0:00:24 > 0:00:27- We're recalling one of Wales's - most famous rock bands.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32- Five individuals who created - a unique sound for their loyal fans.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36- Although the group broke up - during the early 1980s...

0:00:36 > 0:00:40- ..they were a pioneering force - on the Welsh music scene.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Let's reflect on the careers...

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- ..of Dewi, John, - Hefin, Charli and Cleif...

0:00:46 > 0:00:47- ..aka Edward H Dafis.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51- # Hot thing, hot thing, - where are you going?

0:00:51 > 0:00:54- # Bap-bap, shoobie-doo-wap-bap

0:00:54 > 0:00:57- # Hot thing, hot thing, - can I be your friend?

0:00:57 > 0:00:59- # Bap-bap, shoobie-doo-wap-bap

0:01:00 > 0:01:04- # Happy thing, shapely thing, cute - thing, you're sweeter than honey

0:01:06 > 0:01:10- # Let's lie down on my comfy sofa #

0:01:11 > 0:01:14- I'd never dreamed - of being in a rock band.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16- I just wanted to have fun.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20- I always tried to connect - with the audience.

0:01:20 > 0:01:26- It worked because people would - come on stage and headbutt us!

0:01:28 > 0:01:33- We didn't take ourselves seriously - as 90% of it was a matter of fun.

0:01:33 > 0:01:39- Taking the mick and playing tricks - on each other was an integral part.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- It's difficult - to single out one gig.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- They've all just blended into - one large gig.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- # Let's lie down on the comfy sofa

0:01:49 > 0:01:53- # And love you intimately #

0:01:57 > 0:02:02- We never thought of becoming rock - stars. It hadn't entered our minds.

0:02:02 > 0:02:03- # Oh, hot thing #

0:02:07 > 0:02:10- There was never a cross word - between us...

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- ..in all the years we were together.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Everyone had their say.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Everything went through - a democratic process.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- When we were naughty boys, - Hefin would tell us off!

0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Hefin was the driving force - behind the whole idea.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34- The rest of us enjoyed touring Wales - and getting a fiver here and there.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- We just wanted enough money - to pay for the booze.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Take us back to the beginning.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- From where did the idea - to start a rock band come?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52- I was at the university - in Aberystwyth.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56- We used to drink in the bar - in the basement of The Marine.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- It had a jukebox.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04- My favourite song at the time - was Maggie May by Rod Stewart.

0:03:05 > 0:03:10- We got talking and thought it'd be - great to start a Welsh rock band.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Hefin said...

0:03:12 > 0:03:16- .."It'd be nice starting - a Welsh-language rock and roll band.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19- We didn't pay much attention to him.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24- But as time went on, the idea - became more and more appealing.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- He knew the others.

0:03:26 > 0:03:32- Charli was working in London - as something. A lap dancer, I think!

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- And John Griffiths...

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- A belly dancer! Ha, ha!

0:03:38 > 0:03:43- I think he'd played with - John Griffiths before in a band.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46- That's how we got together.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48- John, Hefin, Charli and me.

0:03:48 > 0:03:53- I'm far from being a fantastic - guitar player. I'm no Jimi Hendrix.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56- But we needed another vocalist...

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- ..so that I could concentrate - on playing the guitar.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- So we invited... - oh, what's his name?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05- He had long hair at the time.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Cleif Harpwood!

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- So we invited him to join the band - and he said, "Alright then."

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- I thought, wow, he's a rock icon. - "Alright then."

0:04:16 > 0:04:20- I joined Edward H Dafis in 1973.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- I was on loan at the beginning.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28- I was a member of Ac Eraill - at the time.

0:04:28 > 0:04:34- # Come back to me and leave him #

0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Soon afterwards, - they recruited Cleif Harpwood.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Cleif Harpwood had left Ac Eraill - to sing with Edward H Dafis.

0:04:44 > 0:04:49- It was like Mick Jagger leaving - The Stones to sing with The Beatles.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- It was a difficult decision...

0:04:51 > 0:04:55- ..because my Ac Eraill band mates - were loyal friends.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- And my philosophy at the time...

0:04:59 > 0:05:04- ..was very different from the - philosophy of Edward H members.

0:05:04 > 0:05:09- I was an advocate of Adfer, to keep - Welsh alive in the heartlands.

0:05:10 > 0:05:15- But one of the things that appealed - to me was the song, Tyrd I Edrych.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20- # Come and look at the dawn breaking

0:05:20 > 0:05:26- # Come and look - at the beautiful sunset

0:05:26 > 0:05:31- # Come and look - for the beautiful light

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- # In the west... #

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- I met Charli...

0:05:36 > 0:05:40- ..while recording the first EP, - Hergest, in Rockfield.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44- As Charli was such a good drummer...

0:05:44 > 0:05:47- ..I asked him - if he'd like to join us.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50- He came up to me and asked me...

