-It's a fund-raising night

-for the London Welsh School.

-My son went to the school and

-I'm a governor of the school too.

-We're lucky that Osian Roberts

-has agreed to be interviewed...

-..by Sean Fletcher,

-a parent of a former pupil.

-There's also a harpist, delicious

-food and a typical Welsh raffle!

-Thank you

-and this is an incredible event.

-Yes, and we're joined by friends and

-supporters of the school in London.

-It's fantastic that they organized

-this event to promote the school.

-I have to ask about your new home

-as you've recently moved.

-Yes, we've been lucky to move to

-a glorious and historical building.

-There's a lot of nearby facilities

-and the children love it.

-I visited the school

-this afternoon...

-..and chatted with the pupils

-about their new home.

-I like this school

-because it's closer to home.

-There more room to play, the

-rooms are bigger and it's quieter.

-I like this school as it has a big

-garden and there's a park nearby.

-I like the school because it's

-colourful and has a lot of history.

-The windows are bigger so we don't

-need to use as much electricity.

-Do you enjoy coming to school here?

-Yes, because it has a lot of room

-for us to play.

-The children are delighted

-with their new home.

-Sean Fletcher is the parent

-of a former pupil.

-First, how are you feeling

-after the marathon?

-I'm a bit stiff and my legs are

-aching but I'm much better now.

-You did incredibly well

-and ran for a very special cause.

-It was the mental health charities,

-YoungMinds and Heads Together.

-My son has OCD

-so I wanted to do something to help.

-It's great to help

-the London Welsh School tonight...

-..because it played

-an important role in our lives.

-They are happy to have you here

-and thank you for chatting with me.

-Follow me in this direction as I

-want to chat to another gentleman.

-Sorry to cut across you.

-We all know Osian Roberts but

-you have a lot of different titles.

-You're president of the Eisteddfod

-and will join the Gorsedd this year.

-Yes, there's a long list of us.

-It's set to be a great event with a

-lot of people going to the island.

-It's going to be a great week

-on Anglesey.

-Before the summer,

-there's the game against Serbia.

-Serbia is a tough team and

-gave us a beating a few years ago...

-..but there's a new sense

-of confidence amongst the team.

-Thank you, Osian, enjoy the night

-and good luck next month.

-The event is getting underway

-but I'm going inside...

-..to try and find a Welsh football

-jersey signed by the whole team.

-It's meant to be sold in the auction

-but I'm going to hide it!

-I hope he doesn't get the shirt!

-That's it for now,

-but there's plenty still to come.

-Llanddewi Brefi Hall is filling fast

-for an evening with Bois Y Rhedyn.

-It's Mental Health Awareness Week

-on S4C.

-Meinir Ann Thomas from Rhydargaeau

-shares her personal experiences...

-..and encourages us to talk

-and tackle the stigma.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Since Monday, S4C has highlighted

-Mental Health Awareness Week.

-Several programmes that discuss

-the matter have been broadcast.

-You can watch them again

-on iPlayer or Clic.

-This weekend, you can see

-two powerful programmes...

-..about the affects of suicide on

-family and post-natal depression.

-A hidden epidemic

-is on the rise across the world.

-In Wales, it kills someone

-almost every day...

-..but we don't talk about it.

-We look like a perfect,

-normal family...

-..but I've been battling with

-depression since giving birth...

-..or post-natal depression.

-At 56 years old, he hanged himself

-at home on the farm.

-I don't want to be sad.

-I want to be happy.

-It's kills more lives than cancer,

-heart disease and road accidents...

-..but we don't talk about it.

-A majority of people

-have stopped asking how I am...

-..and unfortunately

-I don't feel great.

-OK.

-Meinir Ann Thomas from Rhydargaeau

-joins us now.

-Some hard-hitting words

-and stories there, Meinir.

-But they're words

-that you can relate to.

-You also suffered for many years.

-Tell us your story.

-I can empathize with those people

-in that video.

-I lost my mother

-when I was ten years old.

-It was when I started

-to feel depressed.

-I did find ways of getting myself...

-..out of feeling depressed.

-In the Sixth Form, I had bad acne.

-My doctor sent me to

-the specialist...

-..and I was put on medication.

-The medication affected my life...

-..and I got to the stage

-where I wanted to take my life.

-I stopped taking the medication.

-The hospital refused to see me

-before my appointment.

-I told them that

-I was stopping my medication.

-They told me that

-it was my decision!

-There wasn't a lot of support

-at the time.

-I was sent to a counsellor.

-It didn't make a lot of difference.

-I felt too young to feel that way.

-I thought depression only

-affected older people.

-You have been very brave

-to share your story.

-But you've come through this all.

