-Hello and it's a very warm welcome

-to you all to Monday's Heno.

0:00:170:00:21

-We start the programme

-in our performance area...

0:00:210:00:26

-..but who's our

-musical guest tonight?

0:00:260:00:29

-Here's a clue for you

-- there's a guitar.

0:00:290:00:33

-Perhaps this clip will help you too.

0:00:330:00:36

-# I remember your face

0:00:360:00:39

-# Looking at my face

0:00:390:00:44

-# Your eyes looking into my eyes #

0:00:440:00:50

-Cofio Dy Wyneb is a classic song...

0:00:500:00:53

-..that was performed

-by Bryn Fon and Gwyneth Glyn...

0:00:530:00:56

-..but who composed it?

0:00:560:00:59

-It's Emyr Huws Jones or Ems

-as he's more fondly known.

0:00:590:01:03

-He's one of the best composers

-in Wales...

0:01:040:01:07

-..having penned Cofio Dy Wyneb and

-a string of other Welsh classics.

0:01:080:01:11

-We're delighted to have you

-in the studio with us tonight...

0:01:120:01:15

-..and you're here

-for a very special reason.

0:01:150:01:18

-I'm launching my first ever

-solo album and it's called Perthyn.

0:01:180:01:22

-We look forward to hearing more

-about it, later on in the programme.

0:01:220:01:27

-Let's take a look at

-what else we've got for you tonight.

0:01:270:01:30

-Tonight, I hear about Chwalfa...

0:01:310:01:34

-..the latest production

-from Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru.

0:01:340:01:38

-It's a sell-out but I've been lucky

-enough to go behind the scenes.

0:01:390:01:43

-I'm at the smallest cafe in Wales

-if not the whole world.

0:01:440:01:49

-It might be small but there's

-plenty of coffee and fresh cakes!

0:01:490:01:56

-We remember the photojournalist,

-Philip Jones Griffiths...

0:01:560:02:01

-..who's being honoured at a

-special event by BAFTA in London.

0:02:020:02:07

-Philip is best known for his iconic

-photographs of the Vietnam War.

0:02:070:02:12

-It was an incredible weekend

-for Welsh rugby...

0:02:120:02:15

-..with victories for the under 20s

-and the women's squad.

0:02:150:02:19

-The crowning glory was the 27-23 win

-against Scotland for the lads.

0:02:190:02:24

-It's apt that we're joined

-by Gareth Davies...

0:02:250:02:28

-..the chairman

-of the Welsh Rugby Union.

0:02:290:02:32

-We look forward to chatting with him

-about the victorious weekend.

0:02:320:02:36

-There's plenty to come

-on Monday night's programme.

0:02:370:02:40

-We start the programme with the

-composer Emyr Huws Jones or Ems.

0:02:430:02:47

-Welcome to the programme.

0:02:480:02:51

-Thank you.

0:02:510:02:54

-After many years of composing songs

-for various artists...

0:02:540:02:57

-..why did you decide to release your

-first solo CD and on your birthday?

0:02:580:03:10

-You're releasing the album

-on your birthday.

0:03:100:03:14

-Happy birthday to you.

0:03:140:03:17

-I'll be singing most of the songs

-on the album.

0:03:190:03:22

-Everyone is familiar

-with your songs...

0:03:220:03:25

-..and they've been performed by

-an array of artists over the years.

0:03:250:03:29

-Let's see what makes you

-and your songs so special.

0:03:290:03:32

-# Of course you can walk

-along my path

0:03:330:03:37

-# You can wander where you please

-across my land #

0:03:370:03:44

-Emyr Huws Jones' contribution to

-Welsh pop, rock and folk music...

0:03:440:03:51

-..is enormous.

0:03:510:03:56

-Ems is a quiet man in many respects,

-uncomplicated and sincere.

0:03:570:04:05

-I think his songs reflect that.

0:04:050:04:09

-# I am the lighthouse keeper #

0:04:090:04:14

-He makes complicated songs

-sound simple.

0:04:140:04:19

-There's something about his songs

-and the characters he creates.

