-For help to follow the programme,

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

-Hello! We are Y Storm.

-That looks really cool.

-This is the story of Y Storm -

-a band from Llanuwchllyn.

-These five friends

-are rocking Wales...

-..and there's a busy summer

-ahead of them.

-This is #Fi Y Storm.

-Action!

-Osian, Guto and I

-were in the band from the start.

-Nel and Gweno

-have since joined Osian, Guto and I.

-I proved to Osian and Guto's father

-that I could play bass.

-Nel was selected

-after the Christmas show.

-She acted in it and she sang a solo.

-We thought she had

-the energy to sing, so we chose her.

-Thank you, Osian.

-I think Nel

-is the funniest member of the band.

-She does the funniest thing

-but I think it's a bit scary too.

-Oh, no!

-Catrin and Nel are the laziest ones.

-They're always together.

-They constantly leave the studio to

-go to the toilet or get some water.

-I think the most talented member

-of the band is...

-Don't say his name!

-..anyone but Osian!

-Yes - anyone but Osian.

-My Dad's called Liam

-and he plays guitar in two bands.

-He's a member of Cast

-and he's in Robert Plant's band.

-Dad has had a lot of success...

-..and he'd played

-in places like Glastonbury...

-..and he's toured America

-and Australia.

-I used to sit and play Dad's drums.

-Dad didn't start teaching me

-until I was seven or eight.

-Dad started teaching me to play the

-guitar when I was four years old.

-The school started the band...

-..after seeing us

-play in the Christmas show.

-They thought they'd form a band...

-..for the Eisteddfod

-rock and pop competition.

-All five go to Ysgol OM Edwards

-primary school...

-..and Mrs Dilys Ellis-Jones, their

-head teacher, is their biggest fan.

-The band formed four years ago.

-Osian and Guto showed potential.

-We decided

-to put a little band together.

-The school gives Y Storm

-lots of support...

-..and we're allowed

-to rehearse here if we feel like it.

-We're grateful for that.

-We perform for the school

-sometimes too, so we can practise.

-Our friends and the other children

-at the school are fans of the band.

-The little children sing our songs

-at playtime...

-..and use tennis bats as guitars,

-pretending to be us.

-That's quite funny.

-Their friends

-are very proud of them.

-It's an exciting band

-and they're really energetic.

-Each one of them is talented.

-They'll be big in the rock world.

-If they stick together, I think

-they'll go far in the future.

-I can't sing, so I don't think

-they'll let me join!

-At the moment, all five members

-of Y Storm are in primary school...

-..but that's about to change.

-Most of us move to Ysgol Y Berwyn

-secondary school this year.

-We're leaving Guto behind

-on his own.

-The band will keep going even though

-we'll be in Ysgol Y Berwyn.

-What do you think of Y Storm?

-A great band.

-The best band in the world.

-A mind-blowingly fantastic band.

-The band will compete

-in the Urdd Eisteddfod...

-..so they must rehearse.

-We competed in the Eisteddfod

-for the past two years...

-..and we managed to win.

-The competition was

-Rock And Pop Band, Year 6 And Below.

-We're rehearsing a lot because

-we want to win again this year.

-If we do well,

-we may get more gigs and stuff.

-The song must be original.

-Osian wrote this year's song

-and it's called Cadno Coch.

-The song's about a red fox which the

-farmers can never manage to catch.

-I had most of the lyrics in my head,

-then I wrote the music with Dad...

-..in the studio.

-A good song doesn't always

-just pop into your head.

-It takes time and this one's great.

-It's quite an achievement for Osian

-to be writing songs at his age.

-He's only 11 years old.

-The band members feel the pressure

-before the Eisteddfod.

-The pressure's on for Y Storm

-to win for the third time.

-This is Y Storm's first performance

-with me and Gweno in the line-up.

-We want to impress them.

-We really want

-the hat-trick of wins, don't we?

-Yes.

-Do we want to win at the Eisteddfod?

-Do we want to win at the Eisteddfod?

-

-Yes.

-Give me five.

-The Urdd Eisteddfod, Caerphilly.

-After weeks of rehearsal,

-was all that hard work worth it?

-Before the competition,

-Nel is in the makeup chair.

-When we did your first gig at school

-I had my face painted as a fox.

-It makes me feel more confident

-to dance.