0:05:50 > 0:05:55- ..if I'd like to join a group - called Edward H Dafis.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- He mentioned that Dewi Pws - was in the group.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00- I didn't know him then.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03- And Hefin, I'd never met him either.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07- But I was aware of Y Tebot Piws.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11- I was at their final gig.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- It was strange - because during that gig...

0:06:14 > 0:06:18- ..Dewi announced - that he was starting a new band.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Little did I think then - that I'd become part of that band.

0:06:22 > 0:06:27- Dewi was in Y Tebot Piws and I was - in the revolutionary Y Chwyldro.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- We were all part of the revolution!

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- We were fed up of acoustic groups.

0:06:34 > 0:06:39- We wanted to play heavy, - electronic, noisy music...

0:06:40 > 0:06:42- ..and perform in Welsh...

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- ..so we chose our fellow band mates.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- A man called Edward H Dafis...

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- ..used to write a column in Y Faner.

0:06:52 > 0:06:57- I didn't know him but I wrote to him - and told him that I liked T Rex.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01- He said he didn't like them.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- So we called the group Edward H - Dafis after Y Faner's journalist.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- We still don't know - for what the H stands.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Hefin and I went to the same chapel.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17- We sat next to each other - in Ebenezer chapel in Aberavon...

0:07:17 > 0:07:20- ..every Sunday morning - for a number of years.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- He was also in school the same time - as me but he was older.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26- They're all older than me.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Charli had been in school with me - in Rhydfelen.

0:07:30 > 0:07:35- Hefin and John had been in primary - school together in Pontrhydyfen.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39- I think the performing - and song writing aspect...

0:07:39 > 0:07:42- ..came from our primary school - background.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Our headmaster was an extraordinary - man called Alwyn Sam...

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- ..who was himself - a performer and song writer.

0:07:50 > 0:07:56- Parti Pontrhydyfen was - an integral part of community life.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01- It was a staunch Welsh-speaking - community back then.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05- In a way, it was - a blueprint for us as children.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- # Have you been to Aber - to see how students live?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- # They don't care about anything, - on the ale, ale, ale

0:08:15 > 0:08:16- # Oh, come on down

0:08:17 > 0:08:19- # Oh, come on down, whoo!

0:08:20 > 0:08:24- # Write your name on the paper, hey, - everyone come on down #

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I was at their very first gig.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Back then during the Eisteddfod, - there weren't individual gigs...

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- ..there were nightly events - with several acts on stage.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41- There were old people, young people, - children.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- A group called Edward H Dafis - came on stage.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Dewi Pws from Y Tebot Piws, - we all knew him.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52- And we all knew of Hefin Elis - who'd been in Y Chwyldro.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Together they'd formed - a rock group.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59- They played rock and roll - at the pavilion in Corwen.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- The young people - got on their feet to dance...

0:09:02 > 0:09:06- ..while all the old people - put their hands over their ears.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08- It was a wonderful experience.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12- It felt as if something changed - that night.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- With Can Y Stiwdants - and the electric guitar...

0:09:16 > 0:09:20- ..the sedate audience couldn't - understand what was going on.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Everybody else - was sitting down respectably...

0:09:24 > 0:09:26- ..expecting to see - Cerdd Dant parties.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- People were dancing in the aisles. - It was a new phenomenon.

0:09:31 > 0:09:36- I remember during the drum solo, I - did something that wasn't very good.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38- It was just noise, really.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44- Perhaps people hadn't expected - such noise from a noson lawen.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48- But then I started to hear - people clapping.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52- It was a fantastic feeling.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Seeing people stamping their feet...

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- ..and dancing in the aisles...

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- ..was a bit bizarre.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06- It went from there.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- From that response, - we must be doing something right.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Hefin was the musical mastermind - of the group.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25- He wasn't much of a performer. - He stood still.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- John Griffiths - wasn't a mover either.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Dewi Pws, who everyone knew from - Y Tebot Piws, was the only one.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36- He was wild on stage - and so unpredictable.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Goodness knows what he'd do next! - He was a natural performer on stage.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46- Then Cleif came along, who also gave - a good performance on stage.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- He had a strong voice.

0:10:48 > 0:10:53- Cleif and Dewi - did all the motions...

0:10:53 > 0:10:56- ..at the front of the stage...

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- ..and the musical trio - stayed in the background.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04- Charli was a great drummer, - John was a talented bassist...

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- ..and Hefin - was the musical mastermind.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10- # Come with me

0:11:10 > 0:11:15- # Come with me - and we'll set the world on fire #

0:11:19 > 0:11:20- .

0:11:22 > 0:11:22- 888

0:11:22 > 0:11:24- 888- - 888

0:11:31 > 0:11:35- We had no money. I was working - for a theatre company.

0:11:35 > 0:11:41- Most of my money went on booze, - no, on food, transport and lodgings!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43- I don't know how it happened...

0:11:44 > 0:11:49- ..but I think I'd been telling - Huw Ceredig that we had no money.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- "Ooh, well..." I'm acting now!

