-Hello and welcome to Monday's Heno

-for our first programme of July!

-It's been an incredible weekend

-for sport.

-Geraint Thomas wore the yellow

-jersey in the Tour de France.

-Growing up as a kid,

-I was watching the Tour.

-I'd run home from school

-and watch the final 10k.

-To be this side of the camera,

-putting on the jersey...

-..is an amazing feeling.

-We're all very proud of Geraint

-so you can imagine how is wife felt.

-We have an exclusive interview

-with his wife, Sara shortly.

-The Lions won their second test

-against New Zealand on Saturday.

-Williams moves from the back

-and passes to Faletau...

-..who takes it to the corner.

-The Lions are roaring in Wellington!

-Thousands gathered in Cardiff

-for the Tafwyl Festival.

-The sun was shining

-and we had a lot of fun.

-Yes, but I couldn't find you!

-I'm not surprised as 38,000 people

-attended Tafwyl over the weekend.

-The weekend is over which marks

-the start of a new week of Heno.

-I'm sure a lot of people enjoyed

-an ice cream over the weekend...

-..and it's apt that July

-is National Ice Cream Month.

-Gerallt's the lucky one

-who is sampling them.

-July is National Ice Cream Month.

-Dylan is busy preparing one for me

-at the gelateria in Portmeirion.

-Let's see what Yvonne has for us.

-Good evening and welcome

-to the heart of the Valleys...

-..to meet the Treorchy

-Male Choir who mark 70 years.

-They have a special concert

-in Cardiff on Sunday.

-Where are you, Elin?

-On tonight's programme,

-I'm at Holywell in...

-..Ysgol Gwenffrwd...

-..because a pupil of this class

-will sing with Sir Bryn Terfel.

-Isn't that incredible?

-Isn't that incredible?

-

-Yes!

-You can hear all about it later.

-But first,

-let's return to the Tour de France.

-Geraint Thomas is the first Welshman

-to wear the yellow jersey.

-I'm sure he was delighted and

-so was Mrs Thomas, his wife, Sara.

-Watch this!

-Geraint Thomas crosses the line

-and that's a great time.

-He has a seven-second lead

-in the time trial.

-This is a massive moment

-for Geraint Thomas.

-Congratulations to you.

-I still can't quite believe it

-and it's the stuff of dreams.

-Growing up as a kid,

-I was watching the Tour.

-To be this side of the camera,

-putting on the jersey is amazing.

-I'm sure his wife, Sara will be

-there to support him.

-I still can't believe it because he

-isn't usually lucky in big races...

-..so it's been incredible to see him

-in the yellow jersey on the podium.

-It's something we'll remember

-for many years.

-Where were you when he won?

-I was walking the dog because I find

-watching him race too stressful.

-On Twitter, it said

-he had set the fastest time.

-I heard Mam and Dad cheering

-and that's how I knew he'd won.

-How did you feel?

-There was so much happening.

-I was so happy because I could

-see that Geraint was ecstatic.

-It was great that he was with a good

-friend when he found out he won.

-I can't really put it into words...

-..especially after everything

-that happened in the Giro.

-It's great that he's turned a corner

-and we can celebrate something.

-He phoned on his way to dope control

-and was there for about an hour.

-I was driving

-to celebrate with friends.

-He's so laid back and said,

-"That was alright, wasn't it?"

-I don't think he realized what had

-happened but it's sinking in now.

-What do you think it means

-for Welsh cycling...

-..to have its first

-Welshman in the yellow jersey?

-It's never been done before.

-It's great for him to wear

-the yellow jersey in the Tour.

-It's a proud moment, he's a part of

-history and that will never change.

-Geraint's the first Welshman

-so it's important to us and Geraint.

-When are you flying to France?

-I'll fly out on Sunday

-for the rest day on Monday...

-..and stay until Wednesday

-before going to Paris.

-Will you get to see Geraint

-or do you have to stay separated?

-Team Sky allow us to stay

-in the same hotel and eat together.

-He has a lot of interviews

-so I'll leave him alone for those.

-I'll see him each night

-so will see a lot of him.

-On behalf of Heno

-and everyone in Wales...

-..please congratulate him and tell

-him that we're very proud of him.

-Yes, I will. Thank you.

-Geraint Thomas, the man from

-Cardiff, the proud Welshman...

-..steps onto the podium.

-Thanks to Sara for chatting

-with our Alun Thomas today.

-Today, Geraint has retained that

-yellow jersey for another day.

-It's his third consecutive day

-of wearing the yellow jersey.

-It's incredible!

-July is National Ice Cream Month and

-my boys will enjoy celebrating it.