0:04:200:04:27

-They touch people and resonate

-with most of the population.

0:04:270:04:32

-So many people

-can associate with them.

0:04:320:04:41

-R Williams-Parry said, 'I find more

-pleasure in the sea than mountains'.

0:04:410:04:49

-As one born in Llangefni there were

-plenty of gorgeous beaches...

0:04:490:04:53

-..within easy reach.

0:04:530:04:57

-# There's a blue sea

-around Llanddwyn island

0:04:570:05:00

-# And that is where I bathe

0:05:010:05:04

-# Where the birds fish

-and where you come with me #

0:05:040:05:13

-The first time I met Ems

-was at college in Cardiff.

0:05:130:05:18

-He had a huge mop of blonde hair.

0:05:180:05:23

-I remember him as a nice,

-gently-spoken man.

0:05:230:05:28

-He's changed.

0:05:280:05:30

-The Seventies were a very happy era.

0:05:300:05:34

-I lived with him in Cardiff but had

-met him years earlier in Aberystwyth

0:05:340:05:39

-He has been such a prolific writer

-for almost 50 years.

0:05:390:05:45

-A wide variety of artists

-have performed his songs...

0:05:450:05:49

-..like Tebot Piws, John ac Alun,

-Bryn Fon and Mynediad am Ddim.

0:05:490:05:53

-# She is my friend

0:05:540:05:57

-# She's the only one

-that makes my life worth living

0:05:570:06:03

-He wrote all our good songs

-from the early days.

0:06:030:06:08

-We're still singing those songs

-40 years later.

0:06:080:06:11

-# She is my friend #

0:06:110:06:16

-He has made an enormous

-contribution.

0:06:160:06:20

-He's written for Mynediad, Tebot

-Piws and so many solo artists.

0:06:200:06:25

-# You're a fairytale boy

0:06:250:06:33

-There's a gentility in his songs and

-I hear his voice in his songs.

0:06:330:06:44

-The genius in his music is the fact

-that it is so accessible.

0:06:450:06:51

-There are songs for solo artists

-and are just as suited...

0:06:510:06:58

-..to be sung by choirs.

0:06:580:07:02

-# The damp walls glisten

0:07:030:07:10

-# I am the lighthouse keeper

0:07:100:07:17

-When we were in Tebot,

-he didn't always turn up!

0:07:170:07:24

-That wasn't his fault

-- he often didn't know.

0:07:240:07:30

-I used to tease him

-that the blankets were too heavy.

0:07:300:07:42

-Dewi Pws lies

-when he claims that he's lazy!

0:07:420:07:50

-If you don't know Ems,

-you'll think that he's a quiet man.

0:07:500:07:54

-But he has a very sharp tongue

-and a double quick wit.

0:07:550:08:07

-It works in most languages.

0:08:210:08:26

-You could translate it

-and it would transcend nations.

0:08:260:08:31

-I think what he has to say

-is in his songs.

0:08:310:08:38

-Some of his songs are getting deeper

-and filled with longing...

0:08:390:08:43

-..as he gets older.

0:08:430:08:48

-I'm thrilled he's launched this CD.

0:08:480:08:52

-I'm glad he's started singing

-his own songs again.

0:08:530:09:04

-# This is him

0:09:040:09:11

-# A real weekend rebel #

0:09:110:09:16

-You've been very generous

-with all your songs.

0:09:160:09:22

-The performers of your songs

-have had all the credit.

0:09:220:09:29

-Dewi Pws is a good friend of yours.

0:09:290:09:36

-Dewi was quite nice there.

0:09:360:09:41

-He can do it when he tries.

0:09:420:09:47

-It's all lies about

-the being late for gigs.

0:09:480:09:50

-He never let me know

-about rehearsals.

0:09:500:09:56

-Tell us about your new album.

0:09:560:10:01

-I'm singing the songs

-on this new album.

0:10:010:10:06

-I sing about half of the tracks

-which is more than usual.

0:10:060:10:12

-I think it was about time I did.

