0:21:070:21:12

-What are you singing for us tonight?

0:21:130:21:17

-It's a song that Gethin has written.

0:21:170:21:22

-It's the one we performed

-in the Bluebird.

0:21:270:21:31

-I'm sure Nashville has helped you.

0:21:330:21:37

-Yes, and we got to meet

-some great people.

0:21:420:21:47

-They went out of their way to help.

0:21:470:21:49

-After the break...

0:21:490:21:51

-..we count down to the Tir na n-Og

-award ceremony with poet, Anni Llyn.

0:21:520:21:56

-She's one of five to be shortlisted.

0:21:560:21:58

-at the Iorwerth Arms in Bryngwran.

0:21:580:22:02

-Welcome back to Heno.

0:23:220:23:24

-The Madam Wen Festival

-is taking place at Bryngwran.

0:23:260:23:32

-Erin Telford is on the stage.

0:23:340:23:37

-Let's hear more about Madam Wen.

0:23:370:23:40

-The solicitor, WD Owen,

-penned Madam Wen...

0:23:400:23:44

-..and created the character,

-Einir Wyn, who was Madam Wen.

0:23:460:23:49

-The squire, Morys Williams, was

-head over heels in love with her.

0:23:500:23:53

-The novel is about his efforts

-to marry Einir Wyn...

0:23:530:23:57

-..but he doesn't know

-that she is Madam Wen.

0:23:570:24:00

-This is the novel,

-we've watched them film...

0:24:040:24:08

-..and this is the home of WD Owen.

0:24:080:24:10

-But there are new developments

-in the story of Madam Wen.

0:24:100:24:14

-It happened whilst searching for

-the original version of the novel.

0:24:140:24:19

-I stumbled across an English version

-from 1937 by Richard Parry.

0:24:190:24:25

-Every page of this story

-is in his own handwriting.

0:24:260:24:30

-Who is Richard Parry?

0:24:300:24:33

-We believe he was a parishioner.

0:24:330:24:37

-It's great to have the English copy

-back at Bryngwran for the festival.

0:24:380:24:43

-The folk of Bryngwran continue

-to say "Hello, Madam Wen!"

0:24:450:24:50

-Marged played the main character

-in the film adaptation.

0:24:500:24:56

-You must have fond memories as we

-sit at the heart of Madam Wen land.

0:24:560:25:02

-Yes, I knew of the legend of

-Madam Wen before reading the novel.

0:25:020:25:07

-Everyone knew who was Madam Wen.

0:25:070:25:10

-People referred to Madam Wen

-when talking about the weather.

0:25:100:25:15

-Madam Wen would appear

-from the white mist...

0:25:150:25:20

-..in her white cape

-whilst riding her white horse.

0:25:200:25:25

-From the mist.

0:25:250:25:28

-Yes, Marged Esli played Madam Wen.

0:25:290:25:33

-Anglesey actor, John Pierce Jones,

-played the squire, Morys Williams.

0:25:330:25:38

-What's happening here?

0:25:380:25:41

-I recall arriving on the farm at

-Tre-Ysgawen Country House Hotel.

0:25:420:25:47

-Hundred2 of horses past us and

-there was a wild one in a truck.

0:25:480:25:54

-They said "Get John mounted" and

-they're brought this beast to me.

0:25:560:26:02

-Fury was a Spanish stallion who

-starred in the Lloyds Bank adverts.

0:26:040:26:08

-Hey! Wait a minute,

-I want to talk to you!

0:26:090:26:14

-I'm delighted that Bryngwran

-is hosting the Madam Wen Festival.

0:26:140:26:19

-I'm looking forward to watching the

-film again and see familiar faces.

0:26:200:26:24

-They were huge talents

-who have sadly left us.

0:26:240:26:28

-Bryngwran children

-are singing on the stage.

0:26:460:26:50

-The emphasis is on entertainment.

0:26:500:26:55

-It's a busy weekend.

0:26:550:26:59

-Dafydd Iwan is here tomorrow.

0:26:590:27:03

-JR has a lecture on Monday

-about Madam Wen.

0:27:080:27:12

-There's also a tour to

-the cave where Madam Wen...

