-Hello and welcome to Monday's Heno.

-It's great to have your company.

-We hope that Brian hasn't

-caused you too much trouble.

-Yes, it was quite stormy

-but it's settled down now.

-On tonight's programme, we're joined

-by the commentator, Alun Wyn Bevan.

-We're also joined by Jac y Do

-who are celebrating 30 years.

-Coming up in tonight's programme...

-On Friday, Owain went behind the

-scenes at the BT Sport channel...

-..as they visited Llanelli

-for the Scarlets and Bath match.

-We also hear about the new musical,

-Eye of the Storm.

-The music has been composed

-by Amy Wadge...

-..who's also written for the likes

-of Ed Sheeran and Kylie Minogue.

-It's 115 years since the Pike's shop

-opened in Porthmadog.

-I'm here to wish them

-a happy birthday.

-Let's start the programme

-by forgetting all about Storm Brian.

-Over the weekend, the name on

-all of our lips was Lloyd Macey...

-..who appeared on

-The X Factor last night.

-Didn't he do well?

-He took a risk by singing

-a song from Disney's Moana.

-But he's reached the lives

-and everyone is so proud of him.

-# See the line

-where the sky meets the sea

-# It calls me

-# And no-one knows how far it goes #

-Well done.

-He was fantastic.

-On Friday, Daf Wyn

-visited The Old Library in Cardiff.

-He tried his best

-to get Huw Stephens...

-..to reveal the winner

-of the Welsh Music Prize.

-However, the announcement

-was made after 8.00pm.

-The Gentle Good, Gareth Bonello,

-was the winner...

-..and Daf Wyn chatted to him

-straight after the announcement.

-The winner of the

-2017 Welsh Music Prize is...

-..Ruins / Adfeilion

-by The Gentle Good.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-How do you feel about winning

-the 2017 Welsh Music Prize, Gareth?

-I'm a bit shocked because I'd

-told myself that I wouldn't win...

-..as a lot of great music

-has been released this year.

-Tell us about your winning album

-called Ruins / Adfeilion.

-I recorded this bilingual album in

-January of last year in five days...

-..at the Felin Fach Studio

-in Abergavenny with Dylan Fowler.

-The songs are folk-like, acoustic

-with a few drums and strings.

-It deals with themes

-found within the modern society.

-What does the prize

-that you're holding mean to you?

-It's wonderful and always great to

-be praised for your creative work.

-I'm very grateful to Huw and

-everyone from the Welsh Music Prize.

-It's great to have something that

-sheds light on modern Welsh music.

-Congratulations to you

-and it's on to the next album.

-Yes, I hope so.

-A huge congratulations to you.

-A huge congratulations to you.

-

-Thank you.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Congratulations to Gareth Bonello.

-He joins us in the studio

-next Monday.

-Alun Wyn Bevan is our studio guest.

-Welcome to Heno.

-Alun launches a new book this week.

-Some would refer to you

-as a fantatic of sports.

-I am a sports fanatic.

-It's my grandmother's fault.

-She would always talk of her

-brother, Jack Elwyn Evans.

-He played for Llanelli.

-He played against the big names

-such as George Napier.

-He gained one cap for Wales

-in Edinburgh.

-They faced a fantastic game.

-Eric Liddell was one of the players.

-He was featured in Chariots of Fire.

-He was a great Scottish player.

-My grandfather on the other side

-of the family also enjoyed sports.

-Sport is in my blood.

-You were also raised

-opposite a playing field.

-The local children

-congregated at the site.

-It was our Wembley!

-We didn't need a holiday as we

-loved going to the cricket ground.

-It was paradise.

-The book chronicles many sports.

-You also mention Shane Williams.

-The book chronicles

-my adventures in sport.

-I'm related to Shane Williams.

-There's something for everyone

-in my book.

-There are references to football.

-I went to the Riverplate stadium

-in Buenos Aires.

-I don't remember much of the game

-as I was transfixed on the crowds.

-It was a fantastic experience.

-The book will be launched

-on Wednesday.

-Alun reaches

-a special milestone this week.

-Alun turns 70 this week.

-We've got a few birthday messages

-for Alun.

-On a fine, sunny August day...

-..we walked part of the coastal path

-to a beach off the beaten track...

-..that raised our spirits

-and soothed our souls.

-He's the most happiest

-and honest person I know.

-He gives 100% to everything

-and his glass is always half empty.

-He raises your spirits

-wherever you are.

-A rambler, referee and commentator.