0:10:130:10:18

-I did a gig at Criccieth

-with Bryn Fon a few years ago.

0:10:200:10:24

-I sang two songs on my own

-for the first time.

0:10:240:10:27

-The CD was the next step.

0:10:270:10:38

-Was it different

-to write for yourself?

0:10:380:10:42

-Writing my own songs is just

-the same as writing for anyone else.

0:10:430:10:47

-There is a song on the CD

-which I could have sung myself...

0:10:480:10:57

-..but I could hear Linda

-singing it in my head...

0:10:570:11:04

-..so I asked her to record it.

0:11:040:11:13

-There are links between the songs

-on the Perthyn album.

0:11:130:11:20

-There are songs about people

-who want to start over again.

0:11:200:11:26

-There's one about my brother.

0:11:260:11:36

-They're all linked to Anglesey.

0:11:360:11:43

-Did you feel under more pressure

-writing for yourself?

0:11:430:11:49

-I'm not nervous

-about the response to the CD.

0:11:490:11:58

-I've never pretended

-to be a good singer...

0:11:580:12:02

-..but I'm not too bad.

0:12:020:12:07

-I'll always keep writing.

0:12:070:12:15

-Gigs will have to be

-very special events.

0:12:150:12:27

-I'd hate to do gigs where people

-keep drinking and talking throughout

0:12:280:12:32

-It would have to be the right offer.

0:12:320:12:42

-At the Eisteddfod, there's

-a memorial prize for Sbardun.

0:12:430:12:48

-I'll be launching

-the Sbardun memorial trophy.

0:12:480:12:53

-It will be awarded for the best

-original folk song.

0:12:530:12:59

-Bryn Fon and I will be the judges

-in the first year.

0:13:000:13:12

-There is a beautiful trophy

-and a monetary prize.

0:13:130:13:19

-We want to nurture new talent.

0:13:190:13:31

-Everyone who knew Sbardun

-knew that he was generous...

0:13:330:13:36

-..especially with his time.

0:13:360:13:46

-He was very supportive of

-young people breaking into music.

0:13:460:13:50

-What are you performing later?

0:13:500:13:59

-I'll be performing

-the title track, Perthyn.

0:13:590:14:07

-I finished writing these songs

-some three years ago.

0:14:070:14:12

-They've been polished since.

0:14:120:14:17

-I've already started working

-on more songs.

0:14:170:14:24

-Bob Dylan is still writing

-so I'll do the same!

0:14:240:14:27

-Thank you, Ems.

0:14:270:14:29

-Daf Wyn is one of those people

-who enjoys travelling.

0:14:290:14:32

-After the break...

0:14:330:14:34

-..he's at the smallest cafe in Wales

-if not the world!

0:14:340:14:37

-We also chat with Gareth Davies,

-the chairman of the WRU.

0:14:370:14:40

-I'm sure he's a very proud man after

-a successful weekend for Wales.

0:14:400:14:44

-Join us in a few minutes.

0:14:530:14:58

-Welcome back.

0:15:000:15:02

-Gareth Davies, the chairman

-of the WRU has joined us.

0:15:030:15:05

-Welcome to the programme.

0:15:050:15:07

-Thank you.

0:15:080:15:13

-We'll chat to you more in a moment,

-Gareth.

0:15:140:15:16

-you've ever been for a coffee?

0:15:160:15:19

-It's become a common practice

-for friends to meet for a cuppa.

0:15:190:15:22

-You can do that at a new site

-in Glanamman near Ammanford.

0:15:220:15:27

-It isn't any old cafe, but possibly

-the smallest cafe in Wales.

0:15:270:15:32

-Daf went to have a look at it.

0:15:320:15:35

-At one time, Glanamman was home

-to cafes, a butcher and a pub.

0:15:370:15:44

-However, due to the

-introduction of superstores...

0:15:440:15:49

-..many amenities aren't as easy

-to find as they were 50 years ago.

0:15:490:15:56

-However, things have changed.

0:15:560:15:59

-A special new cafe has recently

-opened in the village.

