-Only around 6,000 people lived in

-Swansea and the area 200 years ago.

-The population has since grown...

-..with people moving here

-from Wales and beyond.

-In February 1941,

-during the Blitz...

-..German planes bombed the town.

-Around 400 people died

-and many buildings were destroyed.

-Considerable rebuilding work has

-taken place over the past 70 years.

-Swansea is now

-a big, modern city.

-There are new buildings and shops

-across the city...

-..but the old indoor market still

-attracts people from near and far.

-Swansea's iconic buildings

-include the Brangwyn Hall...

-..the Guildhall

-and the Grand Theatre.

-This area

-has a population of over 230,000...

-..and Swansea

-is Wales' second city.

-Lowri Morgan, the TV presenter

-and runner, was born in Swansea.

-Lowri, it's really nice to see you.

-You grew up in Swansea.

-What sort of place was it for you

-as a child and as a teenager?

-Let me tell you a story...

-..about something

-that happened to me a few years ago.

-I was travelling across America.

-I got chatting to a man on a bus.

-He asked me where I was from.

-Fro a small country called Wales,

-I said, and he'd heard of it.

-The one place he wanted to visit

-in the world...

-..was Swansea and the Gower.

-I told him I was from here.

-Hearing that made me realize...

-..how lucky I was to have been

-raised in a place like Swansea.

-You have the sea, you have the city

-and you have the people.

-Swansea people

-are incredibly warm-hearted.

-It has something for everyone.

-Were you brought up

-in the city itself?

-No, I lived in Gowerton,

-around 20 minutes from Swansea.

-It was once a village...

-..but it's expanded over the years

-and it's now probably a town.

-Has the city changed much?

-When I was young, there were only

-a couple of buildings in this area.

-More businesses

-have since come to Swansea...

-..so more people

-needed a place to live.

-A lot of construction

-has taken place over the years.

-A large amount of money

-is currently being invested...

-..in the regeneration

-of this wonderful city.

-You have a flat on the front, there.

-You have a flat on the front, there.

-

-Yes, and I keep glancing over at it.

-I don't live in the flat

-at the moment.

-I rent it out, unfortunately.

-I really miss living there

-every time I come here.

-The views are amazing,

-especially when the tide is out.

-I think about running all the time,

-so I like to see the beach.

-Everyone who knows you has heard you

-talk about the green gym.

-You use Swansea for running

-and for training purposes.

-Adventure and running

-are an integral part of my life.

-I'm grateful for that.

-My parents took me out to the

-Gower Peninsula from an early age.

-The Gower was only ten minutes

-from our house.

-I surfed when I was younger...

-..I rode horses on the beach...

-..and I went climbing

-on the Gower Peninsula too.

-What I do now is just an extension

-of what I did as a child.

-I'm very fortunate that my parents

-gave me such a wonderful childhood.

-If I hadn't grown up here...

-..I don't think I'd be

-the person that I am today.

-Swansea has a fine football team,

-and the Swans are flying high.

-Before they moved

-to the Liberty Stadium in 2005...

-..they played at the Vetch Field

-in Sandfields, in the city centre.

-In 2012, chef Bryn Williams

-visited Sandfields...

-..to talk to two local men

-about the Vetch Veg project...

-a public piece of art.

-The project was part

-of Cultural Olympiad Wales.

-Behind the prison, on the site

-of the old Vetch stadium...

-..there's a special garden.

-Owen Griffiths

-is the man behind this project.

-Owen, Vetch Veg was your idea.

-Tell me more about Vetch Veg.

-It's a garden

-and it's also a piece of public art.

-The garden was created...

-..in collaboration with

-the residents of Sandfields...

-..to celebrate

-Cultural Olympiad Wales 2012.

-The artwork doesn't look

-like artwork necessarily.

-It's a community project.

-It's about the way

-people talk to each other...

-..and a community working with an

-artist to create something special.

-It looks really organic.

-It's quite shabby chic, in a way.

-It's a great place in a city centre.

-It's a great place in a city centre.

-

-Yes, it's an urban utopia.

-It's an oasis

-in the middle of Swansea.

-part of Vetch Veg is Gerwyn Thomas.

-in this polytunnel.

-

-A variety of things.

-These are Bangladesh beans.

-They're a unique colour.

-from the Chinese community.

-They're people who are in their 80s.

-different vegetables here.

-I find it quite baffling.

-I've seen lots of vegetables

-but I've also spotted some berries.

-May I go and pick them?

-May I go and pick them?

-

-Of course.

-Will you be here all day?

-Will you be here all day?

-

-Yes.

-I'm cooking a dish in the oven.

-Come and taste it later.

-Join me after the break...

-..to learn about belly dancing

-with Ann Sandbrook in Pontardawe.

-By day, I'm a hairdresser.

-By night, I'm a belly dancer.

-You need the three Bs -

-boobs, bum and bottle!

-Ann has been belly dancing

-for years now.

-She teaches classes almost nightly

-and organizes shows for charity.

-She travels as far as Cairo

-to have costumes made...

-..both for her

-and for her troupe, The Divas.

-Why did you take up belly dancing?

-Why did you take up belly dancing?

-

-I needed to keep fit.

-I was at a strange age.

-I went to a few keep-fit classes.

-There were men clad in Lycra there,

-and I didn't like it much!

-I heard about a belly dancing class

-and I enjoy dancing, so I tried it.

