-Hello and welcome to your

-Monday night edition of Heno.

-We hope you had fun

-over the weekend.

-Speaking of fun...

-..did you see our Rhodri Gomer

-on S4C's Pryd o Ser last night?

-Non, I've been thinking.

-That's beef steak, isn't it?

-Not pork?

-Not pork?

-

-Maybe, I don't know.

-If that's pork,

-I need to start cooking it.

-I don't think he knows

-what he's doing.

-He grew up on a farm

-and doesn't know his steaks!

-You'll have to try better

-than that Rhods!

-Don't forget that I won

-the competition before!

-How could we forget, Llinos?

-But Rhodri also had a busy weekend

-in Tregaron at the Cor Caron Race.

-Congratulations to everyone who

-ran the race in the cold weather.

-We hear more about it

-later in the programme.

-Cors Caron is steeped in legends.

-In 2017, Wales celebrates

-the Year of the Legends.

-We meet one of its ambassadors, and

-it's none other than Cerys Matthews.

-this year?

-I'm celebrating the Year of Legends

-but want you to come with me.

-We'll talk about Dwynwen, Twm Sion

-Cati, Tom Jones, Stereophonics...

-..and Super Furry Animals.

-There's the legends of the past

-as well as some for the future.

-Join me later to find out more!

-Elin chats to one of the stars of

-the Welsh rock scene, Yws Gwynedd.

-Yws will enjoy a celebratory day

-with Radio Cymru this Wednesday.

-It's called Diwrnod o Galon.

-We've packed our studio with guests

-such as Ffion Dafis and Sion Eifion.

-Both actors look forward to star

-in the Shakespearean play, Mac...

-No, don't say it, Rhodri,

-and just say the Scottish drama!

-The singer, Heulen Cynfal

-also performs for us later.

-She sounds fantastic.

-Welcome to the programme.

-We start with Mari Stevens

-from Visit Wales.

-Welcome.

-An important year lies ahead of you

-and the rest of the nation.

-Tell us what's coming up.

-In 2016,

-it was the Year of Adventure.

-We saw an increase of 40% in terms

-of people visiting Wales.

-We've got over a million

-followers...

-..on our social media pages.

-Wales is an interesting country.

-This year has been earmarked

-as Wales's Year of Legends.

-It's going to be a platform

-for our history.

-There's a fine line between our

-history and the legends.

-There's also going to be a stage

-for our celebrities.

-The Visit Wales ambassadors include

-the singer, Cerys Matthews.

-It's something I'm going to enjoy

-over the coming months.

-I've done a lot of travelling

-and it's fun when I get a book...

-..and I can give them a book

-of the Mabinogion.

-I don't know how many copies of the

-Mabinogion that I've given away.

-Very few countries have legends

-that are so old.

-People know all about music scene

-in Ireland and the craic...

-..as well as the mountains

-and golf in Scotland.

-I don't want to go to New York again

-and go on the literary walk...

-..and hear "That was where the

-Irish poet, Dylan Thomas died!"

-I don't want to go to South Carolina

-or Tennessee...

-..and tell people that I'm from

-Wales only for them to say, "what?"

-I don't want that.

-Wales might be small but it's

-full of literature and music...

-..and all sorts of eccentricities.

-That's without mentioning the sport,

-the landscape, creative industry...

-..the designers and everything else.

-It's a busy world but we need

-to make sure our voice is heard.

-Wales has these legends

-so we need to shout about them!

-# And whilst there is a heart

-in my bosom

-# I will be faithful to you #

-Thanks to Cerys Matthews

-who is an ambassador...

-..for the Visit Wales

-Year of Legends.

-She sounded very excited.

-She plans to change the thoughts

-of the Americans to Wales.

-Yes, it's a real challenge.

-We've seen a massive increase in

-people's attitudes to Wales.

-We've got the first zipwire

-in the world...

-..and Wales did so well

-in Euro 2016.

-This helped to boost our profile.

-This year shows a new dimension

-of Wales.

-It's very interesting.

-Wales has so much to offer.

-Tell us more about the coming year

-and the events.

-There's a lot of things happening

-during the year.

-It's a pop-up hotel.

-These are eight cabins.

-They have been inspired

-by Welsh legends.