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- "Maybe I could lend you some money."

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Fair play to him, he took out - another mortgage on his house...

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- ..and gave us 4,000, - which was a lot of money back then.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Without Huw and Margaret Ceredig...

0:12:06 > 0:12:10- ..we wouldn't have been able - to start the band.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- They gave us money - to buy the initial equipment.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16- It was quite a sacrifice for them.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- We're very grateful to them - for their help.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23- We bought a second-hand bread van...

0:12:23 > 0:12:25- ..because it was the only one - we could get.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30- It had compartments in it - where we kept our equipment.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- It also had a sink - where we could wash our hands.

0:12:34 > 0:12:35- Not that it had a lot of use!

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I took it to London - and bought a lot of equipment there.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Hefin and I went together.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- We weren't sure what to buy.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50- We had a lot of money at the time.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52- It was like Christmas.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56- I was wandering around, "I'll have - one of those and one of those."

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- # There's no-one left

0:13:00 > 0:13:03- # There's no-one left to see - a seagull on the shore #

0:13:03 > 0:13:07- We started the gig - and suddenly we looked like snowmen.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12- We were covered in flour that - had been in the stacks in the van.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15- We were all white.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- They probably thought - we were a novelty act.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- # We'll lie on my comfy sofa #

0:13:24 > 0:13:28- I didn't like studio performances - where all performers wore make-up.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Some of our antics were terrible.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- We'd raid the props - and wardrobe departments...

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- ..and dress up in anything - to ease the frustration...

0:13:39 > 0:13:43- ..of playing in a studio - and miming mostly.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44- I didn't like it.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Back then, - I used to apply a bit of make-up.

0:13:48 > 0:13:53- I had long hair too, which is - why I still have hair today...

0:13:53 > 0:13:55- ..unlike Dewi.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- I was trying to create an image - for myself.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04- I wanted to be different.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06- But that didn't last long...

0:14:06 > 0:14:10- ..because the lads ridiculed me - for it.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12- # I've arrived, I've arrived

0:14:12 > 0:14:15- # I've arrived

0:14:15 > 0:14:17- # I, I, I, well, here I am #

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- # Give me the old

0:14:25 > 0:14:29- # Welsh way of life #

0:14:29 > 0:14:32- The first album, - Hen Ffordd Gymreig O Fyw...

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- ..was a bit of a random mix.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37- # Mr God, Mr God #

0:14:37 > 0:14:42- The song, Mr Duw, stems from - a story about a soldier in Vietnam.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46- # Are you still around - to protect us #

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Songs like Pishyn were artistic.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Nobody knows who Pishyn is - or if she existed.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55- It's just a 12-bar.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57- # Hot thing, hot thing #

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Welsh lyrics, though a bit naff...

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- ..appealed to people at the time.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07- # I love you #

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Dewi always came up - with great melodies.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Hefin was the musician - and the backbone of the band.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19- We came in for some criticism - from Y Cymro.

0:15:20 > 0:15:26- They said that we were turning - our backs on the Welsh tradition...

0:15:26 > 0:15:32- ..and that our music was influenced - too much by Anglo-American music.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Critics claimed that young people - didn't want that at all.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40- So tongue-in-cheek, - we called our second album...

0:15:40 > 0:15:43- ..Ffordd Newydd - Eingl-Americanaidd Gret O Fyw.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- It was a dig at the columnist - who wrote for Y Cymro.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Troi A Throi was a song...

0:15:51 > 0:15:56- ..about the conflict in Biafra - at the time.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- They were events - that had touched me personally.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03- # Turning and turning

0:16:03 > 0:16:07- # Turning and turning #

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Let's continue - with the rock and roll.

0:16:10 > 0:16:15- At the beginning of the 1970s, - when discotheques became popular...

0:16:15 > 0:16:20- ..we played a lot of instrumentals.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24- But as the years passed...

0:16:25 > 0:16:29- ..the records of Edward H, Shwn, - Geraint Jarman and Heather Jones...

0:16:30 > 0:16:33- ..revolutionized the scene.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Stage performances - had been completely transformed.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- # I want to be - in a rock and roll band

0:16:43 > 0:16:46- # I want the crowd to call me back

0:16:47 > 0:16:52- # I want to be - in a rock and roll band one day #

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- # What's wrong with growing old? #

0:17:03 > 0:17:08- You had to dress in a certain way - if you were a real fan.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10- And I was, of course.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14- It involved wearing a red bandana - around the neck or wrist...

0:17:15 > 0:17:18- ..usually a T-shirt - and lots of denim.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Denim and more denim.

0:17:23 > 0:17:28- We had some wonderful fans, - especially the lads from Ffostrasol.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32- I'm sure Dai's up there, - wearing his red neckerchief...

0:17:32 > 0:17:34- ..and singing along.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35- They were loyal fans.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40- They had an ambulance, they had - a better place to sleep than us.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42- I wonder about their groupies!