0:27:160:27:22

-..hid a lot of things.

0:27:240:27:27

-You also have a part

-in the story of Madam Wen.

0:27:330:27:37

-I play a part

-in the story of Madam Wen.

0:27:370:27:40

-It was the early 1980s.

0:27:410:27:43

-I was in a pantomime.

0:27:430:27:45

-I played Madam Wen.

0:27:450:27:50

-I was much younger then.

0:27:510:27:55

-Ifan Pritchard has appeared

-on Heno before.

0:28:000:28:05

-I was named after my grandfather.

0:28:070:28:12

-It was great to sing on the stage...

0:28:140:28:19

-..with people who remember Taid.

0:28:190:28:23

-I perform in his name.

0:28:260:28:30

-Thank you for chatting to me.

0:28:300:28:34

-There isn't any wildlife

-for Iolo here tonight.

0:28:410:28:44

-It's still lively!

0:28:440:28:47

-Bank Holiday Monday marks the 100th

-birthday of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

0:28:470:28:51

-He was the youngest president

-to be elected in the United States.

0:28:520:28:56

-He was the first Catholic president

-and the man who we all knew as JFK.

0:28:560:29:00

-His assassination in Dallas

-has been a talking point for years.

0:29:000:29:04

-And everyone knew where

-they were when it happened.

0:29:040:29:08

-Here's Rhodri Davies

-with JFK's story.

0:29:080:29:10

-He was born in Massachusetts...

0:29:110:29:13

-..as the second son of Joe Kennedy,

-the billionaire and businessman.

0:29:130:29:17

-He was a Catholic

-who hailed from Ireland.

0:29:180:29:22

-It's rumoured he was with the Mob

-and bootlegging during prohibition.

0:29:220:29:28

-This was a man

-who wanted to go places.

0:29:280:29:31

-The eldest son, Joe Junior

-was killed during World War II...

0:29:310:29:34

-..and John was also injured.

0:29:350:29:37

-The fact that JFK had won a medal

-was ideal to invoke sympathy...

0:29:370:29:43

-..and pride in this hero.

0:29:450:29:49

-Marrying Jacqueline Bouvier was

-a wise step towards the White House.

0:29:490:29:54

-He was young, good looking

-and had a beautiful wife.

0:29:550:30:00

-They created their own mystery.

0:30:000:30:04

-There was a spirit of success

-in the United States.

0:30:040:30:08

-In the 1960 election, Kennedy and

-Nixon agreed to a debate on camera.

0:30:080:30:14

-It was a wonderful opportunity

-for the young democrat.

0:30:140:30:17

-He looked good

-and gave a clear argument.

0:30:170:30:20

-Nixon always looked shifty

-and Kennedy took advantage of that.

0:30:200:30:24

-He won the debate

-and only just won the election.

0:30:240:30:29

-Some claim he had the assistance

-of the Mafia.

0:30:290:30:32

-His speech on accepting

-the presidency was iconic.

0:30:330:30:37

-Ask not what your country

-can do for you.

0:30:370:30:40

-Ask what you can do

-for your country.

0:30:400:30:44

-The same is true of the response

-to the crises that followed.

0:30:440:30:48

-Vietnam, the Berlin Wall, the

-famous Ich bin ein Berliner speech.

0:30:490:30:54

-We also had the Bay of Pigs.

0:30:540:30:57

-The biggest challenge came with

-his failure to overthrow Castro.

0:30:570:31:02

-Fidel Castro claimed

-that they didn't feel safe...

0:31:020:31:06

-..and they were 100 miles away

-from America.

0:31:060:31:09

-They invited the Soviet Union to

-bring their missiles to the island.

0:31:100:31:15

-Russia and America came very close

-to having a nuclear war.

0:31:160:31:21

-It's lucky that Kennedy stood up

-to Khrushchev and peace returned.

0:31:220:31:27

-You had this young man.

0:31:280:31:30

-He wasn't like Alex Douglas-Hume

-or Macmillan or Harold Wilson.

0:31:300:31:34

-He looked as hip as The Beatles.

0:31:340:31:37

-But failures and dubious links of

-this ladies' man are often ignored.

