-I'm 49 years old and I'm obsessed.	0:00:16	0:00:19
-# Some day, some day #	0:00:20	0:00:21
-With pop music.	0:00:22	0:00:23
-The stuff that excites you -as a 12-year-old...	0:00:24	0:00:27
-..and stays with you -in your teens and college years.	0:00:27	0:00:31
-Cheap yet powerful, it makes your -heart race and your head explode.	0:00:31	0:00:36
-It makes you stand up -and scream, laugh or even cry.	0:00:37	0:00:41
-It's the stuff that you should avoid -at all costs...	0:00:45	0:00:50
-..if you're over 25 years old.	0:00:50	0:00:53
-I've spent my life creating music -by playing in bands and as a DJ.	0:00:58	0:01:03
-This is the story of the scene -that changed my life forever.	0:01:03	0:01:08
-The story -of the underground generation.	0:01:09	0:01:12
-The generation -that had nothing to lose.	0:01:12	0:01:16
-They did things -because it was pointless not to.	0:01:16	0:01:19
-The generation -that changed Wales forever.	0:01:20	0:01:23
-# Talk about #	0:01:23	0:01:27
-We always joked in the van -about saving the language.	0:01:28	0:01:31
-It was the start of something new.	0:01:34	0:01:37
-# Talk about #	0:01:37	0:01:40
-Disco beats -with a punk rock attitude.	0:01:41	0:01:43
-I screamed and jumped up and down -on the bed.	0:01:44	0:01:48
-Waargh!	0:01:48	0:01:51
-In 1979, -I was a 14-year-old punk rocker...	0:02:03	0:02:07
-..growing up in the eternal gloom -of the valleys of South-East Wales.	0:02:07	0:02:13
-Sid Vicious is dead. -Maggie Thatcher is Prime Minister.	0:02:13	0:02:17
-The government breaks its promise -to set up a Welsh TV channel.	0:02:17	0:02:22
-National confidence -is at an all-time low.	0:02:22	0:02:25
-Voters rejected devolution -in a referendum on St David's Day.	0:02:25	0:02:30
-The future, my future, looks bleak.	0:02:30	0:02:36
-In terms of politics, -you had Thatcherism.	0:02:36	0:02:39
-It's my personal view...	0:02:40	0:02:42
-..that it cast a black cloud -over our country.	0:02:42	0:02:46
-We were just like -a lot of other people...	0:02:47	0:02:50
-..and fought back against -the selfishness of the Thatcher age.	0:02:50	0:02:54
-Everyone was in it for themselves.	0:02:54	0:02:57
-That's not a community.	0:02:57	0:02:59
-If you'd asked us about Plaid Cymru -in 1979...	0:03:00	0:03:03
-..we'd say that we were anarchists -with no interest in Plaid Cymru!	0:03:03	0:03:08
-Of course I understand...	0:03:09	0:03:11
-..that devolution is better -than everything centred in London.	0:03:11	0:03:17
-I'm sure we understood that -at the time.	0:03:17	0:03:19
-But that wasn't on our radar.	0:03:20	0:03:22
-We wanted to create something new -in Welsh and in Wales.	0:03:22	0:03:25
-Devolution was irrelevant.	0:03:26	0:03:28
-Since the 1960s, Welsh pop -has been a political animal.	0:03:30	0:03:34
-The sound epitomized the protests...	0:03:34	0:03:37
-..from Trefechan Bridge -to the Investiture.	0:03:37	0:03:40
-Despite its radical, -revolutionary objectives...	0:03:40	0:03:44
-..it sounded middle-of-the-road -and light ent to my young ears.	0:03:44	0:03:50
-# Rock 'n roll #	0:03:50	0:03:53
-I liked Edward H.	0:03:53	0:03:55
-I was a really big fan.	0:03:55	0:03:57
-It's hard not to be -when you are five, six or seven.	0:03:57	0:04:01
-It was really catchy.	0:04:01	0:04:03
-Later, I realized how much of it -they had ripped off.	0:04:04	0:04:07
-Not just rip-offs -but pure plagiarism.	0:04:07	0:04:10
-I probably liked them -as I'd heard them before!	0:04:11	0:04:14
-We weren't getting the music -we wanted to hear at gigs.	0:04:14	0:04:18
-It sounded old-fashioned...	0:04:18	0:04:20
-..but we ourselves were dated -compared to the scene in England.	0:04:21	0:04:26
-# Yeah, into the caff I go	0:04:26	0:04:28
-# Sausage, beans and chips! #	0:04:28	0:04:31
-If you want something -more interesting...	0:04:32	0:04:35
-..do it yourself or just shut up!	0:04:36	0:04:38
-Llygod Ffyrnig and Trwynau Coch's -punk records were my salvation.	0:04:39	0:04:43