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- They were fantastic. - They wore red neckerchiefs.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47- I wanted a unique image.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51- I found a red neckerchief - in a shop in Builth Wells...

0:17:51 > 0:17:53- ..and we all decided to wear one.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Fans came to the gigs - wearing red neckerchiefs.

0:17:58 > 0:18:03- As with every group, the prominent - members are always in the front.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05- It's like a Cerdd Dant party.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08- The children at the front - are going like this.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- But the people at the back - are just as important.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Of course, - the percussion and rhythm...

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- ..are the key elements of the music.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Without people - such as John and Charli...

0:18:24 > 0:18:26- ..we wouldn't have been a band.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31- People don't appreciate - that they were gifted musicians.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37- John loved playing the guitar.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40- He'd go off - into his own little world.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43- And in the rock songs, - he'd liven up.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47- But John is more of a sensitive - musician than the rest of us.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Everybody thinks - that playing the drums is easy.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Everyone outside the rock world - thinks it's a matter of banging.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59- But good drummers such as Charli - are hard to find.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11- We were naughty boys.

0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Well, I was very bad, anyway. - I drank too much before a gig.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18- We drank too much.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22- It wasn't a good idea...

0:19:22 > 0:19:26- ..but at the time I'm sure - we thought it was a good idea.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Some of the gigs were awful. - They were horrible.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33- You never knew what you were - going to get with Edward H Dafis.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- # Well, I was flying up to Bangor

0:19:43 > 0:19:45- # On my own

0:19:48 > 0:19:53- # The car went like a bomb - from place to place

0:19:56 > 0:20:01- # Suddenly the caravans came - from England

0:20:04 > 0:20:08- # I turned around - and drove towards the south #

0:20:11 > 0:20:15- People ask what was it like - performing to a large crowd...

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- ..as the frontman, - with everybody screaming.

0:20:19 > 0:20:24- I was part of the audience, really.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27- It was as if I'd put the needle - on the record...

0:20:27 > 0:20:31- ..and everybody started - enjoying themselves.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33- That's what it was like for us.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37- We didn't take it seriously - in that sense.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41- We didn't regard ourselves - as pop stars at all.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- We weren't like those bands - that just stood there, posing.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Bands are meant to draw you in.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51- That's why I like Status Quo.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55- They draw in the audience - and everybody plays air guitar.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57- That's what I tried to do.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- It worked to some extent - because people came on stage...

0:21:01 > 0:21:03- ..and headbutted us at times.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06- No, they came up and played with us.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Some even came up and sang.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11- We were happy - that we'd created such a stir.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- # Stay away

0:21:15 > 0:21:19- # Stay away #

0:21:19 > 0:21:23- We had all been influenced - by bands such as The Beatles...

0:21:23 > 0:21:28- ..The Eagles and Simon & Garfunkel.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31- The bands that had made it big - at the time.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34- We lived next door...

0:21:34 > 0:21:38- ..to one of the most successful - countries in the world...

0:21:38 > 0:21:42- ..in terms of modern music, - aside from America.

0:21:43 > 0:21:48- We were being influenced - by the Anglo-American music scene.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52- It was bound to come through - in our music.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55- We didn't see anything wrong...

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- ..with borrowing from that culture.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- What mattered to us - was that the culture...

0:22:01 > 0:22:05- ..was being expressed - through the medium of Welsh.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09- The Beatles were our biggest - influence without doubt.

0:22:10 > 0:22:11- I was a huge fan.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- I had the privilege - of seeing them in 1965...

0:22:16 > 0:22:19- ..on their last British tour - at the Capitol in Cardiff.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Ringo was my favourite Beatle.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25- He didn't overdo it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:30- He just drummed along - in a way that suited the songs.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- That's what I tried to do.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- I tried to copy Ringo's style.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39- I'm still trying to do it. - I'll get it right one day.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Another of my influences...

0:22:42 > 0:22:48- ..though I'd never call him - a rock singer, was Dafydd Iwan.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52- His lyrics had inspired me.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55- I saw there was a way...

0:22:56 > 0:22:59- ..of coming up with catchy, - pertinent lyrics in Welsh.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- # The Welsh nation has been angered

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- # Our spirit is on fire

0:23:07 > 0:23:11- # Every tongue has been silenced

0:23:11 > 0:23:15- # And the weapons - have been sharpened

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- # The weapons have been sharpened #

0:23:19 > 0:23:23- We fused Anglo-American - rock influences...

0:23:23 > 0:23:29- ..with Dafydd Iwan's ethos - of what it means to be Welsh.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34- The question I'm often asked is...

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- .."Why didn't you - turn professional?

0:23:37 > 0:23:41- "People like John Peel - are playing your songs on Radio 1.

0:23:41 > 0:23:46- "You could've translated your lyrics - and done well on the English scene."

0:23:47 > 0:23:49- That wasn't our aim.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53- The aim was political - as far as I'm concerned.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57- The aim - was to use the Welsh language...

