-It's a great moment

-in the choir's history.

0:00:140:00:19

-To mark the occasion, Tim has

-decided to form a new choir...

0:00:190:00:24

-..in North Wales.

0:00:250:00:27

-It will be a huge challenge

-for Tim and his team...

0:00:280:00:32

-..forming a choir from scratch.

0:00:320:00:35

-September 2015.

0:00:380:00:42

-..performing in the North Wales

-International Music Festival.

0:00:430:00:47

-It's a huge opportunity.

0:00:470:00:49

-As summer turns into winter, there's

-a special birthday celebration...

0:00:500:00:55

-..in front of an audience of 2,000

-people in the Millennium Centre.

0:00:550:01:01

-The greatest performance

-in the choir's history.

0:01:010:01:04

-A celebration of five years.

0:01:050:01:06

-The North Wales choir

-is a key part of the night.

0:01:070:01:09

-It'll be special tonight.

0:01:100:01:11

-As part of the project, four choirs

-were formed in North Wales.

0:01:160:01:21

-Caernarfon and Holyhead in the west

-and Wrexham and Rhyl in the east.

0:01:210:01:25

-Monday. Eleri Wyn Watkins and

-Huw Llywelyn welcome back the boys.

0:01:280:01:33

-Works restarts

-after the summer break.

0:01:330:01:36

-The work slowed down

-during the summer break.

0:01:360:01:40

-We need to re-ignite

-the energy levels.

0:01:400:01:43

-Three, four.

0:01:430:01:45

-Press-ups, sit-ups and burpies.

0:01:450:01:48

-I don't like doing things like that.

0:01:490:01:51

-Tim also likes setting the boys

-a challenge.

0:01:530:01:55

-This time, an arrangement of Deio

-i Dywyn for the North Wales choir.

0:01:560:02:01

-A difficult arrangement.

0:02:010:02:03

-Very difficult indeed.

0:02:060:02:08

-A little difficult to say the least.

-Thank you, Tim.

0:02:130:02:16

-Really stick to your line. It's

-perilous - there are so many traps.

0:02:200:02:25

-It's very difficult.

-There are a lot of changes.

0:02:280:02:32

-One, two.

0:02:320:02:34

-Tim has arranged the song for us.

0:02:350:02:38

-There's pressure on us

-to perform it well.

0:02:380:02:41

-The Rhyl boys are struggling.

0:02:450:02:47

-They stick to the task in hand.

0:02:490:02:51

-The festival is the first time

-the North Wales choir will sing...

0:02:510:02:55

-..without the South Wales choir.

0:02:550:02:58

-Are Jenny Pearson and Andy Thomas

-faring any better in Caernarfon?

0:02:590:03:04

-The Northwalians will sing alone.

0:03:090:03:12

-It's important

-to perfect those notes.

0:03:120:03:16

-It's really important to maintain

-the momentum and energy levels.

0:03:190:03:25

-Ooh! Old Deio is causing

-a few headaches.

0:03:290:03:32

-Nia Wyn Jones and Huw Llywelyn

-also feel the pressure in Wrexham.

0:03:380:03:42

-It's not easy. It's very tricky.

0:03:430:03:45

-Come on, go for it.

0:03:470:03:49

-Oh, dear.

0:03:530:03:55

-It's a challenging arrangement.

0:03:590:04:01

-Some of these boys

-can't speak Welsh.

0:04:020:04:05

-It was difficult to get it right.

0:04:080:04:10

-We all have different voices.

0:04:110:04:13

-You come in at different times.

0:04:180:04:20

-You come in at different times.

-

-Firsts, seconds, basses.

0:04:200:04:22

-I hope we're ready on time...

0:04:250:04:27

-..and Tim can work with them

-when they meet next in Llandudno.

0:04:270:04:32

-The St Asaph concert is the North

-Wales choir's first solo concert.

0:04:330:04:38

-As the night approaches...

0:04:380:04:40

-..Tim has arranged

-a full rehearsal with the 80 boys...