-I'm not Nel any more - I'm a fox.

-That looks really cool.

-The fox is ready,

-but what about Y Storm?

-Their big moment is fast approaching

-so are there any last-minute nerves?

-I hope everything goes well.

-I'm not worried if we win or not,

-as long as we have fun on stage.

-We usually just set up

-and perform straightaway...

-..but we've decided to start

-doing a squeeze before we go on.

-A squeeze is when we put our arms

-around each other, squish in...

-..and shout, "Squeeze!"

-The final band to perform is Y Storm

-from Llanuwchllyn.

-# Red fox, you miss and miss

-# Red fox, you shoot and shoot

-# Red fox,

-you're hotter and hotter #

-Just like in every one of the songs

-Osian's written, he has a solo.

-He's got to be

-the centre of attention.

-He never gives me a solo.

-I always ask him to let me do a solo

-but he says no!

-# Red fox, wow!

-# Red fox, you shoot and shoot... #

-The performance is going well

-and the audience seems to enjoy it.

-Twm Morys, the musician,

-it the adjudicator.

-That's it.

-It's time for the result.

-They sound like a band and their

-playing was tight and brilliant.

-Excellent drumming.

-Where's the drummer?

-Well done.

-Very confident singing.

-I've played in a band

-for almost 25 years...

-..but we're not as good as them.

-Here's the result.

-Y Storm in first place.

-That performance stunned me.

-If they're this good at their age,

-what will they be like in ten years?

-They're confident

-and they're good musicians.

-We won!

-Squeeze.

-Squeeze!

-Let's do Tegid Foel again.

-A few weeks after winning

-at the Eisteddfod...

-..and the band is still on a high.

-After we won the competition...

-..we went on the pavilion stage

-to accept the medal.

-A gold medal.

-Dad's in America and when he's away,

-Osian from Candelas helps us.

-We're competing in Cann Office and

-we need to rehearse a lot for that.

-Y Storm ask me to help if they have

-a big gig or competition coming up.

-They ask for my help

-but I don't think they need it!

-I just sit here and listen

-most of the time.

-Their energy

-is their great potential.

-Most ten-year-olds are energetic

-but these are wild!

-It's hard to get them to be calm.

-They're a gang of good friends.

-That was really good.

-I think we've got to rehearse

-a bit more to get it to perfection.

-It wasn't bad at all, was it?

-What?

-What?

-

-That was good.

-Can you think of ways

-it could be improved?

-I won't spoon-feed you.

-A greater vibe and more energy.

-I'm sure that will all flow

-when you're on that stage.

-Fingers crossed.

-They all tell each other what to do

-and they're only ten years old.

-My band has only just learned to

-take advice without getting annoyed!

-This group treat each other

-with respect at ten years old!

-Considering their age,

-the standard is incredible.

-They're at the same level

-as Candelas when we were 14 or 15.

-Y Storm have mastered the craft

-aged ten...

-..so I don't want to see them

-when they're 16!

-I'll quit playing music!

-Why are we clapping?

-The band has travelled from

-Llanuwchllyn to Montgomeryshire...

-..to compete

-in the Brwydr Y Bandiau competition.

-The pressure's on to win again.

-We've rehearsed

-almost every day this week.

-We don't mind because it's worth it

-and it'll help us when we play.

-Hello. We are Y Storm.

-I think we feel really confident

-and we'll be fine today.

-As Auntie Marged

-from Llanuwchllyn says...

-..it's not about being the best

-but doing your best.

-# Have you heard of Tegid Foel?

-# A hated king, so the story goes

-# Always angry,

-his wife a witch... #

-The standard was high.

-Having to judge the competition

-made me feel sick.

-# Always angry, his wife a witch

-# He made an enemy of everyone #

-The winner is...

-..Y Storm.

-Y Storm were incredible.

-Yes, they were brilliant.

-They were all comfortable

-playing live.

-The sound they created

-takes hours of rehearsing time.

-Nel is a star.

-I can't believe

-she's only ten years old.

-Her attitude is brilliant.

-You need that.

-I'm glad Frizbee

-didn't have to follow them on stage.

-They'd have made us look bad.

-They'd have made us look bad.

-

-Definitely.

-We forgot to do the squeeze.

-Let's do it now.

-Squeeze!

-Action!

