-Good evening to you both.

-I'll chat to the author,

-Mihangel Morgan

-is launching his book, 60.

-Earlier, Mihangel took me to his

-three favourite places in Aberdare.

-This is Aberdare Park.

-My childhood school

-is opposite the park.

-I'd come here regularly as a child

-and have used it all my life.

-I come here every day

-to walk the dogs.

-This park is close to your heart.

-This park is close to your heart.

-

-Yes, it is.

-Why is this bridge

-one of your top three places?

-I like this bridge because

-I would walk along it as a child.

-In recent years, I've thought about

-the men who crossed this bridge.

-This bridge has been here

-since 1811.

-Few people know about it and that

-includes the residents of Aberdare.

-It's your little secret.

-It's your little secret.

-

-Yes, me and a few others.

-Mihangel's final place takes us from

-the outskirts to the town centre.

-Once again, I have childhood

-memories of coming to the market.

-Nothing has changed as it has

-the same stalls and atmosphere.

-I like the market...

-..because it has different stalls

-and shops and is full of characters.

-It's very characteristic

-of Aberdare.

-You're back in Aberdare

-so does it feel like coming home?

-Yes, but I don't feel like

-I've ever left Aberdare...

-..but have revived

-my links with the town.

-The author, Mihangel Morgan

-has joined me.

-Thanks for the tour.

-Tell us about the book.

-I don't know if it's a novel

-or a book or short stories.

-It might be micro-literature.

-It sounds like

-it will suit everyone.

-There isn't a main character.

-There are 61 chapters.

-Each of the chapters represent

-a minute in an hour.

-I'm excited about tonight.

-Go and enjoy yourself!

-Fflur Arwel is from Y Lolfa Press.

-We love it when Mihangel Morgan

-says he wants to publish with us.

-His work is creative and unique.

-He's unique.

-Dr Rhiannon Marks

-is from Cardiff University.

-You are a former student of

-Mihangel.

-I've read his work for many years.

-It's contemporary and worth a read.

-I loved my lectures

-from Mihangel Morgan.

-He's inspired me

-to go into lecturing.

-The book is worth a read.

-Angharad Wynne and Mei Emrys

-join us on the sofa tonight.

-We start with Angharad

-who has got an appeal for us.

-Welsh speaking volunteers are wanted

-to act as ambassadors...

-..to welcome visitors to this year's

-Urdd Eisteddfod in Pencoed...

-..between 29 May and 3 June.

-We want people who enjoy nature

-and culture.

-We need Welsh speakers.

-The Urdd Eisteddfod is coming

-to the area over Whitsun.

-What are the duties?

-We need people to show

-visitors around.

-We're training people who can do

-a lot of different things.

-Some of them will write blogs.

-Others will work

-at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

-There's also a demand for those who

-can lead people around the area.

-Ambassadors must volunteer for

-at least one half-day session...

-..at the Urdd National Eisteddfod

-during Whitsun week at Pencoed.

-You'll have a full day pass

-to enjoy the festivities.

-They can give information

-about the area of Bridgend.

-The people will have

-some form of training.

-They are going to be ambassadors

-for the area...

-..for the Urdd Eisteddfod and for

-more than that.

-Volunteers need to commit to

-two training days at a workshop.

-The next set of training dates are

-Tuesday 25 April, Thursday 11 May...

-People need to do two days

-of the training.

-The training is free.

-Please contact us

-if you're available.

-We already have 20 ambassadors...

-..but they cannot speak Welsh.

-However, they have formed

-their own community.

-Volunteers play an integral role.

-We saw the value of ambassadors

-at the Olympic Games.

-They welcomed people to the area.

-Who is responsible for this scheme?

-It's funded by

-the National Assembly.

-There's also the group called Reach

-and the Bridgend County Council.

-Contact us if you are interested

-in doing this.

-It's a lot of fun!

-Once again, hundreds of runners

-from Wales will pound the streets...

-..of the capital city on Sunday.

-Angharad Mair is in London

-and ready to run the marathon.

