0:07:53 > 0:07:57- I love the Eisteddfod.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- I think the fact that - I'm a poet does help!
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- There's an old tradition - of bardic chairs...
0:08:07 > 0:08:16- ..and they are an important - symbol to poets in Wales.
0:08:16 > 0:08:26- I think it's important to know - about all the Chairs...
0:08:26 > 0:08:32- ..and I know that - there's thousands of them.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- How many have you discovered so far?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- I know of about 1,500 Chairs...
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- ..and their winners.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- I've won ten Eisteddfod Chairs.

0:09:22 > 0:09:29- Eisteddfod Chairs are collected - all over the world.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Some collectors are in America.
0:09:33 > 0:09:43- People are willing to pay - a lot of money for them.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- It's a shame that they have become - parts of private collections.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- You want the public - to get in touch with you.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- People can contact me - on Facebook or Twitter...
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- ..to tell me about - their Eisteddfod Chairs.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- It's something that I love doing.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- We'll chat again later.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- What do you use to record - a special date or small notes?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Is it a pen and paper - or your mobile phone?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- What about you, Iestyn?
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- I've got a book.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- I also use a computer.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- What about you, Daf?
0:10:29 > 0:10:39- Most of my work is on my phone but - I always reach for a pen and paper.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- What about you?
0:10:44 > 0:10:50- I prefer to use paper.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55- It's in black and white that way.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- I like pen and paper.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- More of us are ditching the pen and - paper for more crafty alternatives.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04- I've been busy investigating.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- We live in a digital era and this - device has taken over our lives.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19- For some, it's a daily planner - equipped with a diary and notebook.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- But what's wrong with - an old fashioned pen and paper?
0:11:26 > 0:11:35- In the last five years, - stationary sales have stabilized.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41- Less of us are spending money - on goods like pens and paper...
0:11:41 > 0:11:48- ..but we are falling in love with - crafty goods to keep and treasure.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55- Specialist shops have seen a 20% - rise in sales of office supplies...
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- ..like this shop in Llandysul.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- Styles have changed - and young people want funky stuff.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09- Last year, I received a batch - of notepads with wool covers.
0:12:09 > 0:12:17- Some are shiny or with animal prints - and they're a sell-out.
0:12:17 > 0:12:24- It's seems more personal - than a standard A4 binder.
0:12:25 > 0:12:35- We stock an array of Biros and pens - from the sophisticated to the cheap.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- A pen and paper is also handy - when you're baking some bread.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Hello, Crwst?
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- I run a baking business - and a pen and paper is essential.
0:12:51 > 0:12:58- I use a pen and paper to take orders - over the phone or at the door.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- One bloomer and two sourdoughs.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- I'll jot it down now - and I'll see you then.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- I always like to have colourful - and floral patterned notepads.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- I also like to keep a journal.
0:13:14 > 0:13:21- I've got diaries and write orders - down in these practical notepads.
0:13:21 > 0:13:28- The jotter-box is great - for making quick notes.
0:13:28 > 0:13:35- I grab a note and write down the - order and transfer it to the diary.
0:13:35 > 0:13:42- The singer, Heather Jones - has kept a diary for decades.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- It started back in 1958.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- But the only one I've salvaged - from my childhood is from 1966.
0:13:53 > 0:14:03- I was 16 years old and I wrote about - school and dating Geraint Jarman.
0:14:07 > 0:14:14- The diary is a great reminder, - but this one's seen better days!
0:14:14 > 0:14:20- This diary is in a poor state - and has lost its cover.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- I started buying - Forever Friends diaries.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- But they stopped producing them - so I opted for Winnie the Pooh.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- I don't really like Winnie the Pooh!
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- In the digital era, there's always - room for a good old pen and paper.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46- I like to make quick notes and it - would fluster me on the computer.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- I still write shopping lists.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- More companies are stocking these - supplies and more people buy them.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Long live the pen and paper!
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- There's still plenty to come - tonight.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- We return to Theatr Felinfach - for the opening of the classic...
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- ..Teilwng Yw'r Oen.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57- Is everyone ready, Daf?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Everyone's ready and fortunately - we weren't affected by the snow.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- I'm at the opening of the latest - production of Teilwng Yw'r Oen...
0:16:05 > 0:16:11- ..which is the Welsh version of - the Handel masterpiece, Messiah.
0:16:12 > 0:16:18- The cast and performers have been - working hard to hit those notes.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- # For Unto Us A Child Is Born
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- # Unto us, a Son is given
0:16:27 > 0:16:33- # Unto us, a Son is given #
0:16:33 > 0:16:38- I was working as a nurses officer - at Glangwili Hospital at the time.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- I'd seen The Young Messiah - on television...
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- ..and was quite familiar with it - but this came out of the blue.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- # Wonderful
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- # Counsellor #
0:16:52 > 0:16:58- It was a pleasure to be involved - in such a quality production.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- I hadn't done - anything like it before.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- The film is great for that period.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11- When you have quality singers - and instrumentalists...
0:17:11 > 0:17:16- ..then you won't get anything - but a quality performance.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- There are occasions when people - still approach me about it.
0:17:20 > 0:17:29- I can't take any credit as Handel - was the creator of this masterpiece!
0:17:29 > 0:17:36- # The Prince of Peace #
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- I didn't perform it live but - I'm glad that people are doing it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48- It's carried by the music.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- Everyone knows the songs - and I remember buying the album.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Trinity College released an album.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04- I listened to that one more than - the one by Geraint Griffiths!
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- # Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, - ba, ba, ba, ba #
0:18:10 > 0:18:15- It's lovely when I sing with - the choir and it feels so big.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- There's a real oomph behind us.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25- The choir really helps because it's - lovely and makes a lot of noise.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- I did the first pantomimes - of my career in this theatre.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- I know the stage and the acoustics - are great for a small theatre.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Rhys Taylor is the musical director - in the latest show.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- This is a massive challenge.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- Yes, that's right...
0:19:44 > 0:19:50- ..but it's been a lot of fun.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- It's quite difficult - to work with three choirs...
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- ..and an orchestra.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- We've got all the ingredients - for a great show.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09- I love Teilwng Yw'r Oen.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- I'd listen to it every Christmas.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- I chose to stage the performance.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- It was Christmas 2014...
0:20:24 > 0:20:29- ..and it snowballed to this day.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- I spoke to the choirs.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- They all seemed interested.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- The same was true for Rhys.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- It's taken time to find - some funding.
0:20:48 > 0:20:56- There's an extra performance too.
0:20:57 > 0:21:07- It's been very challenging.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- We've only got one choir member - who can read music.
0:21:13 > 0:21:23- It's a very challenging piece.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- There are so many - different sections.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33- I'm very excited about tonight.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- It's very nerve-racking.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- We're a community choir...
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- ..so this is very exciting for us.

0:22:10 > 0:22:11- There is a choice.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Why do they get it and not us?