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- ..to provide contemporary music - and culture for our youth...

0:24:02 > 0:24:04- ..and the nation in general.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07- # It's great - living in a holiday home

0:24:10 > 0:24:15- # I love coming to Wales - all the way from Surrey every summer

0:24:17 > 0:24:20- # We're off to play bingo

0:24:20 > 0:24:23- # I swear, by jingo, - the climate is fine #

0:24:27 > 0:24:28- .

0:24:32 > 0:24:32- 888

0:24:32 > 0:24:34- 888- - 888

0:24:46 > 0:24:50- Usually, around a dozen songs - are needed for an album.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54- But we always left it - until the last minute.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58- If Huw Jones and Dafydd Iwan knew - that, they would have had a fit...

0:24:59 > 0:25:02- ..because they were paying - for all these resources.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Sometimes we'd turn up - with five or six songs.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09- We'd end up panicking.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14- So we'd just sit around together...

0:25:14 > 0:25:17- ..and say, - "Right, what's the melody?"

0:25:17 > 0:25:22- We'd take the melody, the hook, - and work around it.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25- "Mam and Dad go to the shop.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28- "They want to buy a lot of pop."

0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Then we'd write the tune for that.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Hefin would say, "We'll expand - the melody, you write some lyrics."

0:25:37 > 0:25:39- I don't like recording. It's boring.

0:25:40 > 0:25:44- So Cleif and I would go to the pub - to write the songs.

0:25:44 > 0:25:49- Hefin might have already written - the melody...

0:25:49 > 0:25:52- ..but he'd scribble down - any nonsense...

0:25:52 > 0:25:55- ..so that we knew the rhythm - of the words.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59- And then we'd write - the proper lyrics to those words.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03- A song would develop - from gobbledegook.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07- The Beatles did the same. - "Yesterday" was scrambled eggs.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10- # Scrambled eggs # - That's how our songs developed.

0:26:10 > 0:26:15- We'd come up with the chords - and fill in the rest.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17- We played whatever we wanted.

0:26:18 > 0:26:23- Each member - gave their input or contribution...

0:26:23 > 0:26:27- ..to the songs and their production.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30- But I had to take control.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32- That part was easy...

0:26:32 > 0:26:36- ..as it was the nature of my work - as a producer with Sain.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Hefin understood - that side of music recording.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43- I'd have liked - to have worked with a producer...

0:26:43 > 0:26:45- ..who didn't know us at all.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Perhaps the five of us - were too close.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52- I worried about my voice - on certain tracks.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55- I asked Hefin - if I could have a voice like...

0:26:55 > 0:26:57- # Lisa Pant Ddu #

0:26:57 > 0:27:02- He worked it out and I'm pleased - with my voice on that track...

0:27:02 > 0:27:05- ..not the rock and roll tracks - but the more sensitive ones.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09- # There was something about - Lisa Pant Ddu

0:27:09 > 0:27:14- # Something pure - that you don't see often

0:27:14 > 0:27:19- # Two kindred souls fused together

0:27:19 > 0:27:22- # A sweet dream - that's hard to maintain

0:27:23 > 0:27:28- # People are weak, - their veins are on fire

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- # And the poison - is starting to take over

0:27:32 > 0:27:36- # The writing's clear, - it's carved in stone

0:27:37 > 0:27:42- # Take care, don't rush, - the future is bleak #

0:27:55 > 0:28:00- We've spent three years - making endless rock and roll music.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03- We think we've done enough of it.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06- We're trying to move on.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07- Is it because you're getting older?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Is it because you're getting older?- - There's some truth in that.

0:28:13 > 0:28:18- Edward H Dafis in rehearsal - for their noisy farewell concert...

0:28:18 > 0:28:21- ..on September 11th, 1976, - in Corwen.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26- Edward H Dafis - is the only Welsh rock band...

0:28:26 > 0:28:31- ..to have enjoyed the same sort - of following as English rock bands.

0:28:31 > 0:28:35- But after filling a void in the - Welsh pop scene for three years...

0:28:36 > 0:28:40- ..the five members have decided - to quit while they're ahead.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Almost 2,000 young people - from all over Wales...

0:28:44 > 0:28:48- ..have come to Corwen Pavilion - for their send-off.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53- Hundreds of people without tickets - braved the torrential rain outside.

0:28:54 > 0:28:59- The lucky ones inside were looking - forward to the farewell concert.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07- As a young producer at the time...

0:29:08 > 0:29:12- ..I was keen to reflect - what was happening in society.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16- I wanted to examine - the strange relationship...

0:29:16 > 0:29:19- ..between Edward H Dafis - and the audience...

0:29:19 > 0:29:22- ..as it was the first - Welsh rock band since Y Blew.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25- They had a very loyal following...

0:29:25 > 0:29:28- ..and appealed - to a very different audience.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31- The atmosphere was electric.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33- I'm not talking about on stage...