-I hope it develops the Welsh brand.

-It's bad luck to say the title

-of this Scottish tragedy.

-Join us in a couple of minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-The actors, Ffion Dafis

-and Sion Eifion have joined us.

-Both of them are starring in Theatr

-Genedlaethol's Shakespearean drama.

-Are we allowed to say the name

-of this famous tragedy or not?

-What is the tradition?

-It's Macbeth.

-The name is thought to be cursed.

-Actors avoid saying this name

-when they are in the theatre.

-Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru is

-performing a special production...

-..of Shakespeare's Macbeth.

-The production will be held

-in Caerphilly Castle.

-It's a fantastic location.

-It's got an amazing atmosphere.

-It's similar to a promenade play.

-The audience will move

-with the play.

-It will be performed indoors.

-There's three locations.

-We start in a tower.

-There's also two halls.

-The first half takes place

-Local cinemas and art centres

-will broadcast the live performance.

-The National Theatre does the same.

-People don't have to come

-to Caerphilly Castle...

-..but they can see it at twelve

-locations.

-What roles do you play?

-I'm playing Lady Macbeth.

-Macbeth is played by Richard Lynch.

-We've been rehearsing

-for about three weeks.

-We're moving to the castle

-in a week.

-There's a big cast.

-There's eleven in the cast.

-I think there's about 28 or 29

-characters.

-We all play different roles.

-Is it challenging for you?

-It's quite challenging.

-I play a witch and a steward.

-I'm also a murderer!

-Do you have any experience

-in performing Shakespeare?

-I don't have a lot of experience

-in working in Shakespeare...

-..in the Welsh language.

-I've been trained in working with

-Shakespeare in English.

-I've got to forget about some

-of the things that I've learnt.

-Macbeth has been translated

-for the Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru...

-..by the late, Gwyn Thomas.

-It's a real masterpiece.

-You've got to master the metre

-of the piece.

-It's an amazing piece.

-You've seen the posters for it.

-Yes, I've seen posters all over

-Cardiff.

-I need to buy my ticket!

-The cold weather didn't hinder the

-sporting action over the weekend.

-at the Cors Caron 10K race.

-In its second year, the Cors Caron

-races organized by Campau Caron...

-..is proving popular amongst runners

-from all over Wales.

-The course follows the old railway

-so it's quick and flat...

-..which means the race is suitable

-for all abilities and ages.

-Have you been training hard

-for this race, Owen?

-Um, yes.

-Um, yes.

-

-Good, that's the right answer.

-Did you enjoy it?

-

-Um, yes.

-How far will you have to run?

-How far will you have to run?

-

-1km.

-How often have you been training,

-Cai?

-Three times a week.

-The three races include a fun run,

-the 5km and 10km...

-..which goes through the heart

-of the Cors Caron Nature Reserve.

-You ran the 5km race but how was it?

-You ran the 5km race but how was it?

-

-Very good, thank you.

-You did it in an incredible time.

-I haven't been running for five

-years so this was a real challenge.

-The 5km race has just finished

-so it's time for the 10km race...

-..which features Arwel's Angels.

-This is the man behind that club

-but why did you form Arwel's Angels?

-We wanted to get more people

-involved in local events.

-We saw Alfie's Angels on television

-doing the Cardiff Half Marathon...

-..and were inspired to do something

-similar in Tregaron.

-We signed up for the running

-before Christmas.

-Our aim was to complete a 5km

-and do the 10km race today.

-We meet every Sunday at 8.30am at

-Cors Caron or the leisure centre.

-We started by running a mile...

-..but Arwel set up a timetable

-so that we could today's 10km race.

-It's the big day so are you

-confident, excited or nervous?

-I'm both nervous and excited

-and hope I do the distance.

-They are ready for it and I'm

-confident that they'll all finish.

-I just hope they enjoy it

-and keep running after today.

-I don't want it all to end

-in the next 45 minutes!

-Are you enjoying it?

-Are you enjoying it?

-

-Yes.

-How are you feeling, Rhian?

-How are you feeling, Rhian?

-

-Shattered... I can't talk!

-Despite the cold conditions

-and the muddy terrain...

-..everyone got to the end

-in one piece!

