0:00:12 > 0:00:15- I'm on my way to Penbryn Farm - in Montgomeryshire...

0:00:15 > 0:00:21- ..to visit the childhood home - of a prominent folk singer.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25- She's a former member of Plethyn, - a folk group.

0:00:25 > 0:00:30- Today, she sings as a soloist, - and with her daughters.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33- Meet Linda Griffiths.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39- It's too high for you.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Come along.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43- Good gracious!

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Why did you ever leave this place?

0:00:47 > 0:00:48- Look at those views!

0:00:49 > 0:00:50- Magnificent!

0:00:51 > 0:00:53- It's a magnificent area.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56- I have a soft spot - for Montgomeryshire.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59- How old were you when you left?

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- I was 18 years old when I went - to college in Aberystwyth.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05- If you'd told me at the time...

0:01:05 > 0:01:09- ..that I wouldn't return - to live here permanently...

0:01:09 > 0:01:11- ..I'd have said, "No way!"

0:01:11 > 0:01:15- But that's how things turned out, - that's life.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Roots are very important, I know.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22- But at some stage in your life...

0:01:22 > 0:01:27- ..you will, inevitably, return - to the place where you grew up.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31- These days, I don't regard - Montgomeryshire as my home.

0:01:31 > 0:01:36- I don't regard it as returning home, - since I lost my parents...

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- ..and since I lost my old home - in Montgomeryshire.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45- I have family members living here - and there's always a warm welcome.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- But these days, I come to visit - people in Montgomeryshire.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54- Maesmeurig, with Danny, my daughters - and our animals, is my home.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59- But this is still my territory - - it will always be my territory.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03- It's a part of me, - and I'm a part of this area.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Shall we move on?

0:02:06 > 0:02:08- It's a wonderful place.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Was this your playground - when you were young?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Yes - Cath, my cousin, and I.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16- The dog is holding you back!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18- You're going too fast, Dai!

0:02:21 > 0:02:22- Sorry!

0:02:26 > 0:02:27- Here we are.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Here we are.- - Tired already, Dai?!

0:02:30 > 0:02:31- What's that place over there?

0:02:31 > 0:02:33- What's that place over there?- - Be careful with your stick!

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- We're looking out - over the hills above Llanfair...

0:02:38 > 0:02:39- ..and Cefn Coch.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- There are wind turbines - in that area.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45- There are wind turbines everywhere.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Dyffryn Meifod is to our left.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- If I may turn - to your singing career...

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- ..which began in your home area...

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- ..how old were you - when you started singing on stage?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04- I didn't start singing on my own - until I was 14 years old...

0:03:04 > 0:03:08- ..apart from a few minor gatherings - at the chapel.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- The chapel held competitions.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16- But other than those, - I didn't sing on my own.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20- I don't think anyone ever told me - I could sing.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23- I didn't live - in that kind of milieu.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25- We didn't attend eisteddfodau.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- We lived on a farm, - and the farm was our life.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Your late parents had the - opportunity to hear you sing...

0:03:33 > 0:03:37- ..they saw you taking your place - in that world.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Yes, and they saw me sing - with Plethyn.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42- Yes, Dad was around.

0:03:43 > 0:03:44- We lost Mam four years ago.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46- So, yes.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- In their own way, - they were quite proud...

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- ..but they were never boastful.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I think that's a characteristic - of rural areas...

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- ..you don't boast - about your children...

0:03:59 > 0:04:01- ..you don't praise them.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Sometimes, I have difficulty - with my own daughters.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10- You want to encourage them, but - you also want to keep them grounded.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Perhaps I was brought up - not to think of myself...

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- ..as being more talented - or better than anyone else...

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- ..and, perhaps, - I also lacked confidence.

0:04:21 > 0:04:22- It's tricky.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25- I'm sure you must be very happy...

0:04:26 > 0:04:31- ..that all three of your daughters - have followed in your footsteps.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Yes, I'm glad they've done so.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Even when they were small, - people asked if they could sing.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43- That wouldn't necessarily mean - they were keen to sing.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48- But it's something they've developed - in their own time, in their own way.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50- I haven't pushed them in any way.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- You should do things - because you enjoy them.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Because they're my daughters...

0:04:57 > 0:05:02- ..that shouldn't have any bearing - on their ability or desire to sing.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- # I sought shelter

0:05:06 > 0:05:11- # On the solid rock #

0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Sorela is an acapella group.