-Here's a photo of Angharad

-with her registration number.

-She wishes all the best to everyone

-running the 26 miles around London.

-Good luck to Angharad too!

-Send us a photo if you're running,

-along with your name, finish time...

-Still to come tonight,

-we remember 40 years...

-..since the death of one of our

-greatest performers, Ryan Davies.

-And Gerallt joins Osian Roberts

-at Porthmadog Football Club.

-See you in a couple of minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Tomorrow marks 40 years since the

-sudden death of the singer, actor...

-..and the popular all-round

-entertainer, Ryan Davies.

-He was one of Wales'

-most talented performers.

-Ryan died at the age of 40 whilst in

-the United States with his family.

-Yvonne remembers this lively

-character from Carmarthenshire.

-# When the night is long

-# And the dawn is far away #

-He was from Glanamman who moved

-with his parents to Llanfyllin...

-..where he lived for many years...

-..before studying at the Normal

-College in Bangor to be a teacher.

-He then moved to Croydon

-to be a teacher...

-..but he'd met

-a lot of people in college...

-..such as Rhydderch Jones

-and Philip Hughes.

-They would create

-their own Noson Lawen.

-Ryan started entertaining people

-when he was in college.

-It was during his time in London...

-..that he first met the actress,

-Gaynor Morgan Rees.

-I went to a drama college

-and joined the London Welsh...

-..where I met people such as

-Ryan, Rhydderch, Ieuan Davies...

-..Bryn and David Richards

-and Gwenlyn.

-They were the glitterati

-and I was just a groupie!

-It's no surprise that they all came

-back to Wales to work in the media.

-When Meredydd Evans was appointed as

-the Head of Light Entertainment...

-..he remembered Ryan and drew him

-away from London and education.

-He invited him to the entertainment

-world of the BBC in Cardiff.

-They created a programme called

-Ryan and Ronnie and Jill and Johnny.

-This saw the start

-of Ryan and Ronnie.

-Ryan enjoyed more fame in the

-classic comedy series, Fo a Fe.

-Play Cwm Rhondda after three...

-No, Cwm Rhondda's in two four.

-No, Cwm Rhondda's in two four.

-

-Two, four, six, eight, just play it!

-I played Diana, a young teacher

-married to George in Fo a Fe.

-Ryan played my father, Twm Twm,

-and the part was written for him.

-Twm Thomas, first national win.

-Everyone loved Ryan whether

-he was on stage or the small screen.

-He always came to

-The Coliseum Theatre in Aberdare...

-..which is the town

-where I was born and raised.

-Tickets were like gold dust and

-The Coliseum was full to bursting!

-It was thrilling for us children

-to go backstage...

-..to meet Ryan or Ryan and Ronnie

-after the show.

-I've still got his autograph and

-it sits with a framed photograph.

-I didn't know

-you'd represented Cymru.

-Yes, and I represented Wales too!

-Ryan understood Welsh humour.

-He had a rapport with audiences and

-I picked up on it when I was eight!

-Aled got to play his childhood hero

-in the film, Ryan a Ronnie.

-I had to play the harp and sing

-Cerdd Dant at the same time.

-I couldn't sing Cerdd Dant in school

-when someone else played the harp.

-I visited Ryan Davies' son, Arwyn

-and told him what I was doing...

-..but he went upstairs

-and came back with a harp.

-I recognized it straight away as

-the harp Ryan used in the sketch...

-..called My Friend and Me,

-We Are Going To Sing Penillion.

-It explained Cerdd Dant

-to a non-Welsh audience.

-It is called Cerdd Dant

-or tooth music!

-I'm not the sort of person

-who gets star struck.

-I recreated the sketch with the same

-harp as Ryan and it was incredible.

-The song that he is playing

-and the song that we are singing...

-..is the same song

-but is a different song.

-The object of the exercise

-is for us both to finish together.

-It's every man for himself in the

-middle and God help us at the end!

-# Then through the black darkness #

-It's no wonder that we still

-remember him after so many years...