0:15:590:16:03

-This could possibly be the smallest

-cafe in Wales and even the world!

0:16:030:16:07

-A few weeks ago, Pantycelyn Tea Room

-officially opened its door.

0:16:070:16:13

-It's run by a local family.

0:16:130:16:16

-Husband and wife, Matthew and Gemma

-bake delicacies for the community.

0:16:160:16:22

-However, why did they choose to open

-the cafe in such a small building?

0:16:220:16:27

-My mother started by making cakes

-for herself, friends and family.

0:16:270:16:32

-She saw a gap in the market

-and an opportunity to make money.

0:16:320:16:39

-It's somewhere to buy dinner

-which is great for busy workers.

0:16:400:16:47

-This is a great alternative

-to buying meal deals from Tesco.

0:16:470:16:52

-The cafe sells homemade food

-which is really tasty.

0:16:520:16:58

-We sell tea cakes and paninis.

0:16:580:17:02

-The cafe took two years to renovate

-this old building.

0:17:020:17:06

-It was built during World War II and

-it's been home to many businesses.

0:17:070:17:12

-The building was a ruin and nearly

-demolished before they took it over.

0:17:130:17:18

-It was originally the

-Glanamman valley's radio shop.

0:17:180:17:25

-It was somewhere you could buy

-and come to repair your radio.

0:17:250:17:29

-In those days, not many people

-had access to electricity.

0:17:290:17:32

-My grandfather lived up

-near the mountain...

0:17:330:17:37

-..and he had to replace the battery

-of the radio every week.

0:17:370:17:41

-The building was a betting shop

-until the turn of the century...

0:17:410:17:45

-..when it closed due to

-the deteriorating building.

0:17:450:17:50

-During the renovations, did they aim

-to open Wales' smallest cafe?

0:17:500:17:54

-It wasn't our intention as we

-were looking for a nice place...

0:17:540:17:59

-..where some of the people in the

-village could have a cup of tea.

0:17:590:18:03

-We wanted somewhere small and cute.

0:18:040:18:07

-Once we got going,

-we saw that it was very small!

0:18:070:18:11

-We didn't advertise when we opened.

0:18:110:18:13

-We were hoping

-to ease ourselves in gently...

0:18:140:18:16

-..but it hasn't turned out that way.

0:18:160:18:19

-It's been really busy,

-which is excellent.

0:18:190:18:21

-It was a bit of a shock

-but really good.

0:18:210:18:24

-It's wonderful here.

0:18:290:18:31

-It's hard to believe that they've

-fitted so much in a small building.

0:18:310:18:36

-I didn't think there would be room

-as it looks tiny from the outside.

0:18:360:18:42

-However, it's quite spacious.

0:18:420:18:49

-There are fantastic

-finishing touches.

0:18:500:18:53

-It's been lots of work

-but it's been worth it.

0:18:530:18:55

-If this cafe hadn't opened,

-we'd all be anorexic!

0:18:560:18:59

-We wouldn't have anywhere

-to eat cakes.

0:18:590:19:04

-I had a carrot cake

-and half a scone.

0:19:040:19:08

-I'm taking the other half home!

0:19:080:19:13

-We needed somewhere

-where the community could meet.

0:19:130:19:17

-It's a great place to meet

-during the day.

0:19:180:19:21

-Is the family happy

-with how the cafe has turned out?

0:19:210:19:24

-Yes, we're all very proud

-of our mother.

0:19:240:19:27

-Do you get lots of free cakes?

0:19:270:19:28

-Do you get lots of free cakes?

-

-Yes, and a homemade dinner.

0:19:280:19:31

-Contact us in the usual format...

0:19:350:19:37

-..if you know of cafe smaller

-than the Pantycelyn Tiny Tea Room.

0:19:370:19:41

-We're now joined by the chairman

-of the WRU, Gareth Davies.

0:19:410:19:45

-Welcome to Heno.

0:19:450:19:48

-Thank you.

0:19:480:19:52

-It was an incredible weekend

-for Welsh rugby.