-We want to show people there

-is light at the end of the tunnel.

-I stopped that medication

-ten years ago.

-I've had a few knocks

-in those ten years...

-..but the depression

-didn't come back.

-I hope it doesn't back!

-What is your advice for others?

-I want people to know

-that there is hope.

-I got through it.

-Other people can get through it too.

-This week, we've been trying

-to tackle the stigma behind it.

-It's been important to hear all the

-stories...

-..that have been heard as part

-of Mental Health Awareness Week.

-I hope people can speak out

-about their problems.

-Next, we venture to Llanddewi Brefi

-as Owain Gwynedd awaits our company.

-Good evening to you both.

-Welcome to Llanddewi Brefi.

-Thanks to Meinir

-for sharing her story.

-It's important

-that we talk about mental health.

-I know how difficult it

-is to speak about this issue.

-The village hall is busy filling up

-at Llanddewi Brefi for the concert.

-Bois Y Rhedyn

-are launching their CD.

-Dorian, Iwan and Emyr

-are keeping people entertained.

-It's great to see

-so many people here.

-Tell us about Bois Y Rhedyn.

-It started in the Young Farmers

-of Llanddewi Brefi.

-We got too old to be

-in the Young Farmers...

-..so decided to stay together.

-You are local lads too.

-Yes, but we've never performed

-in Llanddewi Brefi.

-We wanted to thank the village.

-I don't know

-why we chose to record the CD.

-We were approached

-and asked to record the CD.

-We didn't think that we were

-good enough.

-There are 14 tracks on the CD.

-How did you choose them?

-Nobody argued about the songs!

-We chose 14 of our best songs.

-These are songs

-that we hope people enjoy.

-What's happening tonight?

-We're singing songs from the CD.

-There's also some sketches and

-Sam Jones is entertaining us too.

-You are performing for us later.

-Tonight's song

-is called Dallt y Gem.

-Back to you in the studio.

-Thank you, Owain.

-You're familiar with that area,

-Ifan.

-Did you recognize

-anyone at the event?

-Yes, I know all the lads.

-I know a lot of stories about them!

-I can't say any more.

-Good luck to them.

-It's time for another break,

-but there's plenty still to come.

-We count down to the

-Eurovision Song Contest...

-..with Welsh songstress Lucie Jones

-who's representing the UK this year.

-It's set to be a great night

-in Ukraine tomorrow...

-..and also for Ammanford as it

-marks a centenary of its choir.

-We take a trip down memory lane!

-Join us in a couple of minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's an important night

-in Caernarfon.

-Tomorrow, all eyes are on Kiev

-for the Eurovision Song Contest.

-A number of people from Wales

-have represented the UK.

-Let's hear more about Wales' role

-in the Eurovision Song Contest.

-The Eurovision Song Contest

-is a great excuse for a party...

-..to collect years of memorabilia

-and judge the worst dressed.

-It can be a bit of fun but is the

-highlight of the year for many.

-The Eurovision Song Contest

-started in 1956 and has grown a lot.

-This year's contest is in Kiev

-in the Ukraine...

-..and Eurovision fans

-are very excited.

-Wales has left its mark since the

-contest started over 50 years ago.

-The Welsh

-have been very successful...

-..and it started with Mary Hopkin

-from Pontardawe in 1970.

-Nicky Stevens of Brotherhood of Man

-is also from Wales.

-In 2002, we had Jessica Garlick

-from Kidwelly...

-..and the most recent

-has been Bonnie Tyler from Neath.

-It's massive and quite competitive

-but does the UK take is seriously?

-We've come second

-more than any other country.

-I don't think the country

-has ever taken it seriously.

-In the 1960s, when McCartney and

-Lennon were conquering the world...

-..we had Kenneth McKellar

-wearing a kilt in the contest!

-Everyone remembers

-the 1974 contest with ABBA.

-ABBA was a super group from Sweden

-with incredible songs.

-They would have been famous

-without the Eurovision.

-I think British music is too

-developed for the Eurovision...

-..but politics also plays

-a major role in the contest.

-This year, the UK entry is the Welsh

-girl from Pentyrch, Lucie Jones.

-I hope that people are behind me

-with Eurovision.

-The song is really good and

-it's co-written by a former winner.

-Emmelie de Forest won in 2013.

-She co-wrote my song Never Give Up

-On You so I hope it's a good thing.

-# Just give me your hand

-and hold on #

-I hope the UK doesn't get nil points

-as Lucie Jones' song is incredible.

-Europe doesn't tend to vote for us

-so we might get 12 from Ireland!

-Will the Welsh flag make

-an appearance tomorrow night?

-My family, friends from home

-and my fiance are coming.