0:29:34 > 0:29:37- ..but the atmosphere in the town - before the gig.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40- People from every part of Wales - had come.

0:29:40 > 0:29:44- People who had followed - Edward H Dafis from the beginning.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47- The red neckerchiefs - were all around.

0:29:47 > 0:29:51- Hundreds of people standing outside - failed to get tickets.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56- It was raining cats and dogs, - a real fire and brimstone scenario.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59- There were two power cuts.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02- An electric atmosphere - yet no electricity!

0:30:02 > 0:30:06- In the end, - the back doors had to be opened...

0:30:06 > 0:30:08- ..and everyone was allowed in.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13- I'm sure the people who were there - that night remember it vividly.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17- Corwen was a very difficult gig.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19- The elements were against us.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Someone upstairs was saying to us, - "This isn't meant to happen."

0:30:24 > 0:30:26- # You are - the sweet smell of sunshine

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- # And the tears in the waves

0:30:34 > 0:30:39- # You are Polly the parrot - that lives with Uncle John

0:30:42 > 0:30:44- # You and only you

0:30:45 > 0:30:50- # You're the only one for me #

0:30:59 > 0:31:03- Before Edward H Dafis's - farewell concert...

0:31:03 > 0:31:05- ..I was asked if I was free.

0:31:05 > 0:31:09- I said I was but I had - to keep the event a secret.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12- I kept quiet for months afterwards.

0:31:12 > 0:31:17- I went around Wales telling people - to keep the date free...

0:31:18 > 0:31:23- ..because a special event was going - to be held at Corwen Pavilion.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26- It was going to be the place to be.

0:31:32 > 0:31:36- # I marched up to some house

0:31:39 > 0:31:44- # I came across gold and silver

0:31:46 > 0:31:48- # And the pipes and drums

0:31:49 > 0:31:51- # Were playing loudly

0:31:53 > 0:31:57- # So I enlisted - with the light dragoon #

0:31:58 > 0:32:01- It took a while - to convince Hefin and Dewi Pws...

0:32:02 > 0:32:05- ..that we didn't want - to interfere on the night...

0:32:06 > 0:32:10- ..but that we wanted - to reflect what was going on.

0:32:10 > 0:32:15- If we'd interfered, that special - atmosphere we wanted to convey...

0:32:15 > 0:32:17- ..would have been lost.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20- We were keen - to show the audience too.

0:32:21 > 0:32:26- We wanted to see who was there and - how they were enjoying themselves.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29- # Come for a walk - along the lanes of the land

0:32:30 > 0:32:33- # There's a new life - in the Welsh heartlands #

0:32:33 > 0:32:37- I was on the shoulders of a man - called Meirion.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40- He was a strong farmer - who was holding me up.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43- I had long hair - and was dancing away.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46- It'd be nice - to have hair at all nowadays!

0:32:46 > 0:32:49- We were doing a dance - called Dawns Y Fro...

0:32:49 > 0:32:54- ..which Jim O'Rourke and I had - devised to depict shovelling...

0:32:54 > 0:32:57- ..as we wanted to settle - in the Welsh heartland.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00- # In the land

0:33:00 > 0:33:04- # In the land, in the land - in the land, come for a walk #

0:33:11 > 0:33:13- My world was shattered.

0:33:13 > 0:33:18- It was the worst news - I could have heard as a 15-year-old.

0:33:19 > 0:33:20- They're great.

0:33:20 > 0:33:22- Where are you from?

0:33:22 > 0:33:23- Llanddoged.

0:33:23 > 0:33:24- Llanddoged.- - Penmachno.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27- We had to go - to the farewell concert.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31- It was the end of an era.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33- Dewi Pws. Dewi Pws.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36- I didn't know - what would come next.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40- On that night in Corwen, - the rain was thrashing.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44- The weather was a true reflection...

0:33:44 > 0:33:47- ..of all the sobbing we had done!

0:33:47 > 0:33:50- # It's great - living in a holiday home #

0:33:51 > 0:33:54- It was a night of mixed emotions - for me.

0:33:54 > 0:33:59- On the one hand, I was glad to be - there to watch my favourite group.

0:33:59 > 0:34:04- But on the other hand, I was there - watching their final concert.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10- # It's lovely - living in a holiday home

0:34:11 > 0:34:14- # Oh, it's lovely - living in a holiday home

0:34:14 > 0:34:17- # It's great living sedately

0:34:17 > 0:34:20- # It's great living sedately

0:34:21 > 0:34:23- # It's fun owning two homes

0:34:24 > 0:34:26- # Oh, it's fun, it's fun, it's fun

0:34:27 > 0:34:30- # It's lovely - living in a holiday home

0:34:30 > 0:34:33- # It's lovely, so lovely, so lovely

0:34:33 > 0:34:35- # I love coming to Wales

0:34:35 > 0:34:38- # I come all the way from Surrey - every summer #

0:34:39 > 0:34:43- I remember we all went - to the front of the stage...