0:04:410:04:44

-..in Llandudno, and it sounds

-as if they've done their homework.

0:04:440:04:48

-# Ffa-la, la-la, la-la, la-la,

-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

0:04:480:04:55

-# Would I go with Deio to Tywyn?

0:04:550:04:58

-# Ffa-la, la-la,

-la-la, la-la, la, la, la #

0:04:580:05:02

-It's nice to see all the practise

-we've done recently coming together.

0:05:020:05:07

-# Ffa, la, la, ffa-la-la #

0:05:080:05:11

-# Ffa, la, la #

0:05:110:05:13

-It sounds better than I expected.

0:05:130:05:16

-It's not an easy arrangement.

0:05:160:05:19

-# Ffa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

0:05:190:05:22

-# Ffa-la-la-la #

0:05:220:05:23

-It's improved

-since our rehearsal last Tuesday.

0:05:240:05:27

-It sounds good

-when we sing as an united choir.

0:05:280:05:31

-As well as performing Deio,

-the choir will sing Dal i Fynd...

0:05:340:05:38

-..a song written

-by the South Wales Only Boys Aloud.

0:05:390:05:43

-Soloists are required.

0:05:440:05:46

-You know what that means.

0:05:460:05:48

-Auditions.

0:05:480:05:49

-# I don't know where I'm going

0:05:500:05:53

-# But I do know where I'm from #

0:05:530:05:56

-Two months ago, most of the boys

-would never have stood...

0:05:570:06:00

-..and sung in front

-of a packed room.

0:06:000:06:03

-Their confidence has blossomed.

0:06:040:06:06

-Their confidence has blossomed.

-

-# Climb the mountain

0:06:060:06:08

-# But they tell me I will fall #

0:06:080:06:11

-I've already seen it.

-The boys are developing.

0:06:110:06:14

-# I could see the other side #

0:06:150:06:20

-The standard of the auditions

-is high.

0:06:220:06:24

-The captains have a lot to discuss.

0:06:240:06:28

-Tomos for the first solo.

0:06:280:06:29

-Tomos for the first solo.

-

-We have time to rehearse with him.

0:06:290:06:32

-The boys will have to wait

-to hear the outcome.

0:06:320:06:35

-Harri Rees-Jones from Rhyl

-will be crossing everything.

0:06:350:06:39

-Originally,

-my aim was to sing solos.

0:06:410:06:44

-I'm becoming more confident.

0:06:440:06:47

-If I was given the chance

-to sing the solo...

0:06:470:06:50

-..in front of hundreds of people...

0:06:500:06:52

-..I think my confidence

-would grow even more.

0:06:530:06:56

-Oh, right, Ok.

0:06:570:06:58

-Eleri's just texted me.

0:06:580:07:00

-"Hi, Harri, great news.

0:07:010:07:02

-"You've been chose to sing a solo

-in Dal i Fynd. Well done.

0:07:020:07:06

-"Congratulations. Eleri."

0:07:070:07:09

-Wow.

0:07:090:07:10

-Wow.

0:07:110:07:13

-Yeah...

0:07:140:07:16

-Everything's falling into place.

0:07:170:07:19

-I can't believe it really.

0:07:220:07:24

-Hard work pays off in the end.

0:07:240:07:26

-Yeah, I literally can't wait now.

0:07:290:07:31

-Harri doesn't have to wait long.

0:07:340:07:36

-The time has come.

0:07:360:07:38

-The performance at the North Wales

-International Music Festival.

0:07:380:07:42

-Through the loop on the front.

-That's it.

0:07:430:07:46

-The past three months has been

-an incredible journey for the choir.

0:07:460:07:51

-They're about to take to the stage

-as a choir in their own right...

0:07:510:07:55

-..for the first time.

0:07:560:07:57

-Hurry up.

0:07:580:07:59

-Only Boys Aloud is far more

-than the original dream.

0:08:000:08:05

-It's something

-that helps the boys to grow up.

