-Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Heno

-on Australia Day.

-your curtains and stay with us.

-On tonight's programme...

-..will Gerallt be the latest member

-of Bangor Football Club?

-Journalist and manager of the

-Atom Welsh Centre in Carmarthen...

-..Iola Wyn is my

-studio guest this evening.

-Welcome to the programme.

-The centre has been doing well.

-We're very busy.

-I look forward to hearing

-Rhodri Davies has been to Borough

-Welsh Congregational Chapel, London.

-a new choir.

-Hello, I'm Rhian Lois...

-with Wales National Opera.

-You can see me as Barbarina

-in The Marriage of Figaro...

-..and as Angelica in

-Figaro Gets a Divorce.

-Keep watching to find out more.

-We start the programme

-with the name, Storiel...

-..which is the new name of the

-Gwynedd Museum and Art Gallery.

-Storiel offers Bangor residents the

-chance to record the city's history.

-The first exhibition

-will concentrate on the history...

-..of Bangor Football Club's

-European matches.

-Gerallt went to find out how you

-can contribute to the exhibition.

-Like every other city,

-Bangor has its establishments...

-..like the College on the Hill,

-Pontio Centre and the cathedral.

-Bangor Football Club has also

-represented the city since 1876.

-..and like every other team,

-they have their good and bad times.

-The clubs record within Europe

-has brought a lot of pride...

-..especially the win

-against Napoli in 1962.

-They've appealed for memorabilia

-from the European campaigns.

-You already have a great collection

-of European memories, Kevin.

-Yes, we have some from the

-first game in Napoli in 1962...

-..to the Madrid game in the 1980s

-and even more recent campaigns.

-We want supporters and locals to

-come forward with their souvenirs.

-Many people associate Bangor

-with the football team.

-We hope to highlight that in the

-exhibition, over the coming months.

-The people of Bangor will know this

-building as the former city hall.

-However, the new home of Storiel

-will open soon...

-..and I've been given a sneak peek

-at the collections of Bangor FC...

-..which are safely kept here.

-We've been working closely

-with Bangor Football Club...

-..and they have a good following

-in the city and across North Wales.

-Many people are interested

-to see the old memorabilia...

-..including cups, a collection

-of programmes and original tickets.

-..including trophies, a collection

-of programmes and original tickets.

-We would love to borrow more

-souvenirs from the community...

-..to create a larger exhibition.

-There's a game every nearly weekend

-at Nantporth...

-..but the European campaigns

-are different.

-Yes, especially

-for the local players.

-The fact that Bangor represent Wales

-in the European Cup is great...

-..and it gives local boys the

-opportunity to represent their city.

-One of the players, Chris Jones

-has done quite the feat recently.

-Yes, Chris has been with us

-since 2009.

-He scored one of his first goals

-in the European Cup against Honka.

-How important is it

-to keep the history alive?

-I think its very important

-for the people of the area.

-We're appealing to the people of the

-area to bring their souvenirs to us.

-We hope this will make it

-an unforgettable exhibition.

-The exhibition opens

-on 20 February.

-Centre in Carmarthen...

-Everything that's held in the centre

-to find out more.

-From a visual highlight

-to a historical highlight.

-The biggest achievement

-for the Cor y Boro choir...

-..was winning at the National

-Eisteddfod in Liverpool in 1929.

-To understand the choir's history,

-you must learn about this chapel.

-It's the Borough Welsh

-Congregational Chapel in Southwark.

-# I don't ask for a luxurious life #

-It's a stunning chapel

-that looks just like a Welsh chapel.

-It has a very homely

-and comfortable feel.

-The original chapel

-was established in 1806.

-The first minister

-was a man from Carmarthen.

-There chapel has a tradition of

-having ministers from Carmarthen.

-Another of the chapel's traditions

-is competing in the Eisteddfod.

-He's reformed the choir for

-a new generation of London Welsh.

-I work in the city and my office

-is based just around the corner...

-..from the Shard, the Walkie-Talkie

-building and the Gherkin.

-There's also a little piece

-of Wales here in London.

-We hope this choir will boost Welsh

-religion and culture in London.

-I established a male

-and female choir...

-..but the time has come

-to form a mixed choir.

-The new choir was established

-to compete at the Eisteddfod...

-..to showcase the talents

-of the London Welsh.

-# Is fairer than the pretty lily #

-I'm a third generation London Welsh.

-My father's family came here

-from Ceredigion.

-I must praise Mike

-for his work here in London.

-Those who visit London don't realise

-the vibrancy of the Welsh language.