0:34:43 > 0:34:45- ..and shook hands with the fans.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50- We even gave one or two of them - a cwtch.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54- # To secure a position

0:34:54 > 0:34:58- # For a mortician - who comes from Birmingham #

0:34:59 > 0:35:02- I don't remember much - about the final gig.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Maybe I've blocked it from my mind.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10- But all I remember is that we - enjoyed it. Everybody had fun.

0:35:10 > 0:35:14- It was such a relief. - All the cobwebs had been blown away.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18- I was ready to start a new life - without Edward H Dafis.

0:35:18 > 0:35:19- # On the way

0:35:20 > 0:35:23- # On the way

0:35:23 > 0:35:27- # You're leaving for the city, - leaving for the city, on the way

0:35:28 > 0:35:30- # Yeah

0:35:32 > 0:35:33- # Yeah #

0:35:34 > 0:35:36- CROWD CHEERS

0:35:57 > 0:36:01- Looking back, it probably was - a mistake to split up in 1976.

0:36:01 > 0:36:07- Maybe we should have had a six-month - break and continued after that.

0:36:08 > 0:36:12- Some of us, well, all of us - apart from Dewi...

0:36:12 > 0:36:15- ..went on to form Injaroc.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17- # Eyes

0:36:17 > 0:36:20- # God knows what's behind your eyes

0:36:20 > 0:36:23- # Half a smile expresses much more

0:36:24 > 0:36:27- # Come with me - for some rock and roll #

0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Edward H Dafis was a supergroup - in itself...

0:36:30 > 0:36:33- ..but with Endaf Emlyn, - Caryl and Sioned...

0:36:33 > 0:36:36- ..they created a super supergroup - called Injaroc.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40- They performed for the first time - at the Wrexham Eisteddfod.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44- # Come with me - for some rock and roll #

0:36:45 > 0:36:48- They were booed - people were upset - that Edward H Dafis had split up.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52- They blamed Injaroc for the split.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54- It got quite nasty, actually.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58- The audience wasn't happy.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02- I felt as though we'd betrayed - a lot of people.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04- People who had followed us.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09- Unfortunately, - it became all too obvious...

0:37:09 > 0:37:15- ..when we performed - with other groups a year later.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28- .

0:37:31 > 0:37:31- 888

0:37:31 > 0:37:33- 888- - 888

0:37:48 > 0:37:49- Edward H!

0:37:49 > 0:37:51- Edward H!

0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Edward H!

0:37:53 > 0:37:54- Edward H!

0:37:55 > 0:37:56- Edward H!

0:37:56 > 0:37:57- Edward H!

0:37:58 > 0:37:59- I met Hef...

0:38:00 > 0:38:04- ..in some cafe in Cardiff, - drinking coffee au lait...

0:38:04 > 0:38:08- ..and he asked me, - "What do you think about...?"

0:38:08 > 0:38:14- No, he said, "Well, well, butty. - How about reforming the band?"

0:38:14 > 0:38:17- That's what's quoted in Y Cymro!

0:38:17 > 0:38:21- I gave it some thought - and thought it could work.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25- But I didn't want all the hassle - of loading and rigging.

0:38:25 > 0:38:31- We've hired a few roadies to help - out so it means less work for us.

0:38:31 > 0:38:35- All we have to do - is focus on the stage performance.

0:38:35 > 0:38:39- But, well, - I'm looking forward to it.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43- I missed the camaraderie - more than anything.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47- I thought we still had life - in our fingers and voices.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49- I wanted the fun back.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Did you miss the fun aspect - of Edward H Dafis?

0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Yes, it was the driving force - and I miss the fun.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Were you urged by your fans - to get back together?

0:38:59 > 0:39:04- Since splitting up, lots of people - have asked us if we're reforming.

0:39:04 > 0:39:08- Rumours started long before - we'd even discussed it.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11- There's been some pressure - to sing again.

0:39:11 > 0:39:16- There was so much fun from working - together among all the members....

0:39:16 > 0:39:20- ..that I felt a special part - of my life had been lost...

0:39:20 > 0:39:22- ..when we split up.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26- Those were the sentiments - of thousands of fans...

0:39:26 > 0:39:32- ..when Wales's most popular - rock group split up 18 months ago.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35- But everything was alright - on Saturday night.

0:39:36 > 0:39:41- A thousand fans gathered in Talybont - to witness Edward H Dafis's revival.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Despite the pressure to reform...

0:39:45 > 0:39:49- ..it was a challenge for the five - to strike a chord once again.

0:39:50 > 0:39:51- Were you in Corwen?

0:39:51 > 0:39:53- Were you in Corwen?- - No.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55- I was looking after my brothers.

0:39:56 > 0:39:56- Where did you get that T-shirt?

0:39:56 > 0:39:58- Where did you get that T-shirt?- - From Hefin Elis.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Are you a fan of Edward H Dafis?