0:31:380:31:43

-Any young person in office is

-instantly compared to the Kennedys.

0:31:440:31:49

-When a wealthy person such as

-Donald Trump enters into office...

0:31:500:31:53

-..then comparisons

-are not made in the same way.

0:31:540:31:57

-There was something obsessive

-about this man and women.

0:31:580:32:02

-The most famous person

-in his life was Marilyn Monroe.

0:32:020:32:06

-He also enticed female students

-into the White House...

0:32:070:32:11

-..and a former girlfriend

-of Frank Sinatra.

0:32:110:32:15

-His contribution was immense as he

-launched the US drive to the moon...

0:32:150:32:19

-..and fought for equal

-and civil rights.

0:32:190:32:25

-The events of that dark day

-in Dallas shook the world.

0:32:250:32:30

-It was 22 November 1963 and we had

-our first television in Harlech...

0:32:300:32:36

-..and I remember crying when I heard

-that he had been assassinated.

0:32:360:32:42

-People questioned

-whether one man was responsible.

0:32:420:32:47

-He couldn't be interrogated

-because he was shot by Jack Ruby.

0:32:470:32:53

-We couldn't learn the truth

-so it's shrouded in mystery.

0:32:530:32:58

-He didn't manage to accomplish

-everything that he wanted.

0:32:590:33:04

-A story without a conclusion

-invites people to complete it.

0:33:040:33:10

-It's odd to think of JFK

-being 100 years old.

0:33:100:33:16

-In our minds, he's still young

-and handsome with a beautiful wife.

0:33:160:33:21

-He's frozen in time

-so we cannot comprehend his legacy.

0:33:230:33:28

-It's an incredible story.

0:33:380:33:41

-Still to come on the programme...

0:33:410:33:43

-..Gethin and Glesni perform

-their song, Dal Y Gannwyll.

0:33:440:33:47

-We also join Yvonne.

0:33:470:33:50

-It's 40 years since

-the birth of this song.

0:33:500:33:52

0:34:220:34:25

-# It's always fun to be

-in your company #

0:34:260:34:30

-Take us back 40 years, Geraint.

0:34:310:34:34

-How did you pen the melody

-and lyrics for Hei Mistar Urdd?

0:34:340:34:40

-In 1977, I worked for the Urdd

-with a small team in Aberystwyth.

0:34:400:34:45

-Wynne Melville Jones

-was the marketing officer...

0:34:450:34:49

-..created the character

-of Mistar Urdd and wanted a record.

0:34:490:34:54

-I was available and cheap, with

-the band, Hergest, and a songwriter.

0:34:540:34:59

-# Hey, Mistar Urdd

-in your red, white and green #

0:35:000:35:04

-The record was a bit of a mixed bag

-as Wynne chose Emyr Wyn to sing...

0:35:040:35:10

-..who then got Hywel Gwynfryn

-to play drums.

0:35:110:35:17

-It's the only song that exists

-with Hywel playing drums!

0:35:170:35:21

-The song was recorded at the

-Sain studios on Stacey Road...

0:35:220:35:26

-..that were used by the BBC

-but a host of different things too.

0:35:260:35:32

-I don't think the BBC knew about

-half the things that happened.

0:35:320:35:38

-We had fun 40 years ago and I

-remember it as if it were yesterday.

0:35:380:35:44

-# Hey, Mistar Urdd

-come for a stroll along the roads #

0:35:440:35:49

-The song has enjoyed remixes

-by the band, Cic and Rapsgaliwn.

0:35:500:35:54

-# Yeah, yeah

0:35:540:35:56

-# Hey, Mistar Urdd,

-Hey, Mistar Urdd #

0:35:570:36:01

-It was fun and it's an iconic song

-that I remember from my childhood.

0:36:020:36:07

-The experience was quite terrifying

-but a lot of fun too.

0:36:070:36:11

-# With the best friends

-you'll get in the whole world #

0:36:110:36:15

-To this day, children across Wales

-dance with me to Hei Mistar Urdd.

0:36:150:36:20

-Everyone loves it as it's simple

-and an easy song and dance to learn.

0:36:210:36:26

-They just love it!

0:36:280:36:31

-Star jump, star jump.