0:08:050:08:09

-The boys feel that they own it.

0:08:110:08:16

-Backstage and the pressure mounts

-as the boys realise...

0:08:180:08:22

-..that they'll follow a performance

-by world-renowned soprano...

0:08:220:08:26

-..Elin Manahan Thomas.

0:08:270:08:28

-I'm nervous now

-because I can see the audience.

0:08:290:08:33

-All the rehearsals will pay off now.

0:08:330:08:35

-Yeah, um, um... yeah.

0:08:360:08:40

-# Ffa-la-la-la, ffa-la-la-la

-# Ffa-la-la-la, ffa-la-la-la

0:08:540:08:55

0:08:550:08:57

-# I received an invitation

0:08:570:09:00

-# Ffa-la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la, la

0:09:000:09:03

-# From Mr Jones of Brithdir

0:09:040:09:07

-# Ffa-la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la, la

0:09:080:09:10

-# In his letter he did ask

0:09:110:09:14

-# Ffa-la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la, la

0:09:140:09:17

-# If I wanted to go

-with Deio to Tywyn

0:09:170:09:21

-# Ffa-la-la-la-la-la-la... #

0:09:210:09:23

-The hard work has paid off.

-Deio i Dywyn sounds perfect.

0:09:230:09:27

-Dal i Fynd closes their programme.

0:09:320:09:35

-It's Harri's turn

-to take his place for his solo.

0:09:350:09:38

-# But if I try to find my own way

0:09:400:09:43

-# And just enjoy the ride

0:09:430:09:46

-# I could run towards the edge

0:09:460:09:49

-# I could see the other side

0:09:490:09:54

-# If I run this race alone

0:09:540:09:57

-# At least I've done it... #

0:09:570:09:59

-Not only has my voice developed,

-but my musical knowledge has grown.

0:09:590:10:05

-I'm starting to become

-a better performer.

0:10:070:10:09

-The whole experience

-is just amazing.

0:10:120:10:15

-I've had the best time

-I've ever had.

0:10:150:10:19

-# I'll try again,

-try again, try again

0:10:210:10:25

-# Try again, try again

0:10:250:10:28

-# Try again

0:10:290:10:34

-# Ooh-ooh-ooh

0:10:420:10:45

-# Ooh-ooh-ooh #

0:10:460:10:55

-It was amazing.

0:11:050:11:06

-A very special day

-and a great concert.

0:11:060:11:09

-I'm so proud of the boys tonight.

0:11:100:11:13

-They did a fantastic job...

0:11:140:11:16

-..especially Deio i Dywyn.

0:11:160:11:18

-Lots of 'geiriau' (words).

-Sorry, 'eiriau', a soft mutation!

0:11:180:11:22

-They're a lovely crew. They come

-from all kinds of backgrounds.

0:11:230:11:27

-For some of them, this project

-is the first time they've sung.

0:11:280:11:34

-Fair play, they've done

-everything I've asked of them.

0:11:340:11:38

-I couldn't ask for more.

0:11:400:11:42

-Success in St Asaph...

0:11:430:11:46

-..but their sights turn

-to the Millennium Centre...

0:11:460:11:50

-..and Only Boys Aloud's

-birthday celebration.

0:11:500:11:54

-It's nerve-wracking.

0:12:160:12:18

-The North Wales choir are

-an important part of the night.

0:12:190:12:22

-After the success of St Asaph, Tim

-is heading back to Llandudno again.

0:12:280:12:33

-This is the only full rehearsal

-before the Cardiff show.

0:12:330:12:38

-Next week will be

-concentrating all day.

0:12:460:12:49

-Plenty of energy and happy to work.

0:12:490:12:52

-On your feet, boys.

0:12:520:12:53

-There's a lot to get through.

-We're under pressure.

0:12:570:13:00

-# Ffa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,

-la-la #

0:13:010:13:05

-Following a successful concert,

-they're a little complacent today.

0:13:050:13:11

-We haven't rehearsed as a choir

-for about a month.