0:19:520:19:59

-You must be very happy

-with the results.

0:19:590:20:06

-The Welsh teams did very well

-over the weekend.

0:20:060:20:12

-The Scots lads are great.

0:20:130:20:23

-I felt sorry for them

-as they are in the same position...

0:20:230:20:27

-..that we were in a few years ago.

0:20:270:20:30

-They just can't quite seem

-to get there despite playing well.

0:20:300:20:34

-The women's team did well.

0:20:340:20:40

-The girls have had

-a lot more coverage this year.

0:20:400:20:45

-It is very important for the WRU.

0:20:450:20:52

-The game is growing faster

-than the men's game.

0:20:520:21:02

-We are looking to create

-something much more formal...

0:21:020:21:09

-..for the women's Six Nations.

0:21:090:21:17

-You have a short break

-before the next game.

0:21:170:21:24

-The players have a week off

-but our work carries on.

0:21:240:21:29

-We play France in ten days' time.

0:21:290:21:34

-The new youth board

-is part of our aim...

0:21:340:21:46

-..to bring a new generation

-of people into the rugby fold.

0:21:460:21:55

-We had the first meeting today

-and the energy in the room...

0:21:550:21:58

-..was absolutely phenomenal.

0:21:580:22:00

-Half the board were girls.

0:22:010:22:08

-What did you discuss at the meeting?

0:22:080:22:15

-Rugby is represented by old codgers

-and we want to change that.

0:22:160:22:25

-They all communicate differently

-and want new things from rugby.

0:22:260:22:30

-I think it's a very positive

-initiative.

0:22:310:22:39

-They'll meet 3-4 times a year

-to come up with new ideas.

0:22:390:22:45

-Rugby is doing well

-in North Wales too.

0:22:450:22:52

0:22:520:22:57

0:23:070:23:10

0:23:100:23:14

-The game has changed since our days.

0:23:140:23:19

-I don't get involved

-with the players.

0:23:200:23:24

-The coaches get paid to do all that.

0:23:250:23:29

-The game is so different

-to the one I played.

0:23:300:23:37

-Did you watch the game on Saturday?

0:23:370:23:47

-No, my nerves couldn't take it!

0:23:470:23:58

-Did you have a chairman

-when you played?

0:23:580:24:03

-We didn't have a chairman

-when I played.

0:24:040:24:11

-We had a president

-and a committee.

0:24:110:24:18

-It's our role to push through

-the strategies now.

0:24:190:24:24

-I think we have a good relationships

-with players...

0:24:250:24:30

-..and the coaching team.

0:24:300:24:32

-What is your role during match days?

0:24:360:24:42

-We are allowed

-to enjoy the match days.

0:24:420:24:53

-I was hosting Princess Anne

-and her husband last weekend.

0:24:530:25:00

-She is very interested in rugby

-so it was very pleasant.

0:25:000:25:05

-There were a few glasses of wine.

0:25:050:25:15

-My 'friends' come out of the

-woodwork when they want tickets!

0:25:160:25:21

-Thank you, Gareth.

0:25:220:25:24

0:25:310:25:34

-with the victory too.

0:25:340:25:39

-After the break...

0:25:400:25:42

-..we remember the photojournalist,

0:25:420:25:46

-..as S4C airs a programme

-Welcome back.

0:27:250:27:27

-Thursday marks 80 years since

-the birth of the photojournalist...

0:27:280:27:31

-..Philip Jones Griffiths

-in Rhuddlan.

0:27:310:27:34

-His work during the Vietnam War

-was incredibly important...

0:27:340:27:38

-..in terms of influencing

-western audiences.

0:27:380:27:41

-Some claim his images influenced

-policies in the United States.

0:27:420:27:46

-S4C plans to celebrate the life

-of the Vietnam War photographer.

0:27:460:27:50

-We interviewed Peter

-before his death in 2008.

0:27:500:27:55

-Rhodri looks back

-at his incredible contribution.

0:27:560:27:59

-Philip Jones Griffiths...

