-He's a good mate now!

-Congratulations to you.

-It's incredible.

-Can you tell us more

-about cage fighting?

-People know it as cage fighting...

-..but it's part of

-the grappling sports.

-It's a massive business.

-There's a lot of prize money

-to be won.

-The UFC was bought out.

-It was 4.2 billion.

-You've got your sights on Vegas.

-Las Vegas is the centre of

-excellence.

-I hope to fight in Vegas

-later in the year.

-It's your ambition to fight in

-America.

-I've fought in Alabama.

-I want to go to Vegas.

-You've got a black eye

-and a broken nose.

-You can see the man I fought

-in the photograph.

-He's Albert Morales.

-There's another Welshman in the UFC.

-I think I look better than him.

-There's a team behind me.

-They help me with the training.

-I'm eleven stone at the moment.

-My weight fluctuates.

-I have to lose the weight

-to be about nine stone.

-I heard that you went

-to a camp for 28 weeks.

-I was fighting in London...

-..but my opponent pulled out.

-I went back into camp.

-I was there from March until the

-last week.

-It's great to have you here.

-The shorts are covered in blood.

-I think it's my blood!

-There was a lot

-of blood everywhere.

-Thank you, Brett.

-People have ways of saying tomato.

-How do you say Lido?

-Tonight, Yvonne's at the National

-Lido of Wales in Pontypridd.

-I don't know how I say it.

-Let's hope I don't fall

-into the water.

-It's dry at the moment

-so we've taken down the umbrellas!

-I'm at the National Lido of Wales.

-It first opened 90 years ago.

-The Lido first opened in 1927...

-..and brought the Mediterranean

-to the South Wales Valleys.

-Thousands of people

-came here to go swimming.

-The local lad, Sir Tom Jones enjoyed

-a swim here before he shot to fame.

-The swimmer, Jenny James

-also took the plunge here.

-She was the first Welsh person

-to swim the English Channel in 1951.

-Her fame extended beyond Wales when

-she swam the Loire River in France.

-She also did the Nile Swim in Egypt.

-It closed in 1991 but re-opened

-following its renovation in 2015.

-It's a popular attraction

-for those in Pontypridd and beyond.

-That was the history of the Lido.

-I'm now joined by Jayne Rees.

-How do you say Lido?

-I know how to say it!

-I made history.

-I was the 10,000th person

-to come here.

-It was great

-and came as quite a shock.

-People love coming here.

-It doesn't matter

-what the weather is like.

-What is on offer here?

-What is on offer here?

-This is a great site

-with different pools...

-..for swimmers and children.

-There's also activities

-such as aqua-aerobics.

-The children will also be here

-over the summer.

-Andrew Ebbsworth is with me now.

-I live in the town.

-You are like a fish and always here.

-I come here every weekend...

-..and on my days off.

-I try to spend about two

-and a half hours of swimming.

-Do you feel healthier

-by coming here?

-Yes, it's great to be

-outdoors to swim.

-Bonny Hall and Kelis

-are here tonight.

-I came here when I was

-the same age of Kelis.

-I'd meet friends.

-We also had chips afterwards.

-Kelis is your daughter.

-I love it here.

-It's great to come here

-with friends.

-We play around too.

-We might go for a dip later.

-Yvonne is joined by our wheel

-for tonight's Fancy A Fortune?

-Can you remind us

-of tonight's question, Yvonne?

-Ragsy is going to spin the wheel.

-What's the name of the famous singer

-from Pontypridd?

-1) Tom James, 2) Tom Jenkins,

-or 3) Tom Jones?

-Call us with your answer

-Welcome back.

-Our next stop is the village

-with the longest name in Europe.

-Llanfairpwllgwyngyll... gogogoch.

-It's quite a mouthful!

-Elin is at the village primary

-school that's close to her heart.

-This place is very close to my heart

-as it's my old primary school.

-I recall singing over there

-at the Christmas shows...

-..and have fond memories

-of being here.

-I've been invited here for

-the launch of the school's CD.