-But I knew him as Mr Bevan when

-I was a pupil at Ysgol Pontardawe.

-I was never in the classroom,

-but on the Rec in Pontardawe.

-I've been in his company

-for many hours around the world.

-His knowledge not only about rugby

-but sport in general is extensive.

-His enthusiasm is also infectious.

-Your passion for any sport

-inspires viewers to also enjoy.

-The Newlands Cricket Ground

-in Cape Town, South Africa.

-It's one of the most beautiful

-and aesthetic cricket grounds.

-We always shared a room together

-on European rugby tours.

-I would snore, but Alun wouldn't

-say anything and wore headphones.

-I woke in the middle of the night

-and wondered where Alun had gone.

-I stepped out of the room

-to find him asleep in the corridor.

-He said that he had backache

-but it was the snoring!

-If you're looking for somewhere that

-offers an international cuisine...

-..and spectacular views, then

-the Big Apple is the place for you.

-Do you recall us filming in New York

-during the late 1990s?

-We had a lot of fun

-but Alun wanted to roam everywhere.

-Alun Wyn has long legs

-whereas I have short legs.

-Every time I asked for a taxi he'd

-say it was only five blocks away.

-Walk 100 yards down the road

-and it's a different scenery.

-Five blocks in New York

-is over a mile.

-Warner Brothers,

-and next door but one, Levis.

-I was shattered by the end.

-After a day of shopping

-all I want to do is go to bed.

-Alun Wyn has tricked the nation

-as his name isn't Alun Wyn Bevan.

-Gareth Morgan is a friend of ours

-and he calls him Charles Dickens.

-Bourbon Street Festival.

-Do you recall the films, Live And

-Let Die and The Pelican Brief?

-But I'm still searching

-for the house.

-# There is a house in New Orleans! #

-He's been a massive figure in my

-career and I wish him all the best.

-I didn't know he was 80 years old!

-Who'd have thought you were 70

-when you act young - happy birthday.

-Age doesn't matter - you're young at

-heart and in spirit. Happy birthday.

-Happy birthday to you, Bev

-and thanks for being a great mate.

-Alun is a wonderful person

-and a special friend.

-I wish you a happy birthday

-and here's to many more of them.

-That was a great selection of people

-wish you a happy birthday.

-You have visited so many places.

-I've visited many countries

-after finishing in education.

-I'm grateful for all my experiences.

-November

-is the month of legends on S4C.

-Here on Heno, we're looking for

-a special dog, a real life Gelert.

-If you would like to share a story

-about your special dog...

-..here are the details.

-For dog lovers everywhere...

-..we're searching for remarkable

-dogs, with the woof factor.

-A pug or poodle that

-has transformed someone's life...

-..or a sheepdog or whippet

-with a heroic story.

-We'll travel all over Wales...

-..in search of surprising stories

-of courage, inspiration and emotion.

-If you know the new Gelert of Wales,

-contact us on [email protected]

-Get in touch! We look forward

-to hearing your fantastic stories.

-Here's Pero's story.

-We've had Pero the dog

-since he was a pup.

-When a dog bonds with his owner,

-he listens to his every command.

-Once you form a bond with a dog,

-they'll do anything for you.

-A dog is a friend for life.

-Someone got in touch asking for

-a sheepdog and came to collect him.

-We sent Pero to Cockermouth.

-It was an opportunity for him

-to work independently...

-..without having to fight for work

-with the other dogs at home.

-He was a better sheepdog when he

-was accompanied with another dog.

-We're lucky to have a good selection

-of much younger dogs.

-He was five years old

-when he was sent away.

-He didn't bond with the new owner as

-his mind was on his first trainer.

-He wouldn't come out from his kennel

-at first.

-However, he eventually

-started to follow the bike...

-..but instead of turning around with

-the bike, the dog jumped the fence.

-A week passed

-and there was no sign of Pero.

-The following week,

-Alan spotted Pero on our doorstep.

-I did a double-take

-and he jumped for joy at being home.

-He travelled 250 miles

-from Cockermouth in Cumbria...

-..to Penrhyn-coch

-in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion.

-The day news broke of his adventure,

-the phone didn't stop ringing.

-I took 27 calls from radio

-and television stations...

-..The Telegraph,

-The Guardian and The Sun.

-We were even interviewed by

-Phillip and Holly from This Morning.

-It's been over 18 months

-since Pero returned to us.

-He has received letters

-addressed directly to him.

-He's become a local hero

-in our community.

-At the Royal Welsh Show,

-I was referred to as Pero's owner.