-But the song that got everyone -dancing at discos...	0:04:44	0:04:47
-..was from the new album -by Geraint Jarman a'r Cynganeddwyr.	0:04:47	0:04:52
-# And they dance to the harp	0:04:52	0:04:55
-# Hotel Wales	0:04:57	0:04:58
-# Nobody pays	0:04:59	0:05:01
-# But everyone's buying #	0:05:02	0:05:04
-The aim of Welsh pop music...	0:05:05	0:05:09
-..in my view and of many others, -is to normalize life.	0:05:09	0:05:14
-To do something in Welsh -that is normal.	0:05:14	0:05:17
-It means that people -can go out in the evening...	0:05:17	0:05:21
-..and enjoy something of quality.	0:05:21	0:05:24
-It grows and grows -and people start talking about it.	0:05:24	0:05:29
-Jarman is the godfather of the Welsh -scene that will grow in the 1980s...	0:05:30	0:05:36
-..and flourish -before the end of the century.	0:05:36	0:05:40
-Sex, politics and attitude...	0:05:40	0:05:42
-..wrapped in a perfect parcel -of post-punk paranoia.	0:05:43	0:05:47
-I'm hooked!	0:05:47	0:05:49
-I was singing with friends -when we heard that Geraint Jarman...	0:05:53	0:05:58
-..would judge a competition -for young Welsh bands on BBC Cymru.	0:05:58	0:06:03
-Jarman!	0:06:04	0:06:05
-That's like Joe Strummer or John -Lennon judging on The X Factor!	0:06:05	0:06:09
-"Practice posing in the mirror," -said our drummer.	0:06:09	0:06:13
-"We'll jam in the Mormon church -on Friday!"	0:06:13	0:06:16
-# She sleeps when the radio stops	0:06:18	0:06:21
-# Mam has locked herself -in the house	0:06:27	0:06:30
-# She has to sit in the corner -all day	0:06:30	0:06:33
-# But her mind has flown #	0:06:33	0:06:36
-We definitely didn't form -Clustiau Cwn to change the world...	0:06:36	0:06:42
-..but I'm sure -the 14-year-old Gareth...	0:06:42	0:06:45
-..realized that things -weren't right in Wales.	0:06:46	0:06:49
-I was young, cocky -and saw an opportunity.	0:06:49	0:06:52
-Somehow, our attitude -won us the competition.	0:06:53	0:06:57
-I was going to be a rock star!	0:06:58	0:07:00
-# He gazes at the corner -but Mam doesn't notice	0:07:01	0:07:04
-# She says that her mind is rotten	0:07:04	0:07:06
-# She lives in the radio, -thinks in the radio	0:07:06	0:07:09
-# Laughs in the radio, -cries in the radio #	0:07:10	0:07:12
-By the start of 1980, -we'd recorded a single with Sain.	0:07:13	0:07:17
-At the same time, -bands I hadn't heard of yet...	0:07:18	0:07:22
-..were forming and writing fanzines -full of ideas and audacity.	0:07:22	0:07:28
-These magazines -promoted the young and new...	0:07:28	0:07:31
-..and stuck two fingers up -at the old and boring.	0:07:31	0:07:36
-I hated them so much.	0:07:36	0:07:38
-You had to poke fun at them.	0:07:38	0:07:41
-So we started writing fanzines.	0:07:41	0:07:44
-I hated the way -they sang with an American accent.	0:07:45	0:07:49
-They were trying to be -big pop stars...	0:07:49	0:07:52
-..instead of being natural.	0:07:53	0:07:55
-# Rosaline, wearing tight trousers #	0:07:55	0:07:58
-It was how we got rid -of our deep-rooted rage.	0:07:59	0:08:03
-We had to do something!	0:08:04	0:08:05
-# Angela, reading news #	0:08:06	0:08:07
-Nothing much appealed -on the Radio Cymru playlist...	0:08:08	0:08:11
-..but one late-night programme -on Radio 1 always hit the spot.	0:08:12	0:08:16
-# Angela, with your oriental eyes #	0:08:17	0:08:19
-I was at home in Llanfair Caereinion -and heard John Peel.	0:08:20	0:08:24
-"Here's a band from Wales -called The Trwyni Cock with Angela."	0:08:24	0:08:28
-If a band could do this in Welsh, -I thought anything was possible.	0:08:29	0:08:35
-When punk was born, -we knew that we needed it in Welsh.	0:08:35	0:08:40
-We started our journey -of writing fanzines.	0:08:40	0:08:44
-It happened through John Peel.	0:08:44	0:08:46
-# Aargh!	0:08:48	0:08:49
-# Wa! Wa! #	0:08:50	0:08:51
-Every day was boring.	0:08:51	0:08:53
-You went to school and did -what the teachers asked you to do...	0:08:53	0:08:59
-..and you just felt bored.	0:08:59	0:09:02
-I wanted to do something -that would change things.	0:09:03	0:09:07