-We'll hear more about it shortly.

-But there's a lot of recording

-been taking place in Dolgellau.

-Many of the primary schools

-are either closing...

-..or now come under Ysgol Bro Idris.

-To mark this milestone,

-they've produced a special CD.

-Gerallt was there on our behalf

-and here's a list of the schools.

-Ysgol Gynradd Dolgellau,

-Dinas Mawddwy, Rhydymain...

-..Brithdir, Friog, Llanelltyd,

-Ganllwyd and Ysgol Uwchradd y Gader.

-Here's the story.

-# To vary the pitch effectively

-# And appeal to the ear #

-Congratulations on the singing

-as they sound wonderful.

-Tell us about the choir

-and the song we're hearing.

-The choir was formed in 2015

-when I got a job at Ysgol y Gader.

-The choir is made up of girls

-from Year 7 to Year 10.

-The song shows the importance

-of music...

-..and how it makes us smile,

-feel happy, sad or angry.

-They have been singing this song

-since the very start.

-It has been performed at concerts,

-Eisteddfods and competitions.

-# I'll choose the structure,

-that's what I'll do

-# Singing in unison or harmony

-# Thin or thick?

-In unison or with three?

-# That's the choice that I have #

-The CD that we're recording contains

-a variety of songs.

-The songs are folk, religious, about

-Christmas and in Welsh and English.

-It's a lot of fun with Mr Evans and

-different to what we do every day.

-In September, we join the new school

-of Ysgol Bro Idris.

-The choir means we compete at the

-Eisteddfod and get to record a CD.

-We're both former pupils

-of Ysgol Brithdir.

-We've been preparing for months for

-the CD by the Ysgol y Gader choir.

-We're lucky that Mr Evans and Carol

-Roberts have helped with the CD.

-We're sad to see the closure

-of Ysgol Brithdir...

-..but look forward to attending

-the new school of Ysgol Bro Idris.

-You're taking to the stage

-at Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau too.

-Yes, the girls are busy preparing

-for the event.

-We're performing at Sesiwn Fawr

-Dolgellau on Saturday afternoon.

-I'm delighted

-that they will be there to help.

-Good luck with Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau

-and the new CD.

-Thank you.

-# Thin or thick?

-In unison or with three?

-# That's the choice that I have #

-Good luck to all in Dolgellau and

-the CD is out in time for Christmas.

-Tonight, Ysgol Llanfairpwll is

-launching its CD called Bwrlwm.

-Ceri Gwyn is a teacher who has been

-busy conducting the choir...

-..and writing the songs.

-Yes, and we have published

-three books to date...

-..and the head teacher told us

-to choose a few for a special CD.

-That's how it all started.

-The children will also have

-something to keep for life.

-Yes, and they all love it.

-Are you excited about the concert?

-Are you excited about the concert?

-

-Yes, I am.

-What do you enjoy about being part

-of the school choir, Huw and Sarah?

-It's given us the chance

-to do something different.

-The CD was a lot of fun to record.

-It's given me confidence

-in my singing and performing.

-I enjoy singing with friends.

-You can do some singing shortly.

-Everyone's here to listen and

-we've got some tearful parents...

-..because your daughter is leaving

-Ysgol Llanfairpwll this year.

-Yes, and you've just been chatting

-with her.

-It's very emotional for the parents

-and great for them to have a CD.

-The songs are great and they are

-so lucky to have Mrs Ceri Gwyn.

-She's written some great songs

-for the children.

-My daughter and her friends enjoy

-every second of being in the choir.

-You'll have the CD on loop

-in the car.

-What do you enjoy about

-being part of this CD, Eleri?

-I enjoy singing and it shows

-everyone what we can do.

-And you sing very well too!

-What's your favourite part about

-being in the Llanfairpwll choir?

-It's fun and get new experiences.

-You just enjoy it!

-You can take this CD to your parents

-and good luck with the singing.

-We'll have a song

-before the end of the programme.

-performance later in the programme.

-Three years ago, Enlli Parri

-won the Bryn Terfel Scholarship.