0:40:00 > 0:40:02- Are you a fan of Edward H Dafis?- - They're brilliant. The best.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04- Were you in Corwen?

0:40:04 > 0:40:08- No. My mother wouldn't let me go.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11- I'm glad Edward H Dafis - are back together.

0:40:12 > 0:40:13- They had something special.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15- They had something special.- - What exactly?

0:40:15 > 0:40:17- People respond to them - differently.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20- Have you worn that - for the past 18 months?

0:40:21 > 0:40:24- No, but I'm wearing it - especially for the revival.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27- What's the secret of their success?

0:40:27 > 0:40:31- As Dewi Pws says, - their enjoyment rubs off on people.

0:40:31 > 0:40:32- Did Dewi Pws say that?

0:40:32 > 0:40:34- Did Dewi Pws say that?- - Yes.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37- I've never felt as nervous - as I feel today.

0:40:38 > 0:40:39- I hope it goes well.

0:40:39 > 0:40:43- I'm not usually nervous - but I am tonight.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45- I'm very nervous at the moment.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50- I think it's because we haven't - played together in public...

0:40:50 > 0:40:52- ..for such a long time.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56- But I hope it will all come together - tonight.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59- If we knew then what we know now...

0:40:59 > 0:41:04- ..it would have been better - if we'd taken a break for a year...

0:41:04 > 0:41:06- ..and come back fresh.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08- That would have been better for us.

0:41:09 > 0:41:10- Edward H!

0:41:10 > 0:41:12- Edward H!

0:42:04 > 0:42:07- # But the man paying the wages - is not satisfied

0:42:08 > 0:42:11- # He says, "Pack up your things - and get out on the street"

0:42:12 > 0:42:14- # It's hell on earth

0:42:14 > 0:42:15- # I don't stand a chance

0:42:16 > 0:42:19- # It's hell on earth - living on the dole #

0:42:19 > 0:42:23- Getting back together - was more difficult...

0:42:24 > 0:42:28- ..because it's hard to pick up - where you left off...

0:42:28 > 0:42:32- ..and create - the same momentum again.

0:42:32 > 0:42:38- But I feel that we produced some of - our best work in our second phase.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42- We were more mature...

0:42:42 > 0:42:48- ..and had all benefited and learnt - from going in other directions.

0:42:59 > 0:43:03- # Getting up in the morning, - everyone doing their level best

0:43:04 > 0:43:06- # It's hard to go back to sleep

0:43:06 > 0:43:09- # Why is life so cruel?

0:44:17 > 0:44:19- # Only the clouds

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- # A little lark and wren #

0:44:29 > 0:44:33- When I heard that Edward H Dafis - were getting back together...

0:44:33 > 0:44:37- ..you'd think, as a fan, that I'd - have been happy about that.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40- But on the contrary.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42- What people didn't understand...

0:44:42 > 0:44:46- ..was the angst that followed - after they split up.

0:44:46 > 0:44:51- For them to come back together - after two years...

0:44:51 > 0:44:53- ..I couldn't deal with it.

0:44:53 > 0:44:56- I thought they were playing - with my emotions.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59- # I'm the Maharishi, - I'm the Maharishi

0:45:00 > 0:45:02- # Get your money out - and give it all to me

0:45:02 > 0:45:05- # I'm the Maharishi, - I'm the Maharishi

0:45:05 > 0:45:08- # Get your money out - and give it all to me #

0:45:15 > 0:45:17- It was never the same for me.

0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Never go back - once something has ended.

0:45:44 > 0:45:47- Thank you very much. - Thank you so much.

0:45:55 > 0:46:00- # When night's voices - come to taunt me #

0:46:01 > 0:46:06- We were successful because people - could see that we were having fun.

0:46:06 > 0:46:09- That sense of fun bounced off us.

0:46:09 > 0:46:12- # With dew you paint the flowers #

0:46:12 > 0:46:15- Looking back and thinking...

0:46:15 > 0:46:20- ..of all the people who came to see - us and followed us around Wales...

0:46:20 > 0:46:23- ..they're the people - we mix with nowadays.

0:46:24 > 0:46:26- # Spirit of the night

0:46:26 > 0:46:29- # I beg of you #

0:46:30 > 0:46:34- I liked playing in a band, meeting - friends and having a good time.

0:46:37 > 0:46:39- # Dismiss the darkness, - bring on day #

0:46:39 > 0:46:42- The 1970s - was a fascinating decade...

0:46:42 > 0:46:45- ..for young people in Wales.

0:46:46 > 0:46:48- We were part of the development...

0:46:48 > 0:46:52- ..that was happening - in the world of entertainment.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55- # Spirit of night, I beg of you

0:46:55 > 0:46:57- # Banish my fears, - let light shine through #

0:46:59 > 0:47:01- Who could have asked for more?

0:47:02 > 0:47:05- I'm so fortunate - to know these lads...

0:47:05 > 0:47:07- ..and to have been part of it.