-..because he was a shining man

-in so many ways.

-There's a saying "Jack of all

-trades, master of none."

-Ryan was a Jack of all trades

-and master of all.

-He could turn

-his hand to everything.

-Ryan united Welsh speakers

-and non-Welsh speakers.

-Ryan performed

-in both languages.

-Ryan said "laughter sounds

-the same in both languages."

-Who are we to argue with that?

-# As they lay me 'neath

-the green, green grass of home

-# Oh, tell Mam I'm coming

-# Oh, yeah! #

-A memorial day to remember Ryan

-is held at Llanfyllin tomorrow.

-Events start from 10.00am.

-Ryan was a remarkable talent.

-Everyone remembers his work.

-He was before my time.

-I remember watching Fo a Fe.

-It's a bit dated now.

-However, it was great.

-I remember the repeats

-of his programme.

-His clips are part of our nation.

-It was a busy and exciting afternoon

-at Porthmadog FC today.

-One of the club's heroes

-and Wales Assistant Manager...

-..Osian Roberts,

-was opening a new skills centre.

-It's been a glorious afternoon

-in Porthmadog...

-..and Osian Roberts had

-a welcome that was fit for a king.

-The Osian Roberts Skills Centre

-has a great ring to it.

-Yes, it means a lot as I spent some

-happy times here with Viv Williams.

-It was a real labour of love.

-Finding local teams and players

-from Anglesey and Gwynedd...

-..to play together in the

-premiership was very special.

-The club builds on those foundations

-with its academy for young players.

-This skills centre will help

-the next generation to develop...

-..so the club is very important

-to the community.

-You emphasized that

-it all starts in these local clubs.

-Yes, we need these clubs.

-The volunteers at Port and the

-clubs across Wales are priceless.

-They do so much for football and

-the young people in our communities.

-These people should be praised.

-Stay where you are as I want

-to talk about your busy summer.

-Phil Jones, the chairman of

-Porthmadog FC has had a great day.

-Yes, but I don't know

-how I can follow that interview!

-It's great to have Osian here.

-The latest golden age was

-when he was here with Viv Williams.

-It was a great time

-and I have fond memories of him.

-We've both gone grey,

-lost some hair and put on weight...

-..but it's great to have him back.

-I wasn't exaggerating when I said

-he was welcomed like a king.

-I texted Osh last night to tell him

-about the buzz in the club.

-Everyone is delighted to see him to

-get autographs and take photographs.

-We're also joined by some

-of the faithful members of the club.

-Dafydd Wyn Jones is one

-of the directors of the club.

-The future us behind you but what's

-the purpose of the skills centre?

-We'll run an array of courses

-that include information technology.

-It's for the whole community

-both young and old.

-Since opening, we've had about

-100 people doing various courses.

-We have a partnership

-with Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor...

-..and hope to improve the skills

-of the people of Porthmadog.

-You're helping football

-and the community.

-Yes, and we want more local people

-in professional roles...

-..having developed their skills.

-It's an important and memorable day.

-Dylan Elis

-is a regular on Welsh media.

-You've been a fan since you were a

-boy but this is another milestone.

-Yes, and Port is one of the biggest

-clubs in North Wales.

-Osian's centre will secure it

-and help the community.

-The whole town can be proud

-of the centre...

-..and hope our team reaches

-the Premier League next season.

-I've got a scoop because Llew has a

-ticket for a big event in Cardiff.

-Yes, thank you.

-Where are you going?

-It's the Champions' League Finals

-in Cardiff.

-Are you looking forward to it?

-Are you looking forward to it?

-

-Yes, I'm happy and excited.

-Enjoy the game on 3 June and

-I hope it's a good match for you.

-Hello and who are you?

-Hello and who are you?

-Ceirion Williams.

-Why is Porthmadog FC

-so important to you?

-I can show what I can do

-for the club and make a difference.

-Have you enjoyed the day?

-Have you enjoyed the day?

-

-Yes.