-It's a pleasure to welcome Enlli

-to the Heno studio.

-She's joined by the musicians,

-Hannah Roberts, Mared Browning...

-..and Elen Roberts.

-Welcome to you all.

-It's great to have four young

-enthusiastic girls on the sofa.

-You've organized a concert

-that features some of your friends.

-We're performing at an evening

-of music in Rhiwbina next Monday.

-The aim is to raise funds and

-awareness of the youth orchestra.

-All profits will go towards the

-National Youth Orchestra of Wales.

-All the members

-have been challenged...

-..to raise 100 each.

-What can we expect?

-There'll be five of you.

-Branwen and Lleucu

-will be joining us too.

-We're all going to perform...

-..as solos, groups, duos and trios.

-People will hear

-some incredible music.

-You're now at The Guildhall School

-of Music & Drama in London.

-Yes, I've just finished

-my second year...

-..at the Royal Academy of Music

-in London.

-I'll be starting there too.

-I'll be my first year.

-We don't play the same instruments.

-I play the flute.

-I play the harp.

-I play the viola.

-Why are you raising money?

-The truth is that the orchestra

-didn't have the money...

-..to run its course.

-It meant that the auditions

-were postponed.

-It's important to help us fund

-the orchestra.

-This is very important

-for the young musicians of Wales.

-I've been in the orchestra

-for a few years.

-It's helped me to grow and mature

-as a musician.

-We also visited Germany recently.

-You wouldn't be where you are now

-without the youth orchestra.

-Yes, it's incredible to

-have these experiences.

-I really hope to develop

-and go into other orchestras.

-It's great to play with Enlli

-and other musicians.

-What are your hopes?

-We hope to be professional

-musicians.

-The concert is on

-Monday 24 July at 7.00pm.

-It's Wednesday and here's our

-question for Fancy A Fortune?

-You've got a few minutes left

-to enter.

-What is the name of the

-famous singer from Pontypridd?

-1) Tom James, 2) Tom Jenkins,

-or 3) Tom Jones?

-Call us with your answer

-After years of hard work, we hear

-of the literary masterpiece...

-..that has been a labour of love for

-Gwyn Griffiths and Meic Stephens.

-I'm at the National Lido of Wales

-in Pontypridd.

-It's a great night.

-It's 90 years since it opened.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Let's return swiftly to Yvonne and

-guests at the Lido in Pontypridd.

-How are things going and are you

-wearing your bikini yet, Yvonne?

-Thank you to you both.

-I'll wear my bikini

-if you get your mankini, Rhodri!

-There's a swimming club

-from the Rhonda here.

-What's your best swimming style?

-I prefer freestyle.

-I enjoy swimming outdoors.

-It's very different

-to swimming indoors.

-Is this water warm?

-The water is warm from time to time.

-We're racing in September.

-Do they behave Matthew?

-They are behaving themselves.

-Go back to your post

-as the lifeguard, Matthew.

-Einir Sion has joined me.

-Was Parti Ponty a success

-last weekend?

-It was a real success.

-We had 10,000 people.

-The weather wasn't great...

-..but Ragsy

-and so many others were great.

-There was Jack Ellis

-and Eddy Crawford.

-We had a whole host

-of things going on.

-It had a great atmosphere.

-Come and see us in 2018!

-Back to you in Llanelli.

-Thank you, Yvonne.

-Do any of you enjoy swimming?

-I'm not a swimmer.

-I do some shadow boxing.

-We don't really swim.

-It's time for some literature

-and following years of grafting...

-..Gwyn Griffiths and Meic Stephens'

-1,000-page masterpiece...

-..featuring the finest

-Welsh literature is complete.

-The Old Red Tongue is a collection

-that contains more than 300 pieces.

-It's an English translation

-of Welsh literature.

-Rhodri chatted to the authors.

-I'd written a book in the Breton

-language that was published in 2006.

-It was playing on my mind

-and that of the publishers too...

-..and this marked the start

-of this book in Welsh.

-The purpose of the book...

