain's Got Talent.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36He even sung at Michael Jackson's funeral.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39A warm welcome to Shaheen Jafargholi.

0:24:39 > 0:24:40APPLAUSE

0:25:03 > 0:25:07# Beside the sea

0:25:07 > 0:25:11# Red roses growing

0:25:11 > 0:25:15# Beside the sea

0:25:35 > 0:25:39# Beside the sea

0:25:39 > 0:25:43# The stones lie scattered

0:25:43 > 0:25:47# Where tender words

0:25:47 > 0:25:51# Of love were uttered

0:25:51 > 0:25:55# While all around

0:25:55 > 0:26:00# There grew the lily

0:26:00 > 0:26:04# And sweet branches

0:26:04 > 0:26:07# Of rosemary

0:26:08 > 0:26:12# Ar lan y mor

0:26:59 > 0:27:04# All things fairest

0:27:04 > 0:27:11# Beside the sea

0:27:12 > 0:27:14# I found

0:27:14 > 0:27:20# My dearest

0:27:22 > 0:27:28# Beside the sea

0:27:28 > 0:27:36# I found my dearest

0:27:36 > 0:27:40# Oooooh. #

0:27:40 > 0:27:42APPLAUSE

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Diolch. It's, erm...

0:28:03 > 0:28:05..it's magic being here on St David's Day.

0:28:05 > 0:28:10Normally, I'm not in Wales, I'm all over the world.

0:28:10 > 0:28:14Last year I was in France speaking to the Paris Welsh Society.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16I was in this lovely restaurant...

0:28:16 > 0:28:19lovely French restaurant called La Maison Bleue.

0:28:19 > 0:28:25A beautiful restaurant in one of the great culinary capitals of the world.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28There was all this wonderful food,

0:28:28 > 0:28:31but there, in the middle... Welsh water.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Oh, it was so...

0:28:34 > 0:28:38When I'm away I get very emotional. Welsh water.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42I looked... "Mon ami. Aqua, pays de Galles."

0:28:42 > 0:28:44LAUGHTER

0:28:48 > 0:28:53And on the label it said...it was Swn y Nant, the water was called.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55"Sound of the brook."

0:28:55 > 0:29:00I read the label and it said, this water first fell as soft rain

0:29:00 > 0:29:04in the lower reaches of the Brecon Beacons in the Black Mountains

0:29:04 > 0:29:07and for 500 billion years...

0:29:10 > 0:29:14..it filtered down through layers of millstone, grit and sandstone

0:29:14 > 0:29:17to be at your table today.

0:29:17 > 0:29:21And underneath it said, best before February 4th.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23LAUGHTER

0:29:23 > 0:29:26APPLAUSE

0:29:30 > 0:29:34500 billion years it had been filtering down

0:29:34 > 0:29:37and I got there three days too late(!)

0:29:37 > 0:29:41Dinosaurs could drink out of it and I couldn't. It had gone off.

0:29:41 > 0:29:47Can you imagine what the Rhondda bus had been like 500 billion years ago?

0:29:48 > 0:29:50Wooly mammoths were roaming the mountains.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54- People on from Treherbert... - LAUGHER

0:29:54 > 0:29:58..were hunting them for their wool to take to Polikoff's to make suits for them.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00LAUGHTER

0:30:02 > 0:30:05People from Ferndale were coming down from the trees

0:30:05 > 0:30:07and learning to walk upright.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09LAUGHTER

0:30:10 > 0:30:13And Treorchy were unbeaten!

0:30:13 > 0:30:15CROWD CHEERS

0:30:15 > 0:30:18APPLAUSE

0:30:23 > 0:30:27And now I'd like to introduce you to one of Wales' finest young singers.

0:30:27 > 0:30:30She's a lovely girl with a wonderful voice. Please welcome Fflur Wyn.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32APPLAUSE

0:30:40 > 0:30:45As Max has been telling us since 1973,

0:30:45 > 0:30:47here in Wales we do love singing

0:30:47 > 0:30:50Land of my Fathers and Hymns and Arias.

0:34:45 > 0:34:53# Ar hyd y nos. #

0:34:58 > 0:35:00APPLAUSE

0:35:19 > 0:35:24I look back at my...looking back at my childhood, you know,

0:35:24 > 0:35:26and I look back at the times in school.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29On St David's Day we used to have the school Eisteddfod.

0:35:29 > 0:35:34I look back at those times in school and where did the innocence go?

0:35:34 > 0:35:38Where is the boy I once was? Why did he run away?

0:35:38 > 0:35:41I want to take you back to your childhood now.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Let's close our eyes, let's go back.

0:35:43 > 0:35:47Everybody close your eyes. Nobody will see you.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49LAUGHTER

0:35:51 > 0:35:56Let's go back to childhood. Do you remember your first day in school?

