-I didn't want to sing a traditional

-Christmas carol.

-So many things are happening

-in the world.

-We give the same message

-despite the suffering.

-It was an anti-carol really.

-I wanted to give the message

-of peace whatever your religion.

-The irony is that religion

-has a lot to answer for.

-We need to remember

-those who suffer.

-You've been to Bethlehem.

-I visited Bethlehem with Plethyn

-I was pregnant as usual!

-Bethlehem was full though!

-I was very cold and

-we didn't have the right clothing.

-I didn't enjoy Bethlehem.

-I didn't like the place.

-It was so different

-to what we are taught.

-There were soldiers all around.

-People were selling stuff

-everywhere.

-It was very tacky.

-We were asked for bribes

-to see the places.

-Thank you, Linda. We'll chat again

-before the end of the programme.

-A biography of singer David

-Lloyd has recently been published.

-Welcome back to Heno.

-Earlier on, Lynda Morgan

-from Neath won a television...

-..in our Christmas Cracker

-Competition.

-You could still win some of the

-great prizes here in the studio.

-Here is the question for you again.

-Who dreamt of a White Christmas?

-1) Bing Go, 2) Bing Crosby,

-3) Bing Bong?

-Merry Christmas.

-Call us with your answer

-on 08443 35 12 44.

-Good luck to you.

-David Lloyd was one of Wales'

-most famous singers.

-Rhodri went to speak with

-the author of a new book about him.

-David Lloyd was born in Trelogan,

-Flintshire in 1912.

-His talent was evident when he sang

-in eisteddfods as a boy.

-His life changed when John Williams

-heard him at the Lixwm Eisteddfod.

-Williams was looking to recruit

-talent to the Guildhall in London.

-John Williams' adjudication said

-that this lad must attend college...

-..and if the audience wouldn't pay,

-he would pay for it himself.

-John Williams realised he had

-discovered a very special talent.

-Off to the Guildhall he went and his

-talent was immediately to the fore.

-In 1938, when he was

-still at college...

-..he was cast as Macduff

-in Verdi's Macbeth...

-..with the famous

-Glyndebourne Opera Company.

-This didn't happen very often.

-The Second World War brought an end

-to his promising opera career.

-David Lloyd joined

-the Welsh Guards...

-..and from then on, he concentrated

-on a different kind of music.

-They used David Lloyd's voice to

-sing patriotic songs, propaganda.

-They used David Lloyd's voice to

-sing patriotic songs, propaganda.

-He didn't need

-to sing opera any more.

-He would sing these patriotic songs

-to hymn tunes.

-He became an idol for his country

-and the country idolized him too.

-He was David Lloyd to everyone else

-but he was Uncle Davey to us.

-He was a very lovable man.

-He once asked me why I thought

-he had been so successful.

-I answered to say

-it was because of his voice.

-He said it was that he always

-sang from the heart.

-When he sang a song, he lived it.

-With success came problems.

-This is when his drinking became

-serious and affected his health.

-As well as the alcoholism,

-he suffered from depression.

-We also know that he chased women.

-With his body failing,

-the singing became more difficult.

-There is a sad end to the story.

-In 1969, this fragile man fell down

-the stairs at his sister's house.

-It's very sad.

-A man of his talents died by missing

-his step and hitting his head.

-That was the end.

-# The whole of India #

-People who refer to David Lloyd

-often use religious terms.

-The angelic voice, the heavenly

-voice kissed by angels.

-I'm very pleased to have had

-the honour of writing the book.

-I would have loved to have met him.

-# Amen #

-What an incredible voice.

-Yesterday, a special assembly

-took place at Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmbran.

-One pupil has won a competition

-to design a Christmas card...

-..for First Minister Carwyn Jones

-and the Welsh Government.

-Alun Williams went to congratulate

-Travis and to see the card...

-..before it was posted

-to all four corners of the globe.

-Over the years, I have chosen

-pictures for the Christmas card.

-This year, we decided to have a

-competition to design a card...

-..and winner is here this morning.

-Here is the man himself,

-the winner, Travis.

-You must be very happy.

-You must be very happy.

-

-I'm delighted.

-You look very happy.

-Why did you choose this design?

-It shows Wales and Christmas.

-Was it a big shock

-to hear that you had won?

-A huge shock.

-As Travis' best friend,

-how proud of him are you?

-I am very proud because he won

-across the whole of Wales.

-I'm very happy.

-You should have seen his face!

-We were all proud and the whole

-class congratulated him.

-It was a great feeling and then we

-heard Carwyn Jones was coming in.

-He can't do anything wrong.

-It was exciting for the children

-to do something like this.

-The card will be sent across

-the world with Travis' design.

-Well done, Travis.

-Linda Griffiths has been

-my studio guest this evening.

-The girls will be singing for us

-next week.

-They are releasing a CD for

-Christmas.

-That's all from us this evening.

-The Christmas Cracker phone lines

-are open until 1.55pm tomorrow.

-so get dialling!

-To play us out this evening, Linda

-Griffiths will sing Hen Garolau.

-Until tomorrow at 7.00pm, goodnight.
