-Deiniol and Lawrence, hello.

-Lawrence, you speak many languages,

-so Welsh is no sweat for you.

-I'm fluent in French and German,

-but not in Welsh yet.

-You're pretty fluent in Welsh.

-Why did you learn

-the other languages?

-rather than in the heart of it.

-Welcome to the show, Lawrence.

-Deiniol, hello!

-Deiniol isn't

-on your birth certificate, is it?

-No, not officially.

-Not yet but maybe in the future.

-Your real name is Daniel, so why

-do you call yourself Deiniol?

-Because I have the same name...

-..as the most famous rugby player

-in the world - Dan Carter.

-On Team A today, not the famous

-rugby player, Daniel Carter...

-..but Deiniol Carter.

-We saw the band

-# Red fox,

-you get hotter and hotter... #

-They won the Urdd Eisteddfod

-Rock And Pop competition...

-amazing news about a huge gig.

-I feel famous.

-Will the band succeed again?

-in #Fi Y Storm.

-Why are we clapping?

-Y Storm, a band from Llanuwchllyn,

-goes from strength to strength.

-The band works hard...

-..but the main thing

-is that they all enjoy it.

-Being in the band is fun.

-I never thought

-it would be this much fun.

-Rehearsals can be tough

-but we all do our best.

-We always have fun

-and we're always telling jokes.

-We're friends,

-even though we argue a bit.

-The girls are an important part

-of the band and we don't mind them.

-We're just here to play music.

-Practice makes perfect.

-until the big day.

-Two? Just two days?

-Yes - tomorrow, then the next day.

-The band rehearses again.

-This time with Liam,

-Osian and Guto's father.

-We've rehearsed quite a lot

-with Liam, Osian and Guto's dad.

-Dad's great.

-If I make mistakes,

-he tells me how to do it better.

-Without Liam, we wouldn't have

-made it to the Eisteddfod...

-..and we'd have no gigs.

-He's leaving tonight.

-Is he?

-Is he?

-

-Yes - where's your dad going?

-No idea. Somewhere!

-He's going on tour and we'll

-miss him in our rehearsals.

-My boys have been

-when they were around three.

-When they were big enough to open

-the barn door, get in and play.

-Y Storm will be great at the gig.

-They've played from the school

-playground to Eisteddfod festivals.

-They'll just rock it

-and have a good time.

-A few months ago, Y Storm

-was on the front page of Cip.

-They printed a diary

-in the magazine.

-We've had a bit of attention

-since the Eisteddfod...

-..and because of

-all the things we've done.

-That includes

-an interview on Radio Cymru.

-This weekend, thousands will hear

-Cadno Coch and other songs...

-..in Staffordshire.

-Y Storm can't wait.

-I'm Guto, I play the drums and I

-can't wait for the Robert Plant gig.

-Around 10,000 people will watch you.

-That's amazing.

-Hello! I'm Nel, the lead singer.

-I can't wait for the gig in Cannock.

-You've sung on the Urdd stage, but

-the crowd will be bigger this time.

-Yes. We've played to around

-100 people but this is different.

-We're going from 100 to 10,000!

-We're going from 100 to 10,000!

-

-And you can't wait.

-I'm really excited

-but nervous at the same time.

-I'm not worried.

-Aren't you?

-No. If we make a mistake,

-we make a mistake.

-Yes, in front of 8,000 people!

-It won't embarrass me

-because I'm at the back!

-# Red, white and green

-# Red, white and green #

-I'm green with envy that they

-get to support Robert Plant.

-It's a dream come true for any adult

-but they're only ten years old!

-It will be

-an incredible experience for them.

-There will be

-around 8,000 people there.

-I've never played such a big gig

-and I've been doing this for years.

-They're lucky but they deserve it.

-They're so good.

-After a busy summer

-and endless rehearsals...

-..the day of the big gig

-is here, at last.

-The snare drum is ready

-and so are the suitcases.

-The car is packed, so it's time

-for the long journey to Cannock...

-..to perform

-at the Forest Live festival.

-The famous names who've played there

-include Sam Smith, Paloma Faith...

-..Tom Odell, Olly Murs and Jessie J.

-You can add Y Storm to that list!

-The place is empty now but there

-will be thousands here soon...

-rock out on the stage.

-First, it's time to relax backstage.

-Take one, episode one.

-It's the day of the big gig.

-We've travelled

-from Bala to Cannock Chase.

-I feel beast.

-Our tent

-is next to Robert Plant's tent.

-We're so happy

-to have a chance to do this.

-My dad is in Robert Plant's band.

-Dad asked Robert Plant nicely

-if we could play and he said yes.

-This is our big day.

-We've got support passes

-for the gig.

-We've got hangers for our clothes,

-two mirrors...

-and things like that.

-This is the order of the songs

-on our set list.

-Tegid Foel, Coch Gwyn A Gwyrdd,

-Cadno Coch...

-..Anifail and Johnny B Goode.

-They've decided on their set list

-and the gig is about to start.

-Before any gig, especially

-a huge one, they need a soundcheck.

-The small crowd enjoys it.

-The next time they perform, there

-will be thousands of people here.

-The band is confident

-and looking forward to it.

-The soundcheck went really well.

-We were told there would be

-a crowd of 8,000 here...

-..but we've just heard

-that number's gone up to 12,000.

-We're about to climb the steps

-and walk out onto the big stage.

-I'm excited

-but I'm scared of making a mistake.

-I've sorted my drums out

-and we're going on stage now.

-I'm really nervous but excited too.

-Before we go on stage,

-we need a squeeze.

-Squeeze!

-Up they go to the big stage.

-A high five from Liam...

-..and an introduction from their

-head teacher, Dilys Ellis-Jones.

-Good evening. I'm here to introduce

-the next band, called Y Storm.

-They are a primary school band

-from Ysgol OM Edwards, Llanuwchllyn.

-Enjoy Y Storm.

-Our first song is about Tegid Foel,

-a monster that lives in Bala Lake.

-# Have you heard of Tegid Foel?

-# A hateful king, so the story goes

-# Always angry, his wife a witch

-# He made an enemy of everyone

-# Dafydd was playing the harp

-# On his shoulder landed a bird

-# And he warned him, 'Follow me!'

-# 'It's time for revenge,

-so scarper now!'

-# He ran to the mountain

-and rested there

-# When he was asleep,

-the storm did hit

-# And the whole town

-had been drowned

-# Tegid was under water

-# Have you heard of Tegid Foel?

-# A hateful king, so the story goes

-# Always angry, his wife a witch

-# He made an enemy of everyone #

-Our next song is Coch Gwyn A Gwyrdd.

-It's about the Eisteddfod

-and Llanuwchllyn.

-# Of all the Llans in Wales,

-Do you know which is the best?

-# Well, the Llan by the lake

-Shout it out across the land

-# Hey! The beautiful Aran area

-# Hey! The birthplace of Sir Ifan

-# He gave us the Urdd

-And the red, white and green

-# Hey! The beautiful Aran area

-# Hey! The birthplace of Sir Ifan

-# He gave us the Urdd

-And the red, white and green

-# Red, white and green #

-The gig is going well and next,

-they'll perform their big hit.

-Our next song is Cadno Coch

-and it's about a red fox.

-# Red fox, you shoot and shoot

-# Red fox, you miss and miss

-# Red fox, you shoot and shoot

-# Red fox, you're hotter and hotter

-# The grumpy farmer shoots
