-..and featured

-in a number of our items.

-He was the last surviving brother

-and two sons, Richard and Alun.

-We send our condolences to the

-Gellionnen in Clydach near Swansea.

-# The message is in your heart,

-in playtime and in work

-# To love God and your fellow man

-# For all eternity #

-Thanks to Ysgol Gellionnen

-in Clydach.

-You can watch all the carols

-in their entirety...

-..on the Heno

-and Prynhawn Da Facebook pages.

-Tonight's studio guests are the

-father and son from Merthyr Tydfil.

-It's Gari and Jamie Bevan.

-Gari was the 2015 Welsh Learner of

-the Year at the National Eisteddfod.

-His son is the musician, Jamie Bevan

-who performs for us later.

-Welcome to you both.

-Thank you for your help with

-our Christmas Cracker Competition.

-Congratulations on winning

-the Welsh Learner of the Year.

-Thank you.

-It's been a very busy year.

-Next year's competition was launched

-this week.

-Yes, and it brings back fond

-memories for me.

-It's important to have fun...

-..and help other Welsh learners.

-You must be very proud of your

-father.

-Yes, I am.

-Dad and Mam sent my brother and I

-to a Welsh school.

-Mam learnt Welsh.

-But we spoke English at home.

-It's difficult to change

-from speaking in English...

-..to speaking in Welsh.

-I only started speaking Welsh

-to Mam when I was 29 years old.

-We both spoke to my son in Welsh...

-..but conversed with each other in

-English!

-It was very strange.

-We have changed this now.

-There's a centre in Merthyr Tydfil.

-It's great for the area.

-I speak Welsh at the centre.

-I speak to my grandsons in Welsh

-now.

-They think it's natural to speak

-Welsh.

-Jamie is singing for us later.

-You started singing to promote the

-language.

-Yes, that's right.

-It was a great way to promote the

-Welsh language in Merthyr Tydfil.

-Music a powerful weapon.

-National Theatre Wales

-is celebrating its fifth birthday...

-..by staging a family musical by

-Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals.

-It opens tomorrow

-at the Swalec Stadium in Cardiff.

-# A long time ago

-in the kingdom of Candy

-# A lion once roamed the streets #

-I released the album

-called Candylion in 2007.

-It was followed by a short tour

-with Lisa Jen.

-It felt natural

-to build on what I'd done before...

-..so I wrote six

-or seven new songs...

-..about Candylion

-who turns into a monster.

-The rest of the characters

-have to try and tame this monster.

-It's great that Candylion is having

-a new lease of life in the theatre.

-Hey, guys!

-The story of Candylion was devised

-from the idea of creatures...

-..and hybrid characters that

-are half lemon and half Dalmatian.

-I'm half orangutan

-and half meringue.

-# We're flying in love

-or falling in hate

-# Candy #

-The story of Candylion is set

-in a place called Pixel Valley.

-It's Candylion's journey

-to being a better person.

-It's hoped that it's a production

-in 360 degrees...

-..so the audience

-should feel part of Pixel Valley.

-It's great because

-I get to do what I like...

-..which is singing,

-acting and dancing.

-I'm not a dancer but I like rocking

-out and it's a great experience.

-On his original tour with this album

-with Lisa...

-..Gruff was surprised at the number

-of young people in the audience.

-A lot of it

-will be aimed at children...

-..but Gruff's also playing music

-that everyone is going to enjoy.

-# Candylion #

-Thank you very much.

-The musical looks incredible.

-It starts tomorrow

-and runs until 2 January.

-Earlier, Neville from Abergele

-won an iPad Air in our crackers.

-There's another chance for you to

-win one of the prizes in the studio.

-Here's the question again.

-What is Rudolph?

-1) a reindeer, 2) a dog,

-or 3) a kangaroo?

-Call us with your answer

-on 08334 35 12 44.

-We leave you with Jamie Bevan

-performing the song, Gaeaf Oer.

-# I remember

-the Christmas of yesteryear

-# The food, drink and laughter

-# Friends by the fireplace

-# Reciting the story of Jesus

-# Reciting the story of Jesus

-# To absent friends,

-# Are you among

-the merriment and laughter?

-# When the snow falls

-and the wind turns cold

-# Winter comes to cool our hearts

-# Winter comes to cool our hearts

-# At Christmas, five years ago