-Next time on #Fi,

-following their success...

-..Y Storm receive big news

-about a massive gig.

-Here's a chance to enjoy some chats

-Matt Johnson and I had...

-..on the Hwb sofa.

-For help to follow the programme,

-use the website and the app...

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

-Welcome.

-How are you?

-I love you!

-I love you!

-

-I love you too!

-Feel the man love on the sofa!

-Well, hello my old friend!

-Hello!

-I'm a big fan!

-Do you know I quoted Y Cwm there?

-Do you know I quoted Y Cwm there?

-

-Of course! We all knew.

-Hey, I like your beard!

-Hey, I like your beard!

-

-Do you?

-It happens every now and then!

-It happens every now and then!

-

-Matt's still trying!

-I didn't plan this.

-It started with some laziness.

-I then got used to it.

-How's the family?

-How's the family?

-

-My family's great, thank you.

-They keep me busy!

-Three girls!

-Three girls!

-

-Yes. Two daughters and one wife!

-Do they nag, nag? Go, girls!

-Yes. I'm surrounded by women,

-but it could be worse.

-Are the girls in high school?

-Are the girls in high school?

-

-No, not yet.

-Mari is ten years old, so she's

-in her final year at junior school.

-She'll go to high school next year.

-Corrie, your wife,

-has learned Welsh.

-Yes, she has learned Welsh.

-Well done, Corrie.

-Early in the proceedings...

-..we decided that she would

-speak Welsh to the children.

-That meant she had to learn Welsh

-before we had children.

-Did you and Corrie speak English

-to each other for a long time?

-Yes. I met her in Edinburgh.

-Caeredin - Edinburgh.

-Obviously,

-she didn't speak a word of Welsh.

-We spoke English to each other,

-at first...

-..then she had lessons from you.

-She had a brilliant tutor!

-She's fluent.

-Yes, she was fluent

-the day after her first lesson!

-Do you speak Welsh to each other?

-Do you speak Welsh to each other?

-

-Yes, but we speak English at times.

-On the whole,

-we speak Welsh to each other.

-This situation

-has happened on cariad@iaith.

-For example...

-..Danielle and Steffan have always

-spoken English to each other.

-They find it hard

-to change languages.

-"Today, I'm going to

-speak Welsh to you."

-How did you do it?

-Was it a gradual process?

-You're right.

-It was really difficult to get out

-of the habit of speaking English.

-It didn't really happen

-until Mari arrived.

-She was the one who really changed

-the language we spoke in the house.

-The children changed it.

-As I said, we wanted our children

-to grow up in a Welsh-speaking home.

-We had to do it.

-Come here, my love.

-Come here, my love.

-

-Welcome, Shan.

-She's dancing down the stairs!

-If that went wrong,

-it would've been brilliant!

-How are you, Matt?

-How are you, Matt?

-

-Very good, gorgeous girl.

-I wanted you

-to come on this show for years!

-Did you hear

-the build-up he gave you?

-She's got to live up to that now!

-I must have done something right!

-Yes, you have.

-Shan, I've got

-a couple of questions for you.

-You act, present and sing.

-What do you enjoy the most?

-Oh, that's a good question!

-It varies from day to day.

-In my career,

-I've often worn more than one hat.

-I enjoy horse riding too.

-Singing was my first love.

-If I go back to my childhood...

-..Mam told me I was always singing.

-Back then, I had no idea

-I'd carve out a career in singing.

-How did it feel

-to perform in the West End?

-Exciting!

-My parents and my friends

-came up for the opening night.

-Justin was there too, of course.

-My little crew

-was really excited on my behalf...

-..but I hadn't thought about it.

-I was nervous...

-..but it was thrilling.

-Let's talk about your horse.

-His name is Caio.

-Is he your best friend?

-He's my angel

-but he can also be a little devil!

-He's a really strong character.

-He's very spirited.

-It isn't always easy to handle him

-but I absolutely love that.

-He rescued me during a period

-where I needed to be rescued.

-We'd canter

-across the sand in Ogmore...

-..and I'd watch the sun setting.

-I spent hours doing that.

-It was pure therapy.

-It's like that with any hobby

-if you're passionate about it.

-You've got Caio and I've got Nia!

-It's the same thing.

-It's the same thing.

-

-Exactly.