-I took to it

-and it's very addictive.

-Once you dress up

-in all the sparkles, it's great.

-What do you wear when you dance?

-You wear skirts and coin belts,

-called shakiras.

-They jingle

-when you wriggle your body.

-When you gain more experience,

-you get a whole outfit...

-..which includes

-a sparkly skirt and bra.

-When you dance,

-you need a solid bra.

-When you lift your arms,

-everything shifts...

-..so it must fit you properly.

-You also wear coordinating shoes.

-The colours are fabulous.

-Do you feel sexy when you wear them?

-Do you feel sexy when you wear them?

-

-Yes - brilliant! It's fab.

-Ann, I'm privileged to be here.

-You don't allow many people up here.

-You don't allow many people up here.

-

-I don't allow anyone up here!

-You're the only one.

-It doesn't look like an attic

-in Pontardawe.

-It looks like a bazaar in Cairo!

-It's incredible.

-I've never seen so many sequins

-in my life.

-Do you have a favourite?

-Do you have a favourite?

-

-I'm fond of this one.

-The sequins on the dress

-make it really heavy.

-You can see through it.

-This is incredible!

-They're like metal.

-They're solid.

-Yes, there's a bra built into this.

-The dress wraps around the body

-and zips up at the back.

-This holds you in.

-This holds you in.

-

-You don't want to spill out of it.

-Do you wear these to dance?

-Yes, you wear one

-which matches your costume.

-It goes on, like so.

-I feel like a queen.

-I've just spotted this!

-Do you wear this?

-Yes, it's quite possible to wear it.

-You wear fabric underneath it

-and it goes on, like so.

-You look like Madonna!

-Why is there a pair

-of red dragon knickers up here?

-We did a show

-and I was wearing my full costume.

-For a bit of fun,

-I tucked my skirt in my bloomers.

-When I turned around,

-people saw the Welsh flag.

-You love being on stage, don't you?

-I don't care what anyone thinks!

-I'm there to have fun.

-We end with another TV presenter.

-Alwyn Humphreys

-was born in Anglesey...

-..but he moved to Swansea

-to conduct the famous Orpheus choir.

-Here he is at Tabernacle chapel

-discussing his work with the choir.

-For help to follow the programme,

-use the website and the app...

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

-I had conducted a male voice choir

-for about a year.

-The Risca male voice choir.

-A friend told me about an advert

-in the Western Mail...

-..for a conductor

-for the Morriston Orpheus.

-Why should I try for it?

-I was happy with Risca.

-My friend told me it would be like

-promotion to the First Division.

-There was no Premier League

-in those days!

-I came for an interview.

-It lasted 45 minutes...

-..in the deacons room

-of a nearby chapel.

-I heard the sound

-of men walking into the vestry.

-It was rehearsal night.

-The chairman

-put two pieces of music in my hand.

-"Now," he said, "You will go into

-the vestry and conduct the choir."

-I'd never seen them before,

-and I thought, "This is unfair."

-You always want to prepare

-before something like that.

-After half an hour,

-the chairman stood.

-"Thank you, Mr Humphreys,

-you may now go."

-They treated me like dirt.

-On the way out,

-I began to feel nauseous.

-I said, "Excuse me, but I must go."

-I ran outside

-and I vomited on the chapel wall.

-It was an awful experience.

-I drove home and promised myself

-I'd never return to Morriston.

-They phoned me a few days later...

-..inviting me

-for another audition...

-..to conduct the choir

-for an entire rehearsal.

-I said, "Thanks, but no thanks.

-I'm happy with my choir."

-But they said I could choose

-the music and take a full rehearsal.

-I came back

-and I stayed for 25 years.

-# For everyone who is loyal

-# Fighting in His name #

-I become a different person

-when I'm standing on the podium.

-In reality, I'm quite shy...

-..but when I'm there, I turn

-into a conductor and a master...

-..because there's a job to be done.

-Socially,

-I never lead conversations.

-I hope I don't!

-I'm happy to follow

-on those occasions.

-I think I must be a performer,

-to some extent...

-..or I couldn't have done

-the things I've done.

-Having said that,

-I take criticism to heart.

-I'm very sensitive.

-That's why I left Morriston Orpheus

-after 25 years.

-I felt it was going well

-at the time.

-It could only go downhill

-as I got older.

-A time comes in one's life when

-you must make momentous decisions.

-That's one of the few

-huge decisions I've made.

-I'm in touch with the choir.

-My wife was the accompanist

-and she's now the conductor.

-I'm still in touch with them

-and that's great, in one sense.

-At the same time,

-I'm glad I walked away when I did.

-Every time I visit Morriston...

-..and I see this building,

-a warm feeling washes over me.

-I think about the community

-and the sound of the choir.

-A choir is a group of people.

-Those people have shown me

-such generosity.

-I'm so happy to be back here...

-..to have the thrill

-of walking in once again.

-It's the same every time.

-I feel so passionate

-every time I walk in.

-Here, more than anywhere else...

-..I sometimes had a problem.

-I had to tell myself

-to keep my emotions under control.

-Often, I'd think back to my father

-and Uncle Willie's days...

-..with the choir in Bodffordd,

-and the experiences they had.

-If course, they felt

-as if they were in the Tabernacle...

-..when they sang

-in Capel y Gad, or in a vestry.

-That's the connection.

-I'd give anything

-for them to have lived....

-..just to see one concert

-in this chapel.