-What did you think of the course?

-It's long and flat.

-It was good to be able

-to see into the distance.

-The cold weather didn't help.

-The cold weather didn't help.

-

-It was cold and it didn't help.

-But you still enjoyed it.

-

-Yes, it was good.

-It's a great feeling

-to complete a 10km race.

-and feel great to have done it.

-You've grown into

-a close-knit group.

-We knew each other beforehand but

-are closer friends thanks to this.

-I've enjoyed it

-and want to carry on.

-are ready for the next challenge!

-Well done to all the runners.

-Wednesday is St Dwynwen's Day.

-It's a special day for the Welsh

-to declare their undying love...

-Yws Gwynedd is performing

-in the concert.

-Elin has been reminiscing with the

-popular singer from Llan Ffestiniog.

-# We're all troubled

-by the same old things

-# We're all soil in the end

-# But life is great #

-Yws Gwynedd has been performing

-in Wales for about 20 years.

-Do you remember Yr Anhygoel?

-# Grab your joy with both hands

-# Yeah, yeah #

-He then formed Frizbee

-which was a popular band in its day.

-# I live where I once lived before #

-After a break from the scene,

-he was back in 2014...

-..and we've enjoyed a feast of music

-from Yws Gwynedd a'r Band.

-# There's no-one left #

-You've been performing on stage

-for over half of your life.

-What are your most

-prominent memories?

-It's the stages

-and the corners of the pubs!

-CHEERING

-The highlight of my career

-was being the closing act...

-..on the Saturday night of

-Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau in about 2006.

-It was incredible

-and a warm summer night...

-..with 6,000 people

-singing my lyrics back at me.

-# La, la, la, la, la,

-la, la, la, la, la #

-I took a long break and didn't know

-what would happen when I came back.

-It was a lot of work because

-I was with the band, Frizbee...

-..and came back under my own name to

-give my new material a head start...

-..and we've been Yws Gwynedd

-for the last three years.

-# But life is great

-# The grapes taste strong in

-the wine and there's good company #

-I don't think there's a formula

-for writing a song...

-..but if anyone asks for advice...

-..I'd tell them to write the song

-to please nobody but themselves.

-I do my best to avoid using

-"ch" and "ll" and it's got worse.

-It was alright with Frizbee but

-have stuck more to the rule lately.

-It makes you think

-in a different way.

-If you want to say something and the

-word starts with "ch" or "ll"...

-..you think of something else and it

-takes the song in a new direction.

-The Welsh language is brilliant as

-you can say things in a lot of ways.

-# There's no-one left #

-Your formula is working but have you

-thought of writing in English?

-I don't see the point of it.

-How can we listen to a song

-in Spanish and appreciate it?

-The video for Sebona Fi

-has been viewed 100,000 times.

-I'd be amazed if all of those

-# But life is great #

-I get a lot of money from Canada.

-By releasing it myself, I see where

-people are downloading my music.

-# But life is, but life is,

-but life is great #

-Yws a'r Band are writing a new album

-First, Yws will feature in the

-Radio Cymru 40th birthday concert.

-In 2016, his song Sebona Fi, was

-the favourite song of the listeners.

-Radio Cymru has been

-a very important platform for me.

-It's the biggest place for our music

-and they have been very supportive.

-It's an honour to perform

-with the full BBC orchestra.

-I'll sing a few songs

-and so will Alys Williams.

-I'm excited but nervous too.

-# The grapes taste strong in

-the wine and there's good company #

-# Brother! Look!

-# Look at the beautiful bouquet

-# I have just pillaged

-the pastor's garden!

-# And then there will be dancing

-# For the first minuet,

-it's on you that I am counting

-# Oh, what a sombre face!

-# But today, Monsieur Werther,

-everyone is joyous

-# Happiness is in the air!

-# From the gay sun

-# Full of flames

-# Into the resplendent azure sky

-# Pure light descends on our heads,

-thence into our soul

-# Everyone is joyous

-# Happiness is in the air!

-# And the bird

-which climbs into the heavens

-# On the breeze which sighs

-# Has come back to tell us

-# That God permits us

-# To be happy!

-# Everyone is joyous

-# Happiness is in the air!

-# Everyone is happy! #