-Ice cream has existed

-since the days of the Romans.

-Tonight, Gerallt is at an Italian

-ice cream parlour in Portmeirion...

-..to mark the start of the month.

-Good evening to you all.

-I'm sticking to the Italian theme.

-Earlier, I met the people who

-make ice cream at Taste of Anglesey.

-There's a day for everything,

-a week for a few things...

-..but the whole of July

-is dedicated to ice cream.

-You've produced ice cream

-for ten years so what's your secret?

-As a company, our secret

-is to make high quality produce.

-We start with a superb, core

-ingredient which is Jersey milk.

-It's very creamy and

-near our home so easy to collect.

-It goes in the tank quickly and

-we produce our ice cream in minutes.

-It's one thing to produce ice cream

-but something else to market it.

-I did a course

-at Bangor University...

-..and started with

-Taste of Anglesey last year.

-I started as the marketing officer

-but have moved into other fields...

-..and used my skills from university

-to design new pots.

-You work in an ice cream factory

-which is heaven on earth for some.

-It's great and there's

-a lot of perks with this job.

-The milk and marketing

-are important.

-What about the passion and love

-you feel towards ice cream?

-I don't just love ice cream

-but love local produce.

-By selling and producing

-this ice cream at home...

-..we promote the produce

-of the Welsh countryside.

-This also promotes

-the Welsh language and culture.

-This year, we're honoured to be

-on the National Eisteddfod Maes.

-We usually have one stand

-but have six stands this time!

-It'll be quite a challenge

-and we'll sell our various flavours.

-It's so much more

-than just ice cream.

-I'll see you at Bodedern in August

-and can try all of these.

-You can have one each day!

-I'm looking forward to sampling

-the ice cream at the Eisteddfod.

-I'm now joined by Robin Llywelyn.

-He's an author and works at

-Portmeirion.

-You also make ice cream.

-Yes, I'm a gelateria.

-I studied at Penffordd

-for an entire day!

-I've also been to Italy to study

-the craft of ice cream making.

-I was in Ancona.

-That's where you'll find

-the best

-gelatto.

-I learnt the difference between

-There's more air in gelatto.

-This one contains only fresh

-ingredients and milk.

-Let's see your masterpieces.

-I've been making

-chocolate ice cream.

-We vary our ice cream

-to suit the seasons.

-We can make

-over 20 different flavours.

-There are a variety of different

-flavours every day.

-The Turkish Delight is always

-a popular flavour of gelatto.

-This machine makes it so appealing.

-The rotating display is part

-of the drama of ice cream.

-There's an art involved in placing

-the ice cream in a cone too.

-Back to you in Llanelli.

-Thank you, Gerallt.

-Everyone in the studio

-is very jealous of Gerallt!

-We have some great producers in

-Wales.

-After the break...

-..Yvonne marks the special birthday

-of the Treorchy Male Choir.

-Alison Jenkins tells us why her

-weekend has literally flown.

-And Griff Harries tells us all about

-this year's Gower Festival.

-Thank you.

-Tell us exactly what you were doing.

-Over the weekend,

-I did a skydive in Swansea.

-I did it to raise money

-Ten years ago, my mother went blind.

-We got a guide dog.

-We do lots of activities

-to raise money for guide dogs.

-Your mother hardly left the house.

-Before my mother got the dog,

-she would stay at home.

-Now, she gets out and enjoys life.

-I was only 14

-when my mother lost her sight.

-I would stay at home

-and look after her.

-It costs 55,000

-to train one guide dog.

-I raised 700 from the skydive.

-My mother's dog is called Tilly.

-We went to an awards ceremony

-recently.

-It was a great event.

-The guide dog has changed our lives.

-We don't have to worry

-when my mother goes out any more.

-We have a retired guide dog at home.

-She's just like a pet

-now that she's retired.

-I'm not sure what I'd like to do

-next.

-Perhaps I'll try to drive

-an artic lorry.

-My mother would also like to do

-a zip wire too.

-money.

-The Gower Festival had two

-Sir Karl Jenkins gives a pre-concert

-talk ahead of tonight's concert...

-..that featured winners

-of the Sir Karl Jenkins Music Award.

-It's also a sell-out.

-We're very happy with the festival.

-and expensive to run an event.

-However, we're celebrating 41 years.

-People want to see new things

-every year.

-That's why we're one of the

-most popular festivals in Wales.

-Last year, we had a Cymanfa.

-He's fantastic

-at conducting the Cymanfa.

-We try to bring a little

-for everyone to the festival.

-We have lectures

-ahead of every concert.

-There's something new every year

-to attract new crowds.