0:28:060:28:09

-..was one of the most influential

-photographers of the 20th century.

0:28:090:28:14

-The famous photographer,

-Henri Cartier-Bresson said...

0:28:150:28:21

-"Not since Goya has anyone portrayed

-war like Philip Jones Griffiths."

0:28:210:28:28

-He championed the underdog and

-always looked for the most fragile..

0:28:280:28:34

-..whether that was in Vietnam,

-Wales, Northern Ireland or Zambia.

0:28:340:28:39

-He wanted their story and that stems

-from his upbringing in Rhuddlan.

0:28:390:28:45

-The Rhuddlan boy travelled to over

-100 countries during his career...

0:28:450:28:49

-..and photographed wars in Algeria,

-Vietnam, Cambodia and Israel.

0:28:490:28:55

-He always had

-one question on his lips.

0:28:550:28:59

-Mam always asked

-"Why do you always ask why?!"

0:28:590:29:06

-And this was true of when I started

-working for The Observer.

0:29:070:29:16

-Fleet Street spoke of the five Ws -

-Who? Why? What? Where? When?

0:29:160:29:24

-But to me, it was more important

-to know why!

0:29:240:29:28

-In the 1950s and early 1960s...

0:29:280:29:31

-..Philip was happy to photograph

-the day-to-day life in Britain...

0:29:310:29:36

-..from familiar faces in London

-to the impoverished parts of Wales.

0:29:370:29:42

-I was doing a story

-and spent a week in Merthyr.

0:29:420:29:47

-Pantywaun was a very poor place

-near Merthyr...

0:29:470:29:52

-..and I spotted a little boy

-trying to destroy a grand piano.

0:29:520:29:58

-I asked what he was doing...

0:29:580:30:01

-..and he said

-"my mother gave it to me to mend."

0:30:010:30:05

-Wales was in his blood

-and he was Welsh to the core...

0:30:050:30:10

-..but he's best known

-for his work in Southern Asia.

0:30:110:30:15

-You could argue that Vietnam

-was the first televised war...

0:30:150:30:19

-..but Philip Jones Griffiths'

-photographs were different...

0:30:190:30:23

-..because he went beyond

-the typical image of war.

0:30:230:30:29

-War was brushed to the side...

0:30:290:30:34

-..and his photographs concentrate

-on the people of Vietnam.

0:30:340:30:41

-There's one photograph of a woman

-who's head is wrapped in bandages.

0:30:410:30:47

-The label reads "female" and

-that is the epitome of war for me.

0:30:480:30:54

-I saw some truly horrific things

-whilst I was in Vietnam.

0:30:550:31:00

-War isn't like Hollywood

-- it's much worse!

0:31:010:31:07

-Having said that, I still

-have nightmares about Vietnam.

0:31:070:31:12

-As soon as my head hits the pillow,

-I'm back in Vietnam or Cambodia.

0:31:120:31:23

-He collected photographs and

-compiled a book called Vietnam Ink.

0:31:230:31:30

-It was very influential and many

-Americans started to oppose the war.

0:31:310:31:38

-Many believe that Philip's images

-changed the stance of Americans.

0:31:390:31:44

-Before seeing

-Philip's photographs...

0:31:440:31:48

-..they thought of Vietnam

-as a distant, unemotional country.

0:31:490:31:57

-His horrific photographs of war

-were like a slap in their face.

0:31:580:32:03

-He was the thorn in the side

-of the authorities of South Vietnam.

0:32:030:32:07

-The president, Nguyen Van Thieu...

0:32:070:32:11

-..had a list of people that he

-didn't want back in his country...

0:32:110:32:16

-..and Mr Griffiths

-was at the top of the list.

0:32:160:32:21

-He was a giant of a man

-and an incredible photographer.

0:32:210:32:27

-Philip Jones Griffiths:

-Ffotograffydd Rhyfel Fietnam...

0:32:370:32:40

-..airs on Sunday 28 February

-at 9.00pm on S4C.

0:32:410:32:49

-Let's see what Elin Fflur

-has for us after the break.