-Good luck and let's hope the pitch

-has star players for many years.

-Osian had a very busy summer

-in 2016...

-..and you're the president

-of the Anglesey National Eisteddfod.

-Yes, but there's a big game against

-Serbia before that!

-Well done, Geraint!

-Our next story is a lovely one

-about two friends...

-..in Penrhyn Bay near Llandudno

-who have worked together for years.

-Elin is at their salon to wish them

-all the best and hear their story.

-For the last 40 years,

-the people of Penrhyn Bay...

-..have come to Something Special for

-Joy and Muriel to cut their hair.

-Both have decided

-to hang up their scissors.

-Hello, Something Special?

-Joy was working with me

-at the greengrocers nearby.

-She saw this shop for sale so I told

-her to buy it and I'd be a partner.

-That was on 24 April 1977 so we've

-been here two days over 40 years!

-Muriel and Joy opened their salon

-together many years ago.

-Muriel owns the salon and is

-in charge of the administration...

-..whilst Joy did the hair cutting.

-We've never argued with each other

-or any of our staff.

-The girls have only left

-if they've been pregnant!

-Joy's the hairdresser

-whilst I look after the money.

-We've had a wonderful partnership

-and worked well for 40 years.

-She's got a good brain for figures

-and I haven't!

-She works everything out

-and I just listen.

-It's been the perfect partnership.

-Muriel is 86 and looks incredible

-and Joy is 71.

-It's only now you've chosen to close

-the shop so why leave it so long?

-Old age has taken over

-so it's time to have a rest.

-There's always little things to do

-and things going wrong.

-As you get older, you don't have

-anyone to rely on for those jobs...

-..so we've decided to call it a day.

-How are you feeling?

-How are you feeling?

-

-It's heartbreaking.

-I won't have any money

-to count every week.

-It's going to be emotional locking

-that door for the last time, Joy.

-I know but there comes a time

-when you've got to finish.

-I've done 54 years and my shoulders

-and arms and legs are going.

-I'll pack it in

-and have a bit of a rest.

-Joy is originally from Widnes

-near Liverpool.

-She has fond memories

-of working in the salon...

-..and has an incredible story

-about The Beatles!

-It must be 1959 or 1960 when my

-friend went out with Paul McCartney.

-We were at this place in Warrington

-and George Harrison had my scarf.

-He was cold, so I said he could

-borrow it and I never got it back.

-I don't know whether

-he's still got it in his family.

-The shop is closing but we'll

-still come here to do our hair...

-..and we're friends for life.

-I'd like to wish you both

-a very happy retirement.

-Cheers to you.

-You've drunk all yours, Joy!

-Good luck to the ladies

-in their retirement.

-Angharad Wynne

-has been our sofa guest.

-Angharad's appealing for ambassadors

-at the Bridgend and Taff-Ely Urdd.

-How can viewers volunteer

-to become an ambassador at the Urdd?

-We need Welsh speakers

-who live in the Bridgend area.

-We want them to become ambassadors

-for the area.

-Contact me now!

-You don't need to dedicate

-a lot of time to it.

-Mei Emrys and the band sing us

-out with the song, Morforynion.

-# The row of boats in the harbour

-# Have sailed away, sailed away

-# Across the waves

-# With the world's most

-beautiful girls dancing on board

-# The old sailor gazes

-at the fading sails

-# The fading sails

-# And sings songs of mermaids

-# That he knew when he was young

-# When he was young

-# When he was young

-# The tide whispers warnings

-# Of lies and deceit,

-lies and deceit

-# Tales of shipwrecked vessels

-# And a sailor losing his sanity

-# As he listens to a mermaid sing

-# Young and foolish,

-young and foolish

-# He's a fool to love her

-# And he can't believe

-that she loves him back

-# She loves him back

-# She loves him back

-# Love him back

-# She loves him back

-# Under the sea and its waves

-# The souls of many men

-# And voices of mermaids

-# Sing under the water

-# Under the water

-# Under the water #

-APPLAUSE