-The festival highlights the

-lesser-known venues in Gower.

-That's the charm of the festival.

-I've lived in the area for years...

-..but some of these venues

-were unknown to me.

-We have a glass of wine

-during some of the concerts.

-It's a very magical area

-to host a festival.

-This tie

-is the Glamorgan Orchestra tie.

-It was from the time

-of the old Glamorgan region.

-That's where I met many

-of these composers and musicians...

-..who perform at the festival.

-You can hear a new commission by

-the Gower composer, Mark Thomas.

-Mark Thomas has written

-about coming from Penclawdd.

-Karl Jenkins is from nearby too.

-There must be something

-in the water.

-Get ready to laugh with us

-after the break...

-..as we're joined by the comedian,

-Noel James.

-Noel James is behind the mic

-and he joins us tonight.

-Welcome to Heno.

-Welcome to Heno.

-

-Thank you.

-It's a pleasure to be

-on this cosy sofa.

-It's difficult to prepare

-an evening of comedy.

-I've been trying to work with

-Theatr Mwldan for eight years.

-It will be at Cardigan Castle.

-That's where the first Eisteddfod

-was held.

-I'm performing in Cardigan

-on 6 and 7 July.

-There's a Welsh language stand-up

-gig called Reit Ei Walia.

-The Welsh language stand-up show

-is on 6 July.

-I'm doing an English performance

-on 7 July.

-It's lots of pressure.

-However, I will use some old

-material and new material too.

-Money was the issue in Cardigan.

-If I was this busy every week,

-I'd be rich!

-I'm in Neath soon too.

-I'm inspired

-by looking at the words.

-I like playing with words too.

-There's a Welsh language stand-up

-gig called Reit Ei Walia.

-I wanted to talk about Wales

-post-Brexit.

-I'm not a political

-or serious comedian.

-However, politics

-is affecting our lives.

-The English are always complaining

-about imigrants.

-However, we're used to it in Wales.

-There's some jokes

-and music on my guitar.

-There's a Geraint Jarman parody

-in my set too.

-There's a warm welcome

-to people of all ages.

-It's suitable for the whole family

-on the Thursday night.

-However, if I see children in

-the audience, I will adapt my set.

-There will be a more respectable

-audience at the Welsh comedy night.

-I'm appealing to the likes of

-Eirwyn Pontsian.

-There might be a more risky set

-during the English evening.

-My set changes more often

-than I change my socks.

-My material adapts

-over several years.

-I play lots of gigs to people

-There are some things that happen

-on the night that I'll react to.

-There are hecklers too.

-There will be academic Welsh

-hecklers that correct my Welsh.

-I enjoy comedy.

-There will be an evening in Pwllheli

-too.

-It was an important day for the

-pupils of Cymerau Primary School.

-One brave girl had her hair cut in

-aid of the Little Princess Trust...

-..but not for the first time.

-Elin Fflur and our cameras were

-at the first cut four years ago...

-..so we sent Elin back

-to hear the story.

-Four years ago, I remember thinking

-that Catrin was very brave...

-..after cutting off

-her beautiful long hair.

-We've returned once again to see

-Catrin doing exactly the same again.

-She's supporting two charities...

-..Little Princess Trust

-and Epilepsy Research UK.

-I cut off my hair in Year 2

-when I was seven years old.

-Children who have suffered

-from cancer have lost their hair...

-..so I'm cutting my hair so that

-it can be turned into wigs for them.

-You're cutting your hair again

-for the Little Princess Trust...

-..and you've been raising money

-for another charity.

-I'm raising money

-for Epilepsy Research UK...

-..as I lost my father to epilepsy

-when I was just four months old.

-You've raised lots of money.

-You've raised lots of money.

-

-I think I've raised around 800.

-Your hair is very long, Catrin.

-Are you ready to cut it all off?

-Are you ready to cut it all off?

-

-Yes, I'm ready.

-I'm incredibly proud of Catrin.

-This is the second time

-that she's decided to cut her hair.

-It takes 15 minutes

-to do Catrin's hair each morning...

-..so I'm looking forward

-to her cutting it off.

-Catrin lost her father to epilepsy

-when she was just four months old.

-As a family, it's important

-that Catrin learns about her father.

-He was a fantastic man.

-As a friend and cousin,

-I'm very proud of Catrin.

-I normally have fun doing her hair

-so I'm going to miss her long hair.

-Catrin is very brave as she lost

-her father at just four months old.

-She's raising money for children

-less fortunate than her.

-I'm Catrin's cousin and it's sad

-to think of what happened to her.

-I think that she's very brave.

-Catrin is a special girl.