0:32:490:32:52

-In a few minutes, I'll go behind the

-scenes of the latest production...

0:32:520:32:56

-..by Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru

-called Chwalfa.

0:32:560:32:59

-We're waiting with baited breath...

0:32:590:33:01

-..for Emyr Huws Jones

-to perform a brand-new song.

0:33:020:33:04

-On tonight's programme, there's

-a chance to hear Emyr Huws Jones...

0:33:040:33:08

-..perform one of his own songs,

-instead of me for a change!

0:34:480:34:50

-No, we mean Emyr Huw Jones.

0:34:500:34:53

-I share my birthday

-with a few other people...

0:35:330:35:38

-..including Geraint Davies,

-Alan Llwyd and Phyllis Margaret.

0:35:390:35:51

-You celebrated a special birthday,

-last year, Gareth.

0:35:520:35:56

-We celebrated with the family

-two weeks ago.

0:35:560:36:00

-I'm trying to forget my age now!

0:36:000:36:05

-I'm not celebrating.

0:36:050:36:06

-I did have quite a few cards

-in the post this morning.

0:36:070:36:10

-I think I'd like to go to Portugal!

0:36:100:36:12

-A few weeks ago, Elin went to the

-first rehearsals of Chwalfa...

0:36:120:36:16

-..the latest production

-by Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru...

0:36:160:36:20

-..at the new Pontio Performing Arts

-and Innovation Centre in Bangor.

0:36:200:36:24

-She's back at

-the final rehearsals...

0:36:240:36:27

-..before the first performance

-on Wednesday.

0:36:270:36:30

-It's a sell-out, despite an

-additional extra performance.

0:36:310:36:34

-Here's a taster of Chwalfa

-for those of you who can't be there.

0:36:340:36:37

-Chwalfa is Gareth Miles'

-adaptation of a novel...

0:36:440:36:49

-..written by T Rowland Hughes

-in 1946.

0:36:500:36:53

-It chronicles the story of the Ifans

-family in an imaginary quarry town.

0:36:540:36:58

-It's plain to see

-that the Penrhyn Quarry strike...

0:36:580:37:02

-..was the inspiration for the story.

0:37:020:37:05

-As a member of the quarry committee,

-I present to you, Mr Henry Alexander

0:37:050:37:10

-The workforce wish to complain about

-the way the quarry has been run...

0:37:100:37:16

-..in these recent troubled times.

0:37:160:37:18

-It follows the tale of Edward and

-Martha Ifans' family...

0:37:180:37:23

-..during the Penrhyn Quarry strike.

0:37:230:37:28

-Edwards Ifans is the chairman of the

-quarrymen's committee.

0:37:280:37:34

-At the start of the play, they are

-all together - both the family...

0:37:340:37:40

-..and the community in the strike.

0:37:400:37:43

-As the story develops,

-the community begins to split.

0:37:430:37:47

-It reflects the breakdown

-in the community...

0:37:470:37:51

-..and in families when members

-had to move south to find work.

0:37:510:37:54

-The sadness that creates after

-such a hard life in the village.

0:37:550:37:59

-This is a very important story

-in our nation's history.

0:37:590:38:03

-The Penrhyn strike was the biggest

-in the whole of Great Britain.

0:38:030:38:08

-It had a tremendous effect

-on the local community.

0:38:080:38:12

-Had it not been for the suffering

-and sacrifice made here...

0:38:130:38:17

-..we would not be able to enjoy

-the workers' rights we have today.

0:38:170:38:22

-One man's freedom is another man's

-slavery, Mr Alexander.

0:38:220:38:30

-It's a very heavy, deep story.

0:38:310:38:35

-The challenge for us as actors

-is to maintain that...

0:38:360:38:39

-..without making people miserable.

0:38:390:38:46

-It's a heartfelt story.

0:38:460:38:53

-We'll settle things

-one way or another.

0:38:530:38:56

-There's a strong cast

-of actors who are old hands...

0:38:570:39:00

-..at performing

-on the professional stage.