-They recognize Pero

-before recognizing me!

-It's an incredible story and Pero's

-journey has touched the nation.

-It's incredible that he walked

-all the way from Cockermouth.

-Our daughter wouldn't forgive us if

-we passed Pero on to someone else.

-He's here to stay.

-What an incredible story.

-Get in touch with your stories.

-After the break, we hear about the

-Pike's family shop in Porthmadog...

-..that's celebrating

-a special milestone.

-We chat to Jac y Do,

-friends of the programme.

-The band is marking 30 years

-and we can reminisce with them.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-We'd like to wish a happy birthday

-to Pike's shop in Porthmadog.

-It's 115 years old.

-The shop is currently run by the

-fourth generation of the family.

-Gerallt wishes them a happy returns.

-Pike's of Porthmadog

-is more than a newsagent.

-It's an institution

-that's now run by Meryl and Dafydd.

-Everyone in the area has a good word

-for the owners and their shop.

-I come to Pike's every day

-to collect my paper and have a chat.

-Meryl, Dafydd and the staff

-are great.

-The staff in the shop are very kind.

-Dafydd and Meryl are always ready to

-help the whole community and town.

-It's a wonderful shop.

-As a minister,

-Pike's is a great help to me.

-This is a hub and members of my

-congregation can often find me here.

-Pike's is at the heart of

-the community here in Porthmadog.

-Pike's is a familiar name

-in Porthmadog...

-..but for how long

-has the Pike family been here?

-We've been here for 115 years.

-My great-grandfather, William Pike,

-came here from Keyworth, Nottingham.

-He was a former cricket professional

-who came to coach Porthmadog's team.

-After one season, David Breeze,

-suggested that he opened a shop.

-Many Porthmadog residents can

-remember your father in the shop.

-Yes, it's still known locally

-as Bill Pike's shop.

-You have fond memories of him.

-You have fond memories of him.

-

-Yes, he was quite a character.

-Dad liked chatting to customers

-and expressing his opinions.

-The store is more

-than just a newsagents.

-We sell a little bit of everything

-like games, magazines and cards.

-You never miss an opportunity

-to publicize yourself!

-It's important that we do.

-How will you be celebrating

-the shop's 115th birthday?

-We're going to celebrate

-by sharing with the whole community.

-They've supported us for 115 years

-so we're giving something back.

-We're sharing 115 with a different

-charity every month for a year.

-For how long have you worked here?

-For how long have you worked here?

-

-I've been here for 12 years.

-Dafydd and Meryl aren't listening

-so tell us what they're like!

-They're fair and kind

-and it's a great shop to work in.

-We have lots of fun with the

-customers, staff, Dafydd and Meryl.

-Dafydd often offers me my P45 but

-I'm still here, like a boomerang.

-I've really enjoyed working here.

-It's quite a small shop with a

-confined space behind the counter.

-Does this husband and wife team

-get on well?

-We never argue in the shop

-but the same can't be said at home.

-Is that true, Meryl?

-Is that true, Meryl?

-

-Yes, he's right.

-Happy 115th birthday to Pike's.

-Give her a birthday kiss!

-A very happy birthday to Pike's!

-This following group have also

-reached a special milestone.

-It's not quite 115 years old...

-..but entertaining audiences

-for 30 years is worth celebrating.

-Jac y Do was established in 1987...

-..to perform at a Twmpath

-in Ysgol Ystalyfera.

-A small group joined forces

-to rehearse folk tunes...

-..which marked the beginning

-of Jac y Do.

-Since releasing their first album

-in 1994...

-..the boys have been busy performing

-all over Wales and beyond.

-They've been to America, Portugal,

-Spain and Brittany to name a few.

-They've also won several awards...

-..including the best band

-at a Toronto music festival.

-The group has often appeared

-on our programmes in the past.

-I'm sure many of you have

-danced to Jac y Do's music...

-..in dances at your local

-village hall or a wedding.

-Over the past 30 years...

-..Jac y Do has enchanted

-audiences all over the world...

-..with their magical

-Welsh folk music.

-Tonight, they're here to celebrate

-in our company.

-Happy birthday to Jac y Do.

-Jac y Do join us in the studio now.

-Congratulation on reaching 30 years.

-It must've flown.

-The past 30 years have flown by.

-It feels like only yesterday.

-You haven't changed a lot.

-I think our wives may say that

-we've changed over the 30 years.

-I've still got my hair though.

-It's 30 years of happy memories.

-On Saturday, we were in Llandybie.

-Lots of our friends were there.