0:35:56 > 0:36:01I can as if it was yesterday. I didn't know where I was going.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05If I knew where I was going I wouldn't have gone(!)

0:36:06 > 0:36:09The first time my mother ever left me.

0:36:09 > 0:36:13We got past the school railings, she opened the gate, in I went.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17I put my face against the railings, "Mam, where you going?"

0:36:19 > 0:36:22- CROWD:- Aw!

0:36:22 > 0:36:26How long, how long will I have to be in school for?

0:36:27 > 0:36:29- What? - LAUGHTER

0:36:32 > 0:36:35Until I'm 15?

0:36:35 > 0:36:37LAUGHTER

0:36:39 > 0:36:42You won't forget to come and fetch me, will you, Mam?

0:36:48 > 0:36:50But mothers, they care, don't they?

0:36:50 > 0:36:55Do you remember, I was always losing my gloves, always losing my mittens?

0:36:55 > 0:36:59Remember, with the duffel coats, what mothers used to do?

0:36:59 > 0:37:02They used to put elastic up your arm, round the back and down,

0:37:02 > 0:37:05and your gloves used to dangle on the end.

0:37:05 > 0:37:09We were so poor, my mother couldn't afford enough elastic. Like this!

0:37:09 > 0:37:11LAUGHTER

0:37:17 > 0:37:20That's why I never got in the school rugby team!

0:37:20 > 0:37:22My elastic wasn't long enough!

0:37:26 > 0:37:28My mother was always, she... we were poor.

0:37:28 > 0:37:32We didn't have no... Children would have name-tags on their back

0:37:32 > 0:37:35with their names on, to stop them losing their coats.

0:37:35 > 0:37:38- We didn't. We didn't have enough. - CROWD:- Aw!

0:37:42 > 0:37:45We didn't have enough money for name tags.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48I used to tell people my name was St Michael.

0:37:53 > 0:37:57And the bullies would always pick on me and I was always fighting.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59I was always getting in trouble in school.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02People used to think my mother was a ventriloquist.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06She'd be, "Get in here now."

0:38:11 > 0:38:13"I'm not telling you again.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16"Get in here now."

0:38:21 > 0:38:24But the thing I hated in school were the exams.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26I was hopeless at exams.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28Do you remember the school hall?

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Do you remember you sat in the exam room?

0:38:31 > 0:38:33And the clock, tick, tick, tick.

0:38:33 > 0:38:34And you were sat there

0:38:34 > 0:38:37with crib notes on the back of your hand.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40You were sweating so much all the ink would run.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43After about ten minutes, the swots would start.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45Remember the swots?

0:38:45 > 0:38:47"Sir, Can I have some more paper, Sir?"

0:38:52 > 0:38:55I hadn't written my name, then!

0:38:56 > 0:39:00And the dreaded moment came when you checked the answers.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03You'd be outside the hall afterwards,

0:39:03 > 0:39:06you'd written the answer by the side of the paper to check with friends.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08"Dai, what did you get for number two?"

0:39:08 > 0:39:10"1.78 centimetres."

0:39:10 > 0:39:12"What did you get, Harry?" "1.78 centimetres."

0:39:12 > 0:39:14"What did you get, Phil?" "1.78 centimetres."

0:39:14 > 0:39:17"What did you get, Max?" "I'm not saying."

0:39:23 > 0:39:26I think mine's out a bit.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30And the question was, define the diameter of this copper tube.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32They said, "What did you get the answer?"

0:39:32 > 0:39:34I said, "I'm not saying. I don't have to say.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37"Mine's different."

0:39:37 > 0:39:41They said, "Perhaps you're right and we're wrong. Ha-ha!"

0:39:44 > 0:39:46I said, "I don't think so."

0:39:46 > 0:39:48They said, "What's the diameter of the tube?"

0:39:48 > 0:39:50I said, "17.5 miles."

0:39:53 > 0:39:55Do you remember that? You used to do the easiest question first

0:39:55 > 0:40:01and end up with a stupid answer, but weren't they stupid questions?

0:40:01 > 0:40:06They asked, "Where's 'Adrian's Wall?" I put, "Behind Adrian's house!"

0:40:08 > 0:40:12And I had it wrong. He's my cousin, I know him.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19My friend in school was Billy Williams.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22A terrible, terrible boy, some of the things he's done.

0:40:22 > 0:40:23Terrible things.

0:40:23 > 0:40:28He had a dog and what did he call his dog? Stay!

0:40:31 > 0:40:34He nearly killed the poor dog. "Stay! Stay! Come here, boy!

0:40:34 > 0:40:37"Come here, boy! Stay!" The dog goes...