0:36:310:36:34

-The song, Hey, Mistar Urdd is great.

0:36:350:36:38

-I dance to the song at school

-and at home with my brother.

0:36:380:36:44

-I sing the song, Hey, Mistar Urdd

-and school and enjoy it.

0:36:440:36:48

-I remember the song

-from my childhood...

0:36:480:36:52

-..and when I went to the camps in

-Glan-llyn, Llangrannog and Cardiff.

0:36:520:36:57

-We always sang it in discos

-and did the dance.

0:36:570:37:01

-I also have fond memories of it

-at the jamborees in school.

0:37:010:37:06

-The song came easily and

-it helped that the word "Urdd"...

0:37:070:37:11

-..rhymes with the Welsh word

-for green which is "gwyrdd"...

0:37:110:37:15

-..which is one of the colours

-on the Urdd badge.

0:37:150:37:18

-It would have been far more

-difficult if it was pink instead!

0:37:180:37:23

-I'm amazed that the song

-is still popular after 40 years.

0:37:230:37:27

-The secret could be

-in its simplicity.

0:37:270:37:31

-There's better records to be had

-but Hei, Mistar Urdd has survived.

0:37:310:37:36

-It's an iconic song that will

-be here for another 40 years...

0:37:360:37:41

-..because it's that good.

0:37:410:37:45

-# Hey, Mistar Urdd

-come for a stroll along the roads

0:37:450:37:50

-# We'll sing our song

-to the youth of Wales

0:37:500:37:54

-# Hey, Mistar Urdd

-in your red, white and green... #

0:37:540:38:00

-You look like Mistar Urdd!

0:38:050:38:09

-I've got red socks.

0:38:120:38:14

-The Tir na n-Og award ceremony

-is held on the Maes next Thursday.

0:38:140:38:18

-This week on Heno, we've met

-all five authors on the shortlist.

0:38:180:38:21

-Tonight, we conclude

-with poet, Anni Llyn.

0:38:220:38:24

-Dim Ond Traed Brain is a colourful

-and pretty book of poems.

0:38:310:38:36

-The poems range from being fun

-to serious and many ask questions.

0:38:370:38:43

-And it smells...

0:38:480:38:51

-I was appointed the Welsh

-Children's Poet Laureate in 2015.

0:38:510:38:56

-In 2016, I was commissioned

-to write a book of new poems.

0:38:560:39:02

-Most of the poems are based

-on the memories of my childhood...

0:39:020:39:07

-..and my experiences with children

-as the Children's Poet Laureate...

0:39:080:39:12

-..and in my career

-of working in children's media.

0:39:130:39:17

-'Reading

0:39:170:39:19

-'Hush, listen

0:39:200:39:22

-'There isn't a sound,

-the room is silent

0:39:220:39:25

-'There's nothing moving

-and nobody's whispering

0:39:250:39:30

-'But something's driving excitement

-along the shelves

0:39:300:39:34

-'Something lurking in the books

-and hiding in the words

0:39:340:39:39

-'Something magical.'

0:39:390:39:42

-Poetry can be very difficult

-to define to a child.

0:39:470:39:52

-They think it has to rhyme and have

-an order but you don't need either.

0:39:520:39:57

-Don't worry about the meaning

-or message but enjoy words...

0:39:570:40:02

-..and Welsh words can be beautiful

-and charming.

0:40:050:40:11

-People tend to think that you only

-need fun or light-hearted things...

0:40:110:40:16

-..but children are more complicated

-and intense than that.

0:40:170:40:23

-There's no end to their imagination

-or appetite for creativity.

0:40:230:40:28

-Contributing to that via my work

-is very close to my heart.

0:40:280:40:32

-'You open a book and it flies

0:40:340:40:37

-'It ricochets around your head

-and dances with your imagination.

0:40:370:40:41

-'Someone's words in print

-wake you noisily in a quiet room.'

0:40:410:40:46

-I'm delighted the book is nominated

-in the primary school category.

0:40:530:40:58

-It's proof that someone

-has confidence in my work.

0:40:590:41:03

-It's an important award in Wales.

0:41:030:41:06

-We should celebrate