-..is to introduce Welsh literature

-to non-Welsh speakers.

-That includes men and women in Wales

-and those beyond the border.

-It starts with The Book of Llandaff

-that was written in Latin...

-..and moves on to The Gododdin

-and Taliesin.

-Many of this early poetry

-was composed in Scotland.

-Early Welsh poems originated from

-the North of England and Scotland.

-It moves on to the Poets of the

-Princes and Poets of the Nobility.

-It continues with religious works,

-the Renaissance, Methodist hymns...

-..and it leads us to the modern era.

-I hope this book enlightens,

-captures plenty of attention...

-..and proves that the Welsh

-language isn't something recent...

-..but was once spoken across

-the whole of the British Isles.

-Is it fair to say that it's

-a lesson in Welsh history here?

-There are essences

-of Welsh history...

-..as Welsh literature reflects

-the society that produced it.

-We explain the identity of each

-author and their significance...

-..and there's an introduction

-to every century.

-One of our initial problems

-involved the number of pages.

-There were 1,600 pages

-and we reduced it by 600.

-This was heartbreaking at times.

-You don't expect to see pieces from

-Geraint Jarman and Heini Gruffudd.

-This is surprising but intentional.

-If it wasn't for

-the likes of Salesbury...

-..and his manifesto to save the

-language in the 16th century...

-..would the language have survived?

-If it wasn't for Salesbury

-risking a visit to Henry VII...

-..the Welsh Bible

-may not have existed.

-Salesbury asked Henry's permission

-to publish in Welsh.

-Nothing compares to it

-in the Welsh language.

-It presents the Welsh with their

-literature and they should read it.

-There hasn't been a collection

-of this magnitude before.

-Who knows what impact it'll have...

-..but it's all depends on publicity

-and people like yourself!

-In the next part of the programme...

-..we step back to the 1950s with

-Grease in the Millennium Centre.

-There's also music from the pupils

-of Ysgol Llanfairpwll.

-And we also play Fancy A Fortune?

-If you've entered, stand by your

-phone and we'll see you shortly.

-.

-come from?

-# I solve my problems

-and I see the light

-From the age of eight,

-I did gymnastics across Wales.

-I was in the British Championships

-in 2002 and was first in Britain.

-This facility

-has helped me get into dance.

-Every year, Russell Grant

-did summer shows in Harlech...

-..and I was a part of those

-small productions...

-..but got cast in more

-important roles as time passed.

-He encouraged me to go to London

-to these specific colleges.

-He also gave me advice on how

-to prepare and get into it all...

-..and I eventually got a place

-at place at the MTA.

-I was meant to graduate

-in the September...

-..but in the April, my course tutor

-got me a role in Miss Saigon.

-Being Welsh, I was able to sing

-and my gymnastics helped too.

-I only did one audition

-so was pretty lucky.

-There was 200 applicants

-that were whittled down to one.

-John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John

-shot to fame...

-..when they played Danny and Sandy

-in the original film.

-This time, we have Tom Parker

-from the band, The Wanted...

-..and the winner of the BBC's Over

-The Rainbow in 2010, Danielle Hope.

-Grease is massive and will

-transport you back to the 1950s.

-I play Sandy who is a young girl

-going through high school.

-We've all gone through these trials

-and tribulations of high school.

-Eugene Felsnic is a timid character

-who keeps himself to himself...

-..but is very expressive and is the

-class clown who wants to be seen.

-# Grease is the word #

-It's very special for him

-to be performing in Wales...

-..not only in Cardiff but in

-Llandudno which is closer to home.

-How's your Welsh coming along?

-I live with someone from Llanelli.

-Is that good or bad?

-Is that good or bad?

-

-It's not far off!

-I can say "Nos Da" and "Cwtch" but

-it's a bit forward for a first meet!

-Mam said that due to my friendship

-with Louisa from Eastenders...

-..then I should get a job easily

-but it isn't that easy.

-I'd like to be in Les Mis

-and The Phantom of the Opera.

-That would be a dream

-but I'll take whatever comes.