0:40:42 > 0:40:45We were in... We were in the Boy Scouts together.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48He made me run after all the Girl Guides in their short blue skirts

0:40:48 > 0:40:51and sting them all with stinging nettles.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54And he had all the dock leaves.

0:40:56 > 0:41:00They didn't understand that in Cardiff!

0:41:04 > 0:41:08They never heard of dock leaves in Cardiff!

0:41:08 > 0:41:11See, money isn't everything, is it?

0:41:12 > 0:41:15We used to go to Porthcawl on our holidays.

0:41:15 > 0:41:16Do you remember Porthcawl?

0:41:16 > 0:41:20All the mining villages they emptied down to holiday in Porthcawl.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23Do you remember? Miner's fortnight in Porthcawl.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25We had a caravan.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Our caravan was called the Water's Edge.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32It was in Cowbridge, it was.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37So then we went and had bed-and-breakfast.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39We got fed up of camping.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43Do you remember, bed-and-breakfasts today, they're en suite.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46They're just like five star hotels.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49In those days, the toilet was at the bottom of the garden.

0:41:49 > 0:41:53Do you remember those? Y ty bach. The little place in the bottom of the garden?

0:41:53 > 0:41:57You were always afraid someone would come in when you were in there.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59You used to put your foot against the door.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04And there is no point because the door opened outwards.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12And I remember going swimming.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15I remember going swimming in Rest Bay.

0:42:15 > 0:42:19And do you remember, do you remember the old knitted woollen costumes?

0:42:21 > 0:42:24They were all right until you went in the sea.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28But when you came out of the sea,

0:42:28 > 0:42:30your swimming costume...

0:42:31 > 0:42:34..was coming 60 ft behind you!

0:42:35 > 0:42:38You'd be going up the beach like a Grimsby trawler!

0:42:40 > 0:42:44Dragging this enormous weight full of shells, seaweed and pebbles.

0:42:50 > 0:42:55And the Salvation Army band were playing Nearer My God To Thee!

0:43:05 > 0:43:08Would you please welcome back Boyd Clack.

0:43:15 > 0:43:18Thank you.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Thank you very much indeed.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25Of all the mines, foundries and factories

0:43:25 > 0:43:29that have been closed down in Wales these last 30 years,

0:43:29 > 0:43:34this next poem recalls probably our saddest loss.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39The Outside-half Factory.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45I'll tell you all a story, 'tis a strange and weird tale.

0:43:45 > 0:43:50Of a factory in my valley, not fed by a road or rail.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54It's built beneath the mountain, beneath the coal and clay.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57It's where we make the outside-halves

0:43:57 > 0:43:59that'll play for Wales one day.

0:43:59 > 0:44:05We've camouflaged the mouth with stones from Bradford Northern spies,

0:44:05 > 0:44:10from plastic E-type Englishman with promise in their eyes.

0:44:10 > 0:44:14And we've boarded up the entrance for the way must not be shown,

0:44:14 > 0:44:19we'll tell them all to bugger off and go and make their own.

0:44:21 > 0:44:27My dad works down in arms and legs with productions running high.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30It's he that checks the wooden moulds and stacks them 40 high.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32But he's had some rejects lately,

0:44:32 > 0:44:35cos there's such a big demand,

0:44:35 > 0:44:39so he sells them to the northern clubs and stamps then, second hand.

0:44:41 > 0:44:45It's where Harry Dampers works, it's where the money is best,

0:44:45 > 0:44:51but now his health is failing and the dust lies on his chest.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53But he'll get his compensation,

0:44:53 > 0:44:56though his health's gone off the rails,

0:44:56 > 0:45:01when he sees that finished product score the winning try for Wales.

0:45:02 > 0:45:04Old Harry Dampers.

0:45:05 > 0:45:10But now the belts are empty, came a sadness with the dawn,

0:45:10 > 0:45:14and the body press is idle and the valley's blinds are drawn.

0:45:14 > 0:45:20Disaster struck this morning, when a fitter's mate named Ron

0:45:20 > 0:45:24cracked the mould of solid gold that once made Barry John.

0:45:27 > 0:45:32Old Harry Dampers, struck with grief, received the final call.

0:45:32 > 0:45:37Old Harry has been taken to the greatest outside-half of all.

0:45:37 > 0:45:43His hands are kind and gentle, though they bear the mark of nails,

0:45:43 > 0:45:47so Harry stamped him number ten cos he was made in Wales.

0:45:49 > 0:45:54And the wheels will go on turning, trams will run on rails...

0:45:55 > 0:45:58..to that factory 'neath the mountain

0:45:58 > 0:46:02making outside-halves for Wales.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27Diolch yn fawr.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29This next song,

0:46:29 > 0:46:34erm, I wrote and probably was part of the success

0:46:34 > 0:46:37of the album Live at Treorchy.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40It tells of the story, it's of a time and a place.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42It told of all the colliery closures

0:46:42 > 0:46:45that were happening at the time in South Wales.