-They'll be bringing

-Welsh flags with them.

-Maybe I'll paint a dragon on my leg,

-so it's hidden but I know about it.

-I'll be proper Welsh on the stage.

-What about the parties

-and the celebrations?

-Every year,

-we have a big Eurovision party.

-We're each appointed a country,

-will dress up and have a great time.

-I'll try and drink a bottle of wine

-from each country.

-After four songs,

-I won't care about the winner!

-I'm joined by the singer,

-Joe Woolford.

-Joe was last year's UK entry

-at the Eurovision Song Contest.

-The competition

-has transformed your life.

-Yes, the contest

-has changed my life.

-It was incredible

-to represent the UK.

-I'd do it again tomorrow if I could.

-How did you reach the contest?

-Jake and I met on The Voice.

-We had a manager.

-We were shortlisted

-for a programme on the BBC...

-..and we won the programme.

-Jake and Joe still perform.

-We've recorded a few songs.

-We're still gigging.

-What's your advice for Lucie?

-I'd tell her to have fun.

-Make sure you remember it all!

-Where will you be tomorrow?

-There are Eurovision Song Contest

-parties.

-I'm in London.

-Jake and I will be in London.

-We're singing our Eurovision song.

-It'll be great to see other

-friends too.

-You have also travelled the world.

-But Ruthin is your home.

-It's still very important to me.

-I still live there.

-I'll never leave it.

-Good luck in London tomorrow night.

-I don't know about the idea

-of having a bottle of wine...

-..for each song.

-I'll give it a good try!

-Back to you in Llanelli.

-Will you be watching

-the Eurovision Song Contest, Ifan?

-I hope to be celebrating

-tomorrow night.

-I taught Lucie to shear a sheep!

-Her song is fantastic.

-A lot of people think

-she's going to do well.

-I like Eurovision.

-We did discuss it...

-..and I liked Puppet on a String.

-I liked Cliff Richard

-and Congratulations.

-Michael Ball was my favourite.

-What about Cheryl Baker?

-There was also Sonia!

-Ammanford will celebrate 100 years

-of the town's choir this weekend.

-We believe that its conductor,

-Indeg Thomas is the oldest in Wales.

-We've been reminiscing and looking

-forward with Indeg and the choir.

-The choir was established in 1917.

-The conductor at that time

-was Gwilym R Jones.

-I'm proud to be a former pupil of

-Gwilym R Jones when I was fifteen.

-Little did I know that I'd follow in

-his footsteps and conduct the choir.

-Indeg is great but very strict.

-She very intelligent

-but has plenty of humour.

-She stands for two hours

-whilst the rest of us are seated.

-She works incredibly hard

-and we enjoy singing for her.

-Without her,

-we wouldn't be here today.

-I don't know

-if I'm the oldest conductor.

-I'll turn 86 in September.

-The choir helps keep

-my feet firmly on the ground.

-I'm originally from North Wales and

-found that people here are great.

-We have a lot of fun at the centre.

-This Saturday will be

-an important night for us.

-Rebecca Evans has accepted

-our invite to sing as a soloist.

-The local brass band

-will also perform for us.

-Everyone's welcome to the All Saints

-Church at 7.00pm, on Saturday night.

-Don't forget about the concert

-and a happy birthday to the choir!

-In the final part of

-tonight's programme...

-..we mark Limerick Day by revealing

-the worthy winner of this cup.

-We set the first line of our

-limerick on Wednesday night...

-..and we've been inundated

-with your entries!

-And Huw showcases fashion from

-The Marine Hotel in Aberystwyth.

-We return to Llanddewi Brefi to hear

-a song off the new Bois Y Rhedyn CD.

-Welcome back to Heno

-on National Limerick Day.

-On Wednesday, Aneirin set

-the first line of our limerick.

-"Making a fortune takes my fancy..."

-Inspiration was taken

-from Fancy a Fortune?

-We've enjoyed reading your entries.

-But the final word goes to the Chief

-Bard and our judge, Aneirin Karadog.

-I'm delighted that we had a great

-response to the limerick challenge.

-We had well over a dozen entries

-but I can't read them all...

-..as the Heno viewers were too

-provocative for the pre-watershed!

-I'd like to read you a few and I'll

-also reveal the winner in my view.

-The theme was the wheel in the game,

-Fancy A Fortune?

-The line we set was

-"Making a fortune takes my fancy..."

-These two were by the same poet.

-"Making a fortune takes my fancy, so

-I'll organize a holiday that's tidy

-"But my husband was blue

-and caused quite a to-do

-"Saying what on earth

-is wrong with Caerphilly?"

-That's a touch sarcastic but I hope

-you're prepared for the next one.