0:39:000:39:03

-There's a cast from the local

-community playing alongside them.

0:39:030:39:07

-They're an integral part

-of the production.

0:39:070:39:09

-I play Ceridwen,

-the strike leader's sister.

0:39:100:39:13

-My illness affects my father's

-position - does he strike...

0:39:140:39:18

-..or work to pay for my medication.

0:39:180:39:22

-It's a real dilemma for him.

0:39:220:39:27

-I'm a butler, a passenger on a train

-and a vicar - a bit of everything.

0:39:270:39:32

-You must have learnt a great deal.

0:39:320:39:35

-Yes, without doubt.

0:39:360:39:39

-I see how the stage managers

-and actors work and fit together.

0:39:390:39:43

-It's been a great experience.

0:39:430:39:46

-You're the youngest cast member.

0:39:460:39:49

-What's it like to be a part of this?

0:39:490:39:52

-It's incredible as I get to work

-with a professional cast.

0:39:520:39:56

-This is a very lonely place.

0:39:560:40:00

-It's just fantastic working

-with professional actors...

0:40:000:40:03

-..who've been performing for years.

0:40:030:40:06

-Getting tips from them is great.

0:40:070:40:09

-They've put their hearts into it.

0:40:090:40:13

-They go to school all day and

-come here afterwards to rehearse.

0:40:130:40:17

-They've been a real pleasure

-to work with.

0:40:170:40:20

-Where have I seen you before?

0:40:200:40:22

-Llechfaen quarry.

0:40:230:40:25

-I don't think we've been

-in the position of having sold...

0:40:260:40:31

-..4,000 tickets

-before the show opens before.

0:40:310:40:34

-That's very exciting.

0:40:350:40:39

-It's only 4,000 tickets

-what's the worst that could happen?

0:40:390:40:44

-Good luck to Chwalfa.

0:40:530:40:59

-If you have a ticket,

-enjoy the show.

0:40:590:41:02

-Emyr Huws Jones and Gareth Davies

-have been our studio guests tonight.

0:41:020:41:14

0:43:030:43:09

-Wales lost a point against

-Ireland but it looks to be...

0:43:100:43:14

-..between us, France

-and England now.

0:43:150:43:18

-the championship will be back on.

-# The train was going nowhere

0:44:150:44:19

-# The roads didn't go very far

0:44:190:44:23

-# The wind howled through the valley

0:44:230:44:27

-# Full of hope for a better time

0:44:270:44:32

-# But the wind is howling once again

0:44:320:44:35

-# Along the river

-and down from the lake

0:44:350:44:39

-# And I know that from now on

0:44:390:44:43

-# That this is where I belong

0:44:430:44:48

-# I see pathways re-opening

0:44:510:44:55

-# There's a green carpet underfoot

0:44:550:44:59

-# I smell the burning gorse

0:44:590:45:03

-# And hear the voices fill the trees

0:45:030:45:07

-# I see the familiar faces

0:45:070:45:11

-# They are hiding between the leaves

0:45:110:45:15

-# I see the road that leads me home

0:45:150:45:19

-# I feel the breeze,

-the rain and sun

0:45:190:45:23

-# When I close my eyes

0:45:240:45:27

-# I can smell the rain

0:45:270:45:31

-# I see two people on Lon Fron

0:45:310:45:35

-# Running hand-in-hand

0:45:350:45:39

-# Racing towards their home

0:45:390:45:43

-# To the late afternoon's

-roaring fire

0:45:430:45:47

-# And I may not see their faces

0:45:470:45:51

-# But I know them very well

0:45:510:45:56

-# Is there someone in the bracken

0:45:590:46:03

-# Where the path comes to an end?

0:46:030:46:07

-# But maybe the thing I can hear

0:46:070:46:11

-# Is the sheep

-owned by John Croes Bren

0:46:110:46:15

-# Trampling through my dreams

0:46:150:46:19

-# Disturbing everything under foot

0:46:190:46:23

-# But the old longing

0:46:230:46:27

-# Is still simmering

-through my veins #