0:46:45 > 0:46:47It's a song I haven't sung for 30 years

0:46:47 > 0:46:49but it's a song very special to me.

0:46:49 > 0:46:52A song called Duw, It's Hard.

0:47:08 > 0:47:13# In our little valley they closed the colliery down

0:47:14 > 0:47:19# And the pithead baths is a supermarket now

0:47:21 > 0:47:28# Empty gurneys red with rust roll to rest amongst the dust

0:47:28 > 0:47:32# And the pithead baths is a supermarket now

0:47:35 > 0:47:38# Cos it's hard

0:47:38 > 0:47:41# Duw it's hard

0:47:42 > 0:47:46# And it's harder than they will ever know

0:47:49 > 0:47:53# And it's they must take the blame

0:47:53 > 0:47:56# The price of coal's the same

0:47:57 > 0:48:01# The pithead baths is a supermarket now

0:48:10 > 0:48:16# They came down here from London because our output's low

0:48:20 > 0:48:25# Briefcases full of bank clerks that have never been below

0:48:28 > 0:48:32# And they'll close the valley's oldest mine

0:48:32 > 0:48:35# Pretending that they're sad

0:48:37 > 0:48:40# But don't you worry butty bach

0:48:40 > 0:48:43# We're really very glad

0:48:43 > 0:48:45# Cos it's hard

0:48:47 > 0:48:49# Duw it's hard

0:48:51 > 0:48:54# It's harder than they will ever know

0:48:57 > 0:49:00# And it's they must take the blame

0:49:02 > 0:49:04# The price of coal's the same

0:49:05 > 0:49:09# The pithead baths is a supermarket now

0:49:19 > 0:49:23# My clean clothes locker's empty now

0:49:23 > 0:49:25# Thrown away the key

0:49:26 > 0:49:29# I've sold my boots and muffler

0:49:29 > 0:49:32# And my lampcheck 153

0:49:34 > 0:49:38# But I can't forget the times we had

0:49:38 > 0:49:41# The laughing 'midst the fear

0:49:44 > 0:49:46# Cos every time I cough

0:49:46 > 0:49:50# I get a mining souvenir

0:49:50 > 0:49:53# Cos it's hard

0:49:53 > 0:49:55# Duw it's hard

0:49:57 > 0:50:01# And it's harder than they will ever know

0:50:04 > 0:50:07# And it's they must take the blame

0:50:08 > 0:50:11# The price of coal's the same

0:50:12 > 0:50:15# The pithead baths is a supermarket now

0:50:25 > 0:50:28# But I know the local magistrate

0:50:28 > 0:50:31# She's got a job for me

0:50:33 > 0:50:37# Though it's only counting buttons

0:50:37 > 0:50:39# In the local factory

0:50:42 > 0:50:45# We get coffee breaks and coffee breaks

0:50:45 > 0:50:49# Coffee breaks and tea

0:50:51 > 0:50:57# And now I know those dusty mines have seen the last of me

0:50:57 > 0:51:00# Cos it's hard

0:51:01 > 0:51:03# Duw it's hard

0:51:05 > 0:51:09# It's harder than they will ever know

0:51:11 > 0:51:15# And it's they must take the blame

0:51:15 > 0:51:18# The price of coal's the same

0:51:19 > 0:51:23# The pithead baths is a supermarket now

0:51:25 > 0:51:32# Yes the pithead baths is a supermarket now. #

0:51:40 > 0:51:42APPLAUSE

0:51:56 > 0:52:01# We paid our weekly shilling for that January trip

0:52:01 > 0:52:04# A long weekend in London, aye, without a bit of kip

0:52:12 > 0:52:14# There's beer, pontoon, crisps and fags

0:52:14 > 0:52:19# And a croaking Calon Lan

0:52:35 > 0:52:39# We got to Twickers early and were jostled in the crowd

0:52:39 > 0:52:43# Planted leeks and dragons, looked for toilets all around

0:52:43 > 0:52:48# So many there we couldn't budge twisted legs and pale

0:52:48 > 0:52:52# I'm ashamed we used a bottle that once held bitter ale

0:53:17 > 0:53:21# We sang Cwm Rhondda and Delilah

0:53:22 > 0:53:25# And they sounded both the same

0:53:26 > 0:53:32# We sympathised with an English friend whose team was doomed to fail

0:53:32 > 0:53:38# So we gave him that old bottle that once held bitter ale

0:53:38 > 0:53:41# He started singing

0:53:44 > 0:53:48- CROWD:- # Hymns and arias
