-We met in Cor Aelwyd Rhuthun, -as it was called then.	0:16:40	0:16:44
-The first thing I did when I moved -to the Vale of Clwyd...	0:16:44	0:16:48
-..was to join Cor Rhuthun.	0:16:48	0:16:50
-It was the best dating agency -in North Wales!	0:16:50	0:16:53
-That's where I met Mari, my wife...	0:16:53	0:16:56
-..and that's where I met -Arwyn Vaughan and Llion Wyn...	0:16:56	0:17:00
-..who joined me to form Trisgell.	0:17:00	0:17:03
-We competed in the Urdd, -at the Cerdd Dant Festival...	0:17:03	0:17:07
-..and at the National Eisteddfod.	0:17:07	0:17:09
-We released a few cassettes.	0:17:09	0:17:12
-Competing is in your blood.	0:17:12	0:17:14
-It's important for any individual -who wants to progress.	0:17:14	0:17:18
-Yes.	0:17:18	0:17:20
-You have to learn how to lose -and how to win...	0:17:21	0:17:24
-..and there's also the discipline -of learning set pieces...	0:17:24	0:17:29
-..and working with others, -as in a choir.	0:17:29	0:17:32
-Morfydd Vaughan Evans -took us to eisteddfodau.	0:17:32	0:17:36
-We learned pieces by Elgar, -Mansel Thomas, and Faure.	0:17:36	0:17:40
-It was good to introduce lots of -young people to all kinds of music.	0:17:41	0:17:46
-We also learned the importance -of socialising.	0:17:46	0:17:50
-Morfydd Vaughan Evans -must have been very proud...	0:17:50	0:17:54
-..that you carried on working -in this field.	0:17:54	0:17:58
-Throughout the years, -she kept encouraging me.	0:17:58	0:18:01
-I became an accompanist -for Cor Rhuthun.	0:18:02	0:18:05
-I sang bass when I joined the choir.	0:18:05	0:18:07

-Later, I became -a full-time accompanist.	0:18:12	0:18:15
-Morfydd encouraged me -to arrange songs, carols...	0:18:15	0:18:19
-..and popular songs -such as Ysbryd Y Nos by Edward H...	0:18:19	0:18:23
-..and Bytholwyrdd by Tecwyn Ifan.	0:18:23	0:18:25
-Then she asked me to write -original material for the choir.	0:18:26	0:18:30
-The choir has been -a fantastic guinea pig for me!	0:18:30	0:18:34
-If it hadn't been for Morfydd...	0:18:34	0:18:36
-..I would never have written -Atgof O'r Ser for Bryn Terfel.	0:18:37	0:18:41
-Morfydd encouraged me -throughout the years.	0:18:41	0:18:44
-There's the matter of getting people -to come to the rehearsals.	0:18:53	0:18:57
-The music has to attract them -to come.	0:18:58	0:19:02
-I'm sure it's very easy -in your case.	0:19:02	0:19:05
-Attendance is very good -in the choir.	0:19:05	0:19:08
-We have about 53 or 54 members -at each rehearsal.	0:19:09	0:19:13
-We have about 64 members -on the books.	0:19:13	0:19:16
-People have work and families, -and sometimes they can't attend.	0:19:16	0:19:21

-And then you sell them at this age. - -When they're 18 to 20 months old.	0:22:01	0:22:03
-That's when I sell them.	0:22:03	0:22:05
-If I can get enough calves, -it works well.	0:22:05	0:22:08
-There are decent calves available -for you to buy, aren't there?	0:22:08	0:22:13
