0:02:46 > 0:02:51- The choir is over 40 years old - but how did it all start?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- I'd just finished my A levels at - the secondary school in Tregaron...
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- ..where my music teacher - was Mrs Ethel Jones.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- A friend, Mrs Bet Isaac told me - of the area's choral tradition.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- She thought it was time - to start it again...
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- ..and that I was the person - for the job!
0:03:13 > 0:03:19- I couldn't refuse because she was a - friend of Mam-gu and a great singer.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- At the age of 18, - I decided to start this choir.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Everyone knows my age because - it follows the age of the choir.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- I started it at 18 - and we'd rehearse every Tuesday...
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- ..in the village hall between - Pontrhydygroes and Ysbyty Ystwyth.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48- Our first public performance was - at the annual Trisant Eisteddfod...
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- ..on the last Saturday in September - of that year.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- We have a photograph of that event - which brings back fond memories.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Yes, that takes me back - over a number of years.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- There's been a lot of coming - and going in the last 44 years...
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- ..but we still have four members - from the original choir.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- These photographs - are full of wonderful people.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- I have fond memories about them all.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- I think the fact that we're - a rural choir makes it very special.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- The choir was started - by a group of locals.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- In the 1980s and 1990s, we'd go - to the National Eisteddfod...
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- ..and the bus would stop to pick up - Ifan Pengwernydd, Dic Pen Arthur...
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- ..Crwys Ty'n Rhos, Maldwyn Bwlch, - Dai Alltddu and so on and so on.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- It was a wonderful community - and it's just the same today.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- People say that choirs sing - but enjoy socialising more.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Yes, and it's been like that for us - over the years.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- We've enjoyed the singing - and learnt a lot...
0:05:07 > 0:05:13- ..but we've also been a community - that has laughed and cried together.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- There are times when we've helped - others through the difficult times.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- You touched on the singing so let's - see a clip of you from the 1990s.

0:05:48 > 0:05:54- # Today, we'll hear some new words
0:05:54 > 0:06:00- # And the melodies of a bygone era #
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- That was in 1998 - and I think I was there too!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- What does that say about us, Sian?
0:06:09 > 0:06:09- You've enjoyed a lot of success.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- You've enjoyed a lot of success.- - Yes, we've been very lucky.

0:06:36 > 0:06:41- I think it was very important for us - to support local events...
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- ..especially in the early years.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Unfortunately, the choir - is hanging up its singing books...
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- ..but has an important - final concert.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- All good things come to an end - and everything has a shelf life.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- We've all matured together...
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- ..and realize we cannot stretch - ourselves musically as in the past.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- We close every concert with - our favourite - Yr Anthem Geltaidd.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- Over the years, we've been lucky - to have an array of soloists...

0:10:36 > 0:10:40- No, it wasn't very difficult because - I don't want a lot of things.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- I'm very lucky and I don't need - a lot of things in my life...
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- ..but I do think there's a lot - of unhappiness in the world.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- At Christmas, I think we should - look after the less fortunate.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- My ideal gift would be a huge sack - of money for the charity, Cerebra.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- It's a charity for children - with neurological problems...
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- ..that also helps the families - whilst the child is recovering.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- I've been raising money for Cerebra - during the 3/3/3 challenge...
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- ..and giving something more to the - charity would make me very happy.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Why did you choose that charity?
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- I always support Welsh charities - when I do my challenges.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- I managed to raise 20,000 - for Shelter Cymru.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Cerebra is a very small charity - from Wales...
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- ..who are grateful - for all the support that they get.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- I'm proud to use my running to help - those less fortunate than me.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- I'm also a mother and had - a few issues when I had Gwilym...
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- ..so it's important to help those - in a similar situation.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Your first is a sack of money - for charity.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- The second gift you'd like - is more personal.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Yes, and you need to be selfish - from time to time.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- I recently went to Peru - to work on a documentary.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26- I went to the Andes where I lived - and met people who work in the area.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- This experience was very humbling.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- During this adventure, I looked - after the most incredible animals.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- They are called vicunas.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- They are owned by the king - and it's illegal to kill them.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Their wool is so expensive.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- You're talking - about 10,000 for a scarf!
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- I'd like a hat and scarf.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- I know it's never going to happen.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- I'm out and about all the time - and would love a hat.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- I'm imagining that vicunas - are something like a llama.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- They are the shape of a llama but - their wool is very light and soft.
0:13:19 > 0:13:26- They have massive, beautiful eyes.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- ..where you'll see me help - the villagers to herd the animals.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- They shear these animals.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- I hope you didn't do any shearing - and ruined the fleece!
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- I saw it all happen - and it was a fantastic experience.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- I got to see them being released - back into the wild...
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- ..so they could grow - their coats again.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- You can only shear them - once every three years.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- You've completed a number - of challenges in your time.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Yes, just about!
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- You're facing another challenge - which brings us to your third gift.
0:14:11 > 0:14:17- Yes, it's seven ultra marathons - over seven days in seven continents.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- It is possible - and one man has done it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26- I'd like to be the first woman and - second person to do it in the world.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- You have to run an ultra marathon - and travel to the next continent.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Yes, and an ultra marathon - is anything over 50km.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41- It starts in Antarctica because it's - the most difficult place to reach...
0:14:41 > 0:14:46- ..then fly to South America, - North America, Europe...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- ..Asia and Africa...