-Last night, this was certainly

-evident at the London Welsh Centre.

-This is where the choir congregated

-after a day's work.

-It's wonderful to welcome

-Cor y Boro...

-..as they reflect

-what's happening in London.

-Welsh culture is alive in London.

-It's encouraging to see young people

-celebrating their Welsh roots.

-the resurgence of the social scene.

-an experienced cast and crew...

-..including the opera singer

-from Pontrhydygroes, Rhian Lois.

-..and Figaro Gets a Divorce

-which is a brand new opera.

-In The Marriage of Figaro,

-I play the role of Barbarina.

-# Stop fidgeting, stop fidgeting #

-It's rather exciting.

-The company will start

-with The Barber of Seville.

-for a couple of weeks.

-We rehearsed Figaro Gets a Divorce

-before Christmas...

-..so the show is nearly ready

-to be staged.

-We've just started rehearsing

-The Marriage of Figaro.

-It's a difficult process and I've

-never done anything like it before.

-However, we must be open

-and enjoy the learning curve.

-What makes these operas so popular?

-The original libretto

-and the music speaks for itself.

-Mozart was the master of music.

-The Marriage of Figaro is a

-popular story with lots of laughter.

-It appeals to a variety of ages

-and everyone can enjoy the show.

-# This is madness

-# Who's knocking at the door?

-# Who's knocking at the door?

-

-# Why is it locked? #

-We're going on tour and will

-be visiting Llandudno and England.

-It will be great

-to experience being on tour.

-I've never toured before so it

-will be a new experience for me.

-What's next

-after finishing these operas?

-I'll perform in a concert

-with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

-It's been 400 years

-since the death of Shakespeare...

-..and there's a concert with

-Dame Judi Dench and David Tennant.

-Over the summer, I'll make my

-American debut with Santa Fe...

-..to perform the part of Zerlina

-in Don Giovanni.

-I'm very excited.

-Rhian, it's been wonderful to chat

-to you and good luck with the WNO.

-Thanks for chatting to us.

-Thanks for chatting to us.

-

-Thank you, Llinos.

-Good luck, Rhian.

-Most of us depend on our phones for

-much more than calling and texting.

-If I haven't noted a special date

-in my phone, I will forget about it.

-If you have a smart phone,

-you'll find an app for everything.

-We sent Glen Bartlett to look

-at the latest app releases for us.

-It's going to be another

-successful year for the apps.

-The best testers for these apps

-are the public who'll download them.

-So let's go and find some!

-Let's look at the first app,

-Gwlad, Gwlad.

-The Gwlad, Gwlad app was created

-to help people learn the anthem.

-You probably

-already know the anthem.

-Yes, I do.

-Let's give it a go.

-Let's click on the box.

-# Mae hen wlad fy nhadau

-yn annwyl i mi #

-The app is handy for people

-who want to learn the anthem...

-..who want to learn Welsh and

-those who have moved to the country.

-This next app is only available

-on Android devices...

-..and isn't available

-on iPhones or iPads.

-This app enables you

-to control your time.

-All you have to do is enter the task

-and place a 25 minutes timer...

-..and this app

-will count down the time.

-This app also gives you

-a five minutes break...

-..before starting again

-at 25 minutes.

-Do you think this is a useful app?

-This could be a great app for

-busy people with many things to do.

-Occasionally, you lose track of time

-and this can keep you organized.

-On this next app, we have

-the ukulele, guitar and piano.

-A tutor is built into this app...

-..which shows you how to play a song

-and how to tune the guitar.

-I think this is a clever app.

-I'd love to learn to play the piano.

-This is a simple app to help

-without having to pay for lessons.

-This is free and you can easily

-place it on the piano to help you.

-This is very useful

-and I enjoyed this app.

-Iola Wyn has been my studio guest

-this evening.

-Is there an app for you?

-The more apps you have, the less

-room you have for photographs.

-What are the future hopes

-for the Atom?

-We hope that people will continue

-to use the centre.

-We have seven rooms.

-There will be a St David's Day

-parade in Carmarthen on the 1 March.

-Thank you, Iola.

-Tomorrow is Wednesday and

-we'll be playing Fancy A Fortune?

-Here's what happened last week.

-Hello?

-Hello, who's on the phone?

-Hello, who's on the phone?

-

-It's Kimberly Hughes from Rhydyfro.

-Robin, off you go!

-Congratulations, you've won 1,000.

-# Fancy a Fortune? #

-On a stormy day like today...

-..we hope to bring a little sunshine

-by delivering some money.

-is your lingering voice

-# Cash is king #