-It was great to perform in front

-of many former members.

-There were 12 of us on the stage.

-It was the start

-of the celebrations.

-Saturday was the start

-of our celebrations.

-We're going to Patagonia,

-Russia, Belgium...

-..no, I'm joking.

-We'll be performing locally.

-How many weddings have performed at?

-We've performed in nearly

-1,000 weddings over the years.

-It's a great contribution

-to Welsh couples.

-We started out performing

-in Welsh Twmpath evenings.

-We were invited to go abroad.

-That's when we started visiting

-Brittany, Paris and other countries.

-We were invited to Kuwait.

-It was supposed to be

-a performance on St David's Day.

-However, I had double booked

-so we went to Meinciau!

-You still enjoy yourselves.

-We always have fun

-whilst performing.

-There was an electrifying

-atmosphere.

-What's the secret?

-The secret to lasting

-30 years is tablets!

-People still ask for us to perform.

-We have to please our fans.

-We keep going for one more year,

-every year.

-We now get invited back to play

-at wedding anniversary parties.

-later in the programme.

-The channel was filming here last

-Friday for the Scarlets v Bath game.

-We look forward

-to hearing from Owain.

-Amy Wadge is the composer of

-Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud song.

-Amy has now composed a soundtrack

-for the Eye of the Storm musical.

-We'll hear more about it shortly.

-Welcome back.

-The Autumn Internationals

-are around the corner...

-..and the main clubs competition,

-the Champions Cup, has started.

-Last Friday,

-the Scarlets played against Bath.

-Owain visited Parc y Scarlets,

-not to watch the game...

-..but to discover how the games

-are broadcast on our screens.

-When you arrive

-at Parc y Scarlets...

-..you're greeted with a sculpture

-of the hero, Ray Gravell.

-There's also a shop to buy

-a new shirt, restaurant and bar.

-If you're late, you often rush to

-your seat to catch the first kick.

-Therefore, you don't get to see

-what the television crews are up to.

-Over 50 workers are responsible

-for producing the rugby coverage...

-..by the Sunset+Vine

-production company for BT Sport.

-Thousands of metres of cables

-lead to trucks and satellites...

-..which made me realize there's lots

-of work going on behind the scenes.

-Gruff Davies, what's your role

-in this massive production?

-I'm not sure that it's enormous but

-I'm the producer of the programme.

-On a Monday, I look at my rota

-and start working on the programme.

-Throughout the week,

-we'll be talking to our pundits.

-Sarra Elgan will present the show...

-..and Sam Warburton, Sean Holley

-and David Flatman are her guests.

-I phone the contributors

-and ask them for comments.

-I help them to gather their thoughts

-ahead of the game.

-This is the gallery

-where the director sits.

-There are 18 cameras on the field

-and in the changing rooms.

-There's a great technical team

-to make sure that everything works.

-Tom, you have the important job

-of finding the replay clips.

-We have cameras

-situated all around the stadium.

-I talk to the guys who work in VT

-and tell them to replay clips.

-We decide on the best angle

-to replay slowly for the viewers.

-The director and I will decide

-which key aspects of the game...

-..to be discussed

-at half time or following the game.

-Sometimes, we argue about

-what we should show on the screen.

-However,

-the producer has the final say.

-Tonight, there's a very special

-pundit - Sam Warburton.

-Sam, how does it feel to be

-on the other side of the camera?

-I would rather be playing...

-..but playing in number 7, you get

-used to the time on the sideline.

-You try to turn

-a negative into a positive.

-I still enjoy

-being involved in rugby.

-It's raining tonight and

-I'm normally in a pair of shorts...

-..so to be wrapped up under

-an umbrella is a piece of cake.

-Is it tough to pass comment

-on your mates?

-I'm not going to criticize the boys.

-I give a technical rugby insight,

-which is what I enjoy.

-I offer some inside knowledge which

-people might not see on television.

-Everyone knows the queen of rugby,

-Sarra Elgan.

-She's used to travelling

-all over Europe to present the show.

-Tonight's game in Llanelli

-must feel like a home game for her.

-It's lovely to be 40 minutes

-from Cardiff.

-I had a lie-in this morning and

-then took the children to school.

-You're used to being

-the presenter...

-..but your work starts long before

-you step in front of the camera.

-There's lots of preparation work

-leading up to the game.

-I have to research the team

-and what they've been doing.

-I look at who's been playing well

-and others who aren't on top form.

-During the week, I'll study stats

-and chat with the pundits.

-It's much more responsibility

-than people realize.