0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Linda is very proud - of Mari, Gwenno and Lisa.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Good gracious, how beautiful.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26- This is the top of the hill.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Yes, these are Penbryn's top fields.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- I always felt - I was standing on top of the world!

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- You can see for miles all around.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40- People often ask me - if I'll return to Montgomeryshire...

0:05:40 > 0:05:44- ..but you never know - what life has in store for you.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- I shall return, one day - - probably in a wooden box!

0:05:48 > 0:05:53- I've asked my daughters to scatter - my ashes at this exact spot...

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- ..and to make sure the wind's - blowing in that direction...

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- ..so that my ashes - aren't blown over the border!

0:06:01 > 0:06:07- I like the idea of being back - in my childhood home, in this area.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Someone asked me - to write a few verses...

0:06:10 > 0:06:15- ..for a book that was published - for the Maldwyn eisteddfod.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16- Here's one of them.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- "One day, I shall return, - when all comes to a stop

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- "Once again I'll wander - along the top fields

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- "Choose a windy day, - scatter me to the heavens

0:06:27 > 0:06:31- "Don't let sheep relieve themselves - on my remains!"

0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Where are we now, Linda?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- I know it's the area - where you grew up.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Bwlch Golau Farm is behind us.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50- This is Bwlch-bach.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Many years ago...

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- ..Taid and Nain Penrhos - lived here, for a while...

0:06:57 > 0:06:59- ..my father's parents.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03- They came to Bwlch-bach - after they got married.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06- They were tenants.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11- One hot day, Taid had been - working hard at the harvest...

0:07:11 > 0:07:13- ..with his horses.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16- He went home late for his supper...

0:07:16 > 0:07:20- ..but his landlord called him back - to do even more work.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Taid said, politely, - "Enough is enough.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- "My horses and I - have done enough for one day."

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- The following day, - they were evicted from their home...

0:07:31 > 0:07:34- ..because Taid - had stood up for himself.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- They had no warning.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- They had three children, - at the time.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Kind neighbours living nearby - offered them a home...

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- ..a place called Wern Bont, - which stands as a ruin today.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50- It's located above Pontrobert.

0:07:50 > 0:07:55- They lived there, they worked hard, - they scrimped and saved.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Later on, they moved - to another rented farm, Peniarth...

0:07:59 > 0:08:03- ..before buying Penbryn Farm, - where I was raised.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06- They also bought another farm - - Penrhos Farm.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09- These farms remain in the family.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12- They also raised eight children.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14- I admire them very much.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16- That's very interesting.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- It's good to see - the actual locations.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23- # David was born in 1887

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- # An illegitimate child

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- # He had no privileges

0:08:30 > 0:08:32- # He spent his youth

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- # He moved when he married Blodwen

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- # Becoming a tenant at Bwlch-bach

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- # There, he raised his family

0:08:48 > 0:08:52- # A serf serving the crach

0:08:56 > 0:09:00- # It had been a long day - in the fields

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- # He had toiled - since the break of dawn

0:09:05 > 0:09:08- # Sweltering in the summer's heat

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- # For a penny ha'penny an hour

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- # When he went home late - for his supper

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- # He was determined - to stand his ground

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- # When he was called back - by the landlord

0:09:25 > 0:09:29- # David's message was clear

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- # Enough is enough

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- # Why bow and be a serf?

0:09:38 > 0:09:41- # Enough is enough

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- # Why doff your cap to the crach?

0:09:46 > 0:09:49- # I shall not yield to coercion

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- # I'll stand and hold my ground

0:09:54 > 0:09:58- # I have no wealth, I have no land

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- # But I do have a backbone #

0:10:41 > 0:10:42- It's nice to face the sun.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47- When it was built, - people knew exactly where to build.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51- The prevailing wind is funnelled - up the valley...

0:10:51 > 0:10:55- ..but the house - stands in a sheltered position.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01- These are important!

0:11:02 > 0:11:03- Very important!

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- What breed are they?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- They're kunekune.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Pigs are my favourite animals.

0:11:38 > 0:11:39- There we go.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Will you close the gate, Dai?

0:11:42 > 0:11:43- Right.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45- In a minute, boys.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Four years ago, at Christmas, - I was staying with my sister.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Mam had died recently, - and we were all feeling very sad.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59- On Christmas morning, my nephew - turned up with a stock trailer.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- I heard someone say, - "Mam, come here a moment."

0:12:03 > 0:12:05- "Girls, what have you done?"

0:12:05 > 0:12:08- They'd bought these two pigs - for me, to cheer me up.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11- This place is so neat.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14- It's like paradise.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16- It's sheltered by the hills.