-It's been four years

-since she last cut her hair.

-Since then, he's inspired others

-to donate their hair to the trust.

-How does that make you feel?

-How does that make you feel?

-

-I'm in shock.

-I didn't realise it was that long...

-..but now that it's been cut,

-I can appreciate how long it was.

-Are you going to miss this hair?

-Are you going to miss this hair?

-

-No!

-What does Ysgol Cymerau school

-think of Catrin's efforts?

-The Llangollen International

-Musical Eisteddfod opens tonight.

-Tomorrow night, Sir Bryn Terfel

-peforms in the operatic gala.

-It's set to be a momentous night

-for eleven-year-old Joseph Elwy.

-He shares the stage with Bryn

-and Elin went to meet Joseph.

-Imagine being eleven years old...

-..and making your dream come true

-by sharing a stage with your idol.

-Joseph Elwy

-from Ysgol Gwenffrwd school...

-..will perform at the Llangollen

-Eisteddfod with Sir Bryn Terfel.

-This year, one of the

-Eisteddfod's highlights...

-..will be the rendition of Puccini's

-Tosca staring Sir Bryn Terfel.

-Thanks to Joseph's grandmother,

-he too will shine on the stage.

-My grandmother saw

-an advert in the newspaper.

-We went to the

-interview in Llangollen.

-There were 13 other applicants

-for the role.

-However, I was the lucky winner.

-How do you feel about performing

-on stage with Bryn Terfel?

-I'm feeling ecstatic

-and I'm lost for words.

-The head teacher, Mrs Iola Owen

-has been a great help to Joseph.

-She's taken every opportunity

-to rehearse with the young singer.

-Joseph has been a pupil

-at Ysgol Gwenffrwd for eight years.

-He enjoys all aspects of the

-curriculum and he's a great singer.

-We're making the most of every break

-to rehearse with Joseph.

-He practises at lunchtime and breaks

-despite enjoying playing football.

-As one of the school leaders,

-he's always busy.

-Miss Owen has been a great help and

-has given me tips and support.

-The piece is called Io de' Sospiri

-and it's an aria from Tosca.

-You won't be singing in Welsh.

-You won't be singing in Welsh.

-

-No, I'm singing in Italian.

-Has it been difficult to learn?

-Has it been difficult to learn?

-

-It's been quite hard.

-It's taken lots of practise

-to learn how to pronounce the words.

-# Ve ne rimanno tanti

-# Pe' quante foje #

-Joseph has many friends

-at this homely school.

-They love seeing him

-experience all this success.

-As his friends, are you proud

-of Joseph for landing this role?

-We're very proud of Joseph

-as he's done incredibly well.

-I'm one of Joseph's best friends.

-Miss Owen has helped Joseph get to

-this stage to sing with Bryn Terfel.

-Joseph has been supported

-by all his friends at the school.

-Sam, as one of his friends,

-how proud are you of Joseph?

-I'm very proud as he's done well

-to sing with Sir Bryn Terfel.

-He's always singing and sometimes

-we have to tell him to be quiet.

-I'm proud of Joseph and I hope he'll

-have a good concert at Llangollen.

-Joseph has overcome

-many obstacles in his life.

-He was struck ill with a rare kidney

-disorder when he was in Year 2.

-Therefore, reaching the stage

-of the International Eisteddfod...

-..is quite a feat for him.

-Years ago, I was diagnosed

-with Nephrotic syndrome.

-After lots of steroids

-and medicines, I've recovered.

-That's fantastic and you're going

-to sing on stage with Bryn Terfel!

-You'll be able to say you shared

-a stage with Sir Bryn Terfel.

-I recently heard him speaking

-of competing in eisteddfodau.

-The same is true for Joseph

-as he too enjoys singing Cerdd Dant.

-He's managed to learn

-Tosca's lyrics.

-One day, perhaps he'll be

-the next Bryn Terfel.

-How will your grandmother feel

-when she sees you on the stage?

-I'm not sure

-but I think she'll be very proud.

-# Lampene d'oro me fai morir! #

-Good luck to Joseph tomorrow.

-Griff and Noel

-have been our studio guests.

-Noel is performing in Cardigan

-at the end of the week.

-and an English show on 7 July.

-I'd also like to plug my

-downloadable CD.

-The Treorchy Male Choir will start

-at 5.00pm on Sunday.

-I'm going to the pub after.

-Prynhawn Da returns at the

-earlier time of 1.05pm tomorrow...

-of the Tour de France.

-We close with the

-Treorchy Male Choir...

-..and a arrangement of Ar Lan y Mor

-by their own Jeffrey Howard.