-How do you prepare for

-when things don't go to play?

-It happens to me every week!

-It normally happens

-when Austin is one of the pundits.

-However, he's not allowed

-to come to the Welsh games!

-There's no telling what Austin

-and Ben Kay are going to say.

-Things normally go wrong

-when they try to be funny.

-However, we're all quite relaxed

-and we have lots of fun.

-The Champions Cup and the

-England Rugby League games...

-..are shown weekly

-on the BT Sport channel.

-It's great to see the other

-side of the camera.

-It was great to see what happens.

-BT Sport is show in England and

-Ireland.

-BT Sport is shown

-in England and Ireland.

-It's great to see Welsh presenters

-fronting its programmes.

-These are bilingual people.

-After the break...

-..we'll enjoy a taster of the

-brand-new musical, Eye of the Storm.

-We can't wait to hear

-the soundtrack by Amy Wadge.

-Taking us to the break...

-..and after a weekend of celebrating

-their 30th anniversary...

-..Jac y Do are in Llanelli

-to perform for us.

-Enjoy.

-Welcome back.

-The singer-songwriter,

-Amy Wadge, is world famous...

-..thanks to the Ed Sheeran

-hit song, Thinking Out Loud.

-Amy has just created

-another masterpiece...

-..by composing music for a new and

-original musical, Eye of the Storm.

-Geinor Styles penned the story...

-..and Tir na n-Og are performing it

-at The Dylan Thomas Theatre.

-Rhodri has the story.

-# When the clouds fill up the sky

-# And the rain,

-it falls on you and I... #

-The music is enough of a reason

-to go and see Eye of the Storm...

-..with the singing and performing

-doing justice to Amy Wadge's work...

-..but add the story of girl with a

-dream who's caring for her mother...

-..and you get a

-very powerful combination.

-I need to take Physics

-to get what I need for uni.

-You're a bit young to be thinking

-about university.

-Our director, Geinor Styles wanted a

-piece that inspired young people...

-..that incorporated women in science

-and young carers.

-Amy Wadge composed the music so

-Eye of the Storm is a new musical.

-I was doing a drama workshop

-with young carers...

-..and was stunned and didn't realize

-that children were carers.

-It's one thing to get an idea but

-something else to get the X factor.

-The amazing spectacle of a tornado

-in the middle of the show...

-..is eclipsed by the amazing music

-of Amy Wadge.

-I called her and asked her and

-was delighted to be a part of it.

-It was a very quick process.

-I did a draft and sent it to Amy and

-told her where I needed the songs...

-..and she had done it all

-in a fortnight.

-The actors

-play the musical instruments too.

-We perform in the scenes, jump onto

-the rostrum and grab a guitar...

-..before doing justice to the songs.

-It's quite challenging and the

-themes in the drama are complex...

-..but it's balanced out

-with the beautiful music.

-# Those were the days

-# That's how I'm formed #

-I heard the duet called Days.

-Mam has MS and I'm not a young carer

-but I do care for her...

-..and the lyrics in the song

-really struck a chord with me.

-When I sing the song, I think about

-myself, my little sister and Mam.

-Earlier this year, the band recorded

-the songs in a studio with Amy.

-The songs from this musical are

-on sale on iTunes and Spotify...

-..so there's ample opportunity

-to hear the songs.

-The music will reach a wider

-audience and so should the show.

-The message and humour

-are sophisticated...

-..and the emotions will affect

-both adults and children alike.

-They watch things by Pixar and many

-of those narratives are complex.

-Children will understand what we

-discuss as they are sophisticated.

-Where do you want to go, Annie?

-Where do you want to go, Annie?

-

-Indiana, USA.

-What will you study there?

-What will you study there?

-

-The Temple of Doom!

-I feel we should move beyond

-the confines of our schools...

-..because families

-need to see this show.

-The response has been great and

-the children seem to be inspired.

-We also shed light

-on young carers.

-I didn't realize that there were

-so many young carers in our schools.

-We hope to raise awareness of this

-and show they can achieve a lot.

-# Start at the bottom of the

-mountain you're climbing

-# Every now and then

-you might be hit by lightening

-# You won't know

-if you don't even try #

-Eye of the Storm runs from 7 to 10

-November at Taliesin Arts Centre.

-Alun Wyn Bevan

-has joined us tonight.

-You said that sport is in your

-blood.

-Your daughter also works in sport

-at the BBC.

-She assisted me in the final chapter

-of my new book.

-This Wednesday

-is set to be a special day.