0:13:130:13:16

-Some members

-have forgotten their words.

0:13:170:13:20

-# With Deio to Tywyn #

0:13:200:13:22

-The most difficult part of this

-song is remembering the next line.

0:13:220:13:26

-# I received an invitation #

0:13:270:13:30

-Learning lines

-is not the only challenge...

0:13:300:13:33

-..before the concert in Cardiff.

0:13:330:13:35

-West End director Jonathan Butterell

-will stage the show.

0:13:360:13:40

-Their next challenge

-is moving when they're singing.

0:13:440:13:47

-I think Jonathan

-is a shock to the system for them.

0:13:480:13:52

-He's a hard worker.

-He wants everything to be perfect.

0:13:530:13:56

-It's hard work.

0:13:560:13:58

-It's hard work.

-

-Seven, eight, right.

0:13:580:13:59

-It's a young group

-overcoming self-consciousness.

0:13:590:14:02

-You've got to get past that first.

0:14:030:14:05

-Don't make it complicated.

0:14:050:14:07

-It's something else to worry about

-on stage.

0:14:070:14:10

-I'm worried about getting

-my steps wrong.

0:14:110:14:13

-The movements

-don't come naturally to everyone.

0:14:140:14:18

-We'll be on stage next week.

0:14:200:14:24

-We just have to go for it.

-We can do it.

0:14:240:14:27

-Thousands of people

-will be watching.

0:14:270:14:30

-It's a big concert

-for Only Boys Aloud.

0:14:300:14:33

-The buzz will carry them through

-and they'll just go for it.

0:14:330:14:38

-A week later.

0:14:430:14:45

-The choir's most important

-musical Saturday so far.

0:14:450:14:48

-Before the pressure,

-an opportunity to relax in Cardiff.

0:14:490:14:53

-It's nice having a little time

-to relax with the boys.

0:14:590:15:03

-Some banter.

0:15:030:15:04

-# If you gave me a chance,

-I would take it

0:15:050:15:10

-# It's a shot in the dark

-but I'll make it #

0:15:100:15:14

-It's a nice day and we're

-just enjoying the experience.

0:15:150:15:19

-We've relaxed this morning but

-we'll work hard this afternoon...

0:15:210:15:26

-..and make sure

-everything's perfect by tonight.

0:15:260:15:29

-The Northwalians take their seats

-in the auditorium...

0:15:370:15:40

-..to watch

-the Southwalians rehearse.

0:15:400:15:43

-Nerves are evident.

0:15:430:15:45

-Wow, they're just so amazing.

0:15:470:15:49

-Everyone is focused,

-everyone's in the moment.

0:15:500:15:53

-That's the most important thing

-we can learn from them.

0:15:540:15:58

-This theatre is huge

-and it'll be a great experience.

0:16:030:16:07

-This will be our biggest gig.

0:16:080:16:10

-We performed at Eirias Park

-but this is different.

0:16:100:16:13

-There's a lot of work to do

-and a lot of waiting around.

0:16:150:16:18

-And more waiting.

0:16:190:16:21

-And more waiting.

0:16:210:16:24

-It's a long day. They need to show

-discipline but they've been good.

0:16:240:16:29

-After a long wait, the Northwalians

-take to the stage...

0:16:320:16:35

-..to rehearse their part

-of the show.

0:16:350:16:38

-You just come in and you snake out.

-Alright?

0:16:390:16:42

-It is a busy day.

-It's a very tight schedule.

0:16:430:16:47

-There's very little time

-to go back and get changed...

0:16:480:16:51

-..and come back for the concert,

-and eat too.

0:16:510:16:54

-It's a little nerve-wracking but...

-Yeah, it's really nerve-wracking.

0:16:580:17:04

-I'm excited to perform

-on such a big stage.

0:17:070:17:10

-An important milestone.

0:17:140:17:17

-A birthday party to celebrate five

-years of unforgettable experiences.

0:17:170:17:22

-For Only Boys Aloud,

-North and South...