0:12:17 > 0:12:18- There are trees.

0:12:18 > 0:12:23- It's just like - a traditional Welsh smallholding.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28- When I went to college - in Aberystwyth...

0:12:28 > 0:12:32- ..I missed the farm - even more than I missed my family.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34- I missed the animals and the land.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39- I was a typical farmer's daughter, - I loved being outdoors.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- You have an ideal lifestyle.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43- You have an ideal lifestyle.- - I'm happy to be outdoors.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47- People in Wales - may think of me as a singer.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- But singing - is a small part of my life...

0:12:52 > 0:12:54- ..particularly nowadays.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58- The outdoors, the natural world, - walking, riding my horse...

0:12:59 > 0:13:01- ..looking after the pigs...

0:13:01 > 0:13:03- ..this is my world, my life.

0:13:03 > 0:13:08- I feel I must spend time outdoors, - at some point, every single day.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12- I feel like an animal in a cage - if I'm indoors all day.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Look - a typical male!

0:13:14 > 0:13:17- He's taking all the food over there!

0:13:17 > 0:13:18- Oh, here she comes!

0:13:18 > 0:13:22- A typical female - sticking her nose - into what he's doing!

0:13:28 > 0:13:30- Well, Twm-Twm is happy!

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Snwff is having a scratch!

0:13:34 > 0:13:37- And Magi wants to go for a walk.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40- The extended Maesmeurig family - is happy.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- My hair will be like a pancake - after this!

0:13:44 > 0:13:45- Just like the hat!

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- I'll catch up with you.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- After you've finished sweeping.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Don't worry, I won't forget.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58- DAI HUMS

0:14:21 > 0:14:24- You need a faster horse - - I've beaten you!

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- I don't know - who's the most tired, her or me.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32- These views are lovely, - and it's a glorious morning.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33- Yes, it's great.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37- There's a panorama - wherever you look.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Do you stop to chat with people?

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Yes, going out horseriding - is a very social activity.

0:14:45 > 0:14:50- There isn't much of a community in - Trefeurig, since the school closed.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54- But when I take Magi out, - I talk to people.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- It was the same - when I lived at home.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- You meet people around the place.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04- May I be a gentleman, - and open the gate for you?

0:15:05 > 0:15:09- You may - it makes a nice change - to have someone to open the gate.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- There you go.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15- You've got it, Dai.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17- You've got it, Dai.- - I've got it!

0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Fair play to Ceredigion Council...

0:15:19 > 0:15:24- ..their bridleways have gates - that are easy to open on horseback.

0:15:24 > 0:15:25- I'll catch up with you.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27- I'll catch up with you.- - Really?!

0:15:29 > 0:15:31- As Linda rides off...

0:15:31 > 0:15:34- ..I have an opportunity - to chat with her daughters.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- # Just a wave

0:15:42 > 0:15:45- # On the sea, nearby

0:15:46 > 0:15:53- # And maybe a promise of finding

0:15:53 > 0:15:56- # Remains of the day

0:15:57 > 0:16:01- # Among porpoises #

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Mari, you're the youngest daughter.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06- Mari, you're the youngest daughter.- - Yes, I'm the youngest.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08- When you were young...

0:16:09 > 0:16:13- ..did the fact that your mother was - a singer inspire you to sing too?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17- I enjoyed singing - and I sang at school.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23- But I was more drawn - to art and photography...

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- ..and drama, rather than music.

0:16:27 > 0:16:32- I'm less musical, technically, - than Lisa and Gwenno.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- I'm more like Mam - - I play it by ear.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38- What's your attitude towards life?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Are you like your mother?

0:16:42 > 0:16:44- All three of us are like Mam.

0:16:46 > 0:16:47- I think we've picked up...

0:16:49 > 0:16:52- ..slightly feminist vibes from Mam.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56- # Do you know

0:16:57 > 0:17:00- # How salty the sea is

0:17:01 > 0:17:05- # It sends

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- # A storm at my head #

0:17:10 > 0:17:15- Lisa, did your mother's voice - and her musical interests...

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- ..influence you at all?

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Did you think, "I want to do that"?

0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Certainly.

0:17:22 > 0:17:27- We used to listen to a tape - of children's songs by Plethyn...

0:17:27 > 0:17:29- .."Mam sing again, Mam sing again!"

0:17:30 > 0:17:31- Mam would hide that tape!

0:17:32 > 0:17:33- I was always keen to sing.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37- I always wanted Mam - to take me to eisteddfodau.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41- "Can I compete - at the Penrhyncoch eisteddfod?"