-"Making a fortune takes my fancy to

-buy a lot of clothes that are sexy

-"When I went to the shop,

-to look for a top

-"There was nothing

-to fit a size 20!"

-Let's move to the best.

-"Making a fortune takes my fancy,

-one spin and I could be wealthy

-"A celeb gives it a spin

-and I feel I could win

-"But the idiot

-gave the 1,000 to Nancy!"

-I must be the idiot because I spun

-the wheel but she only won 100.

-I hope for more luck next time.

-I think this has to be the winner.

-"Making a fortune takes my fancy,

-1,000 would certainly be handy

-"The wheel has a spin

-and I feel I could win

-"And a kiss from Llinos

-would be lovely!"

-Will you give Vaughan Evans

-from Tregaron a kiss, Llinos?

-I think he deserves it!

-Congratulations to Vaughan Evans

-who is the King of Limericks.

-This cup is on its way to you

-in Tregaron!

-Do you know Vaughan?

-Vaughan is the editor

-of the local newspaper, Y Barcud.

-I can take the cup to him.

-Congratulations to him.

-I'll give you a kiss too!

-What attracts hundreds of people

-to Aberystwyth on a Thursday night?

-Music, fashion and models of course!

-Nothing beats seeing a close-knit

-community coming together...

-..to organize an event to raise

-funds that helps the local area.

-This is what's happening

-at the Marine Hotel in Aberystwyth.

-The forum was established

-four years ago...

-..after Communities First

-left the village of Penparcau.

-We had to find a way to run events

-for the village...

-..so that people remained proud

-of the area.

-Tonight is just one

-in a long line of events.

-The new community centre opens

-in July so it's an exciting time.

-Julie organized the show

-and was very busy!

-I worked with the forum

-and they told me to host an event.

-I chose to host a fashion show.

-The last fortnight was great and I

-enjoyed it but it was a lot of work.

-Anita hasn't been to a fashion show

-and isn't a hair dresser either!

-No, but Julie asked me to come and

-help and this device does it all!

-It's an exciting place

-with all hands on deck.

-Yes, and everyone has come to help

-and have done a great job.

-All the shops in the Aberystwyth

-area supported the night.

-We've done two shows before

-and do it to promote Matalan.

-This is for the Penparcau Forum and

-my husband worked at Penparcau...

-..so it's close to my heart

-and I hope people enjoy it.

-Think again if you believe that

-modelling is just for teenagers.

-This is Diane, John and Jackie and

-all three are on the catwalk later.

-Is this your debut as a model, John?

-Yes, and I've never done

-anything like this before.

-Are you looking forward to it?

-Are you looking forward to it?

-

-Yes, sort of!

-I get to see what's been happening.

-You've having lager and lime first

-Yes, but where is it?

-Some are in their nineties but prove

-that age doesn't have to stop you.

-Lowri is sitting down as

-it isn't the easiest night to host.

-It's fantastic and the young people

-wanted to model and take part.

-The organizers included everyone

-in this and it's been great.

-I'm delighted because

-it's been absolutely fantastic.

-It's been hard work but everyone

-and the children have enjoyed it.

-There's been an amazing crowd but

-I'm ready for a glass of wine now!

-It's great to see an event that

-was organized for the community.

-The presenter, Ifan Jones Evans

-has joined us tonight.

-You brought little Heti

-into the studio.

-Yes, Heti is six months old.

-She's starting to get a personality.

-She's been out on the tractor.

-You're on the radio in the morning.

-I'm on the programme in the morning.

-How will you prepare for the match?

-I'll have pasta

-and have an early night...

-..no, that's a lie!

-The Bois Y Rhedyn concert

-is well-underway at Llanddewi Brefi.

-Let's enjoy a song

-from their latest CD.

-# I don't want

-to hear about the argument

-# The poor tenant and his land or

-the church that always wants more

-# The threat, the fist, the swearing

-# For not giving a tenth to the

-bishop who lives out of the parish

-# Give me

-# Wink by here, a cough over there,

-a nod of the head or raise a hand

-# "Are you still in?" Yes, of course

-# This bargain is a cheap as chips

-# Lifting spirits by causing steam

-# Ap Mwrog understands the game

-# Politics is a load of nonsense

-# It's only a bunch of stupid men

-who choose one side of the deal

-# By choosing not to run

-with the tide

-# All water will run through my mill

-and I'll still get my gossip

-# Give me

-# Wink by here, a cough over there,

-a nod of the head or raise a hand

-# "Are you still in?" Yes, of course

-# This bargain is a cheap as chips

-# Lifting spirits by causing steam

-# Ap Mwrog understands

-# Ap Mwrog understands

-# Ap Mwrog understands the game #

-Yeah!