0:20:17 > 0:20:21- We're looking forward - to our Christmas dinner now.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Today, we're discussing wine - with Dylan Rowlands.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Welcome to the programme.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- What kind of wines - do you have for us today?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- I have wines for all times of - the day, including with the meal.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- First, I have light wines - to drink before the meal.
0:20:42 > 0:20:48- There is always a debate about - red or white wines with your meal.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54- Turkey is a white meat but you're - also having sausages and bacon.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00- You need a wine with plenty of taste - to compete with those flavours.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06- We always think that white wine goes - with white meat and red with red.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Christmas dinner can be different.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- A little bit of everything.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- What do you have for us?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- This is a French Sauvignon Blanc.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- It's fresh, light and easy to drink.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- You could have it with smoked salmon - before the meal.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- That's what we usually have - for a starter.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Llinos' family always had prawns - before the turkey.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37- That is nice.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- That is nice.- - I like it too.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40- It is very nice.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- It's quite sharp at the end.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- It cuts through a lot.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- There is a bit of elderflower, - gooseberry and lychees.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- It's very light.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- I like it but I don't think I could - drink it throughout the day.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- It's not to my taste.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- It's not too expensive.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- We always want the best - for Christmas Day...
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- ..but it doesn't mean - we have to spend a lot.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- These prices are very reasonable.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- Maybe it's not the right time - to drink the best wines.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- There is so much else going on - and so much food around.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Good wines can get lost - amongst everything else.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- I wanted something - with a stronger taste.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- This is an Australian chardonnay.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- It's a bit out of fashion - these days.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- I don't like chardonnay.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- It is nice, full of flavour - with plenty of oak.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- It's acidic and will cut through - all the fat.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- It's well priced - for an Australian wine.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- I'll stick with the first one.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- I'll stick with the first one.- - I'll take the second!
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- You might not think of red wine - with turkey.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Pinot noir is a grape - that goes with turkey.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- It's not as full bodied - as some other grapes.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- It has some oak in it - and is a Gold Medal winner.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- It's great for the price - of around 8.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- That is reasonable.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- have a bitter aftertaste.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- This is nice and smooth.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- It's acidic and has some tannins.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- You get fruits like strawberries, - raspberries and red currants.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- It will cut through a lot of the fat - in the meal.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- When you say those fruits, - I can taste them!
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- On my own, I wouldn't have a clue!
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- There is some auto suggestion.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Now to a Rioja.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- I like Rioja and there are - so many different types.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- It's quite full bodied - and might not suit a turkey dinner.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- It would suit goose or beef.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- Some people often have - a joint of beef with the turkey.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- It will also go well - with a cheeseboard.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- It's full bodied enough - to go with Stilton.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- It's quite a dark wine.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- There is oak in this one too.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Rioja also tastes of red fruits - like strawberries.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- I really like this one.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- It's nice but heavier.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- It can stand up to the flavour
0:24:53 > 0:25:01- ..and goes well with cheese.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07- Is it hard to find good wines - because so many are quite good?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- I think most wines are quite good.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- 10 for a Rioja Reserva - is great value.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- We've come a long way in 20 years.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- There were only a few reasonable - priced wines back then.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- from all over the globe these days.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- I'll have to write these down.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55- We've covered the starters, - second course, turkey and pudding.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Cheese too, so we're all sorted.
0:25:58 > 0:25:58- Dylan, thank you very much.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Dylan, thank you very much.- - You're welcome.
0:26:01 > 0:26:01- Merry Christmas.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Do you know what's great with wine?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- More wine?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- No, mince pies.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Daf has been finding out - which mince pies are the best.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Mince pies have been around - for 800 years.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- Originally, it was lamb that was - used but things have changed.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- The price has also changed.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- I wonder if the people - of Carmarthen...
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- ..can spot the cheapest - and the most expensive.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Start wherever you want.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- How about the one at the front.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Thank you.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- This one looks quite nice.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- I have something to warm you up.
0:27:02 > 0:27:02- Mince pies.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Mince pies.- - I'm a connoisseur.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- I want you to tell me which is - the cheapest and most expensive.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Right.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- How is that one?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Do you like the filling - or the pastry?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- The filling.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- You look for a good filling.
0:27:25 > 0:27:25- What do you think?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- What do you think?- - It's very nice.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Some wine would be nice!
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- It's only twenty past eleven!
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- This is the second one.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- That's not as nice.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- The filling is better in that one.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- So this has better pastry - and the filling is better here.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- In it goes!
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- I don't have any mulled wine - to wash it down.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- Which one is the cheapest?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Those ones.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Which are the middle priced?

0:28:27 > 0:28:30- These are the most expensive - from M&S.

0:30:36 > 0:30:40- Yes, and it was within our time - of an hour and 30 minutes.