0:17:41 > 0:17:42- Mam wasn't keen, but she's talented.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Mam wasn't keen, but she's talented.- - She never took part in eisteddfodau.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46- No, not at all.

0:17:46 > 0:17:51- She never had any conscious - intention of becoming a singer...

0:17:51 > 0:17:54- ..she never intended to sing - all over the world.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56- It just happened.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Mam is really chilled - about everything, unlike me.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Mari is similar - - she goes along with it.

0:18:03 > 0:18:08- But ever since I was small, - I've wanted to sing, like Mam...

0:18:08 > 0:18:11- ..I've always been a keen bean!

0:18:11 > 0:18:15- # I sought shelter

0:18:16 > 0:18:20- # On the solid rock

0:18:21 > 0:18:25- # The prom is a beach

0:18:25 > 0:18:29- # And the beach is a pub

0:18:30 > 0:18:31- # College days

0:18:32 > 0:18:36- # Narrow streets

0:18:37 > 0:18:41- # Together, they form

0:18:41 > 0:18:48- # A net for the heart #

0:18:50 > 0:18:53- Gwenno, I've caught up with you!

0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Looking back on your childhood.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01- You saw your mother sing, - you heard her sing.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05- Did it inspire you - to follow in her footsteps?

0:19:07 > 0:19:11- I don't think I recognised it - as inspiration at the time...

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- ..it was just something - that Mam did.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18- I can remember listening - to Plethyn rehearsing...

0:19:18 > 0:19:21- ..and I really enjoyed being there.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24- I like... Mam's voice...

0:19:26 > 0:19:28- ..it's really nice.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30- It has a homely quality, for me.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32- It touches your heart.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Yes - it's nice.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37- It's something - that's always been there.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42- It has probably inspired us - more than we realise.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- I've talked to all three of you.

0:19:45 > 0:19:50- Mam has had a big influence - on your lives.

0:19:51 > 0:19:52- It's wonderful.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57- # A summer dwelling - and time to relax

0:19:57 > 0:20:02- # This is how it's meant to be

0:20:02 > 0:20:06- # The shearing season - is over once again

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- # Fleeces are piled up

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- # They shall go to the pastures

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- # Wide expanses and little sheep

0:20:20 > 0:20:24- # It's harvest time - at the winter dwelling

0:20:25 > 0:20:29- # Gathering in as the seasons turn

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- # Then we shall lift our eyes

0:20:34 > 0:20:38- # To higher places - - this is how it's meant to be

0:20:39 > 0:20:43- # A cuckoo sings on a mountain ash

0:20:43 > 0:20:47- # The sun dries a reed's tears

0:20:48 > 0:20:52- # A summer dwelling - and time to relax #

0:20:53 > 0:20:58- Linda of Maesmeurig, Penybont - Rhyd y Beddau, Penrhyncoch.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01- I've enjoyed every moment with you.

0:21:01 > 0:21:02- I've enjoyed having you here!

0:21:02 > 0:21:03- I've enjoyed having you here!- - It's been fun!

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- You have three lively daughters - who know what they want to do.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12- I don't know about that...

0:21:12 > 0:21:17- ..but they're certainly - full of life and they enjoy life.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Nothing gives you more pleasure - than watching them come and go.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- One of the most important things, - where children are concerned...

0:21:27 > 0:21:28- ..is letting them go.

0:21:28 > 0:21:33- Two of my daughters live in London, - and the other one may join them.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Young people are criticised - for leaving Wales...

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- ..but it's not so bad, in my view.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- They act as ambassadors - for their language and their nation.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48- People see them speaking Welsh - in a natural way.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50- And you hope...

0:21:50 > 0:21:55- ..they will bring their valuable - experiences back to Wales...

0:21:55 > 0:21:57- ..back to Ceredigion.

0:21:57 > 0:22:03- I hope their upbringing - in the Aberystwyth area...

0:22:03 > 0:22:06- ..between the mountains - and the sea...

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- ..will remain with them...

0:22:08 > 0:22:10- ..in the same way...

0:22:10 > 0:22:15- ..that my upbringing in - Montgomeryshire remains with me.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17- It doesn't surprise me.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21- You've talked about your roots - and your childhood home...

0:22:21 > 0:22:26- ..and I've had the privilege - of walking the area with you...

0:22:26 > 0:22:28- ..and enjoyed the experience.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31- I wish you years of happiness - as a family...

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- ..and I hope - you'll carry on singing for ever.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Thank you very much.