-Clustiau Cwn still gig around Wales -every chance we get.	0:09:08	0:09:14
-In the autumn, we were asked to play -at the inter-university dance...	0:09:14	0:09:19
-..one of the biggest gigs -in Welsh rock.	0:09:19	0:09:21
-We were supporting -Geraint Jarman a'r Cynganeddwyr...	0:09:22	0:09:25
-..in Aberystwyth's Great Hall.	0:09:26	0:09:28
-While the rest of the band -go to look for girls...	0:09:34	0:09:38
-..I make myself at home backstage...	0:09:38	0:09:41
-..and make friends with Neil White -and Tich Gwilym from Y Cynganeddwyr.	0:09:41	0:09:46
-There's also an archaeology student -from Cardiff University called Rhys.	0:09:46	0:09:52
-You can have the leaflets for free!	0:09:53	0:09:55
-Punk changes you politically.	0:09:55	0:09:58
-In the very late 1970s -and early 1980s...	0:09:58	0:10:02
-..a scene develops -across Britain and Europe.	0:10:02	0:10:06
-People were releasing stuff -on cassettes.	0:10:06	0:10:10
-We shared music on cassette -and info in our Xerox fanzines.	0:10:11	0:10:14
-We don't need Radio Cymru, -old farts and farmers!	0:10:15	0:10:19
-Cassettes were very democratic -at that time.	0:10:21	0:10:27
-You only needed a tape recorder...	0:10:27	0:10:29
-..to tape you and your friends -messing about with songs.	0:10:30	0:10:33
-It was a means for us -to get our stuff out there.	0:10:35	0:10:39
-Rhys interviews me for his fanzine.	0:10:40	0:10:42
-He views the Welsh scene -as something introverted and poor.	0:10:43	0:10:47
-Things need to be shaken up -and changed.	0:10:47	0:10:50
-His brother, Sion Sebon, -has started a punk band.	0:10:50	0:10:54
-He gives me a cassette.	0:10:54	0:10:57
-Bingo!	0:11:00	0:11:01
-Sion Sebon and I -went to meet Dave in Cardigan.	0:11:02	0:11:06
-We met on the bandstand in Cardigan.	0:11:06	0:11:09
-And it was during that afternoon...	0:11:09	0:11:13
-..that we realized that we could -work together and create a scene.	0:11:13	0:11:18
-We knew that everything else was -rubbish and needed to be changed.	0:11:18	0:11:23
-It was like the Magnificent Seven -and Dave was the first.	0:11:23	0:11:27
-A network gradually grew -away from the media spotlight.	0:11:28	0:11:32
-It was populated by provocative -characters such as Rhys Mwyn.	0:11:33	0:11:37
-The cassette was my passport -out of boredom...	0:11:37	0:11:41
-..and into the future.	0:11:42	0:11:44
-# The battles of space -are coming closer #	0:11:45	0:11:49

-..Rhys Mwyn invites me to a gig -that I can't afford to miss.	0:12:31	0:12:36
-Full of enthusiasm, I form -a brand-new experimental band...	0:12:41	0:12:45
-..called Y Pry Bach Tew.	0:12:45	0:12:47
-Unfortunately, or fortunately, -as some would have it...	0:12:48	0:12:52
-..all our tapes have been lost -in the depths of time.	0:12:53	0:12:56
-Gwyl Tanddaearol Cymru -in Llanfair Caereinion.	0:12:58	0:13:03
-The underground festival of Wales, -held here in 1981.	0:13:06	0:13:10
-This revolution wasn't televised...	0:13:11	0:13:14
-..but this shambolic event was away -from the prying eyes of the media...	0:13:14	0:13:19
-..and was the most important gig -of the year for Welsh culture.	0:13:20	0:13:25
-# The one in the kitchen -is dancing all day	0:13:31	0:13:34
-# The other has let him watch her #	0:13:34	0:13:37
-Ail Symudiad, Yr Anhrefn -and Chwarter I Un were also playing.	0:13:38	0:13:44
-We were unbearably bad, of course, -but there was a feeling in the air.	0:13:44	0:13:50
-A creative crowd who didn't want -grants or sponsorship from councils.	0:13:50	0:13:56
-The ethic was DIY. Just do it!	0:13:56	0:14:00
-If it failed, -fail again but fail better!	0:14:00	0:14:04
-You've got to do something -when you have enthusiasm.	0:14:05	0:14:09
-If you don't have the money for -the right producer and engineer...	0:14:09	0:14:14
-..then you won't do it.	0:14:14	0:14:16
-It's the only way to do it...	0:14:16	0:14:18
-..if you want it -but don't have the money.	0:14:18	0:14:21
-Yes, you just do it.	0:14:21	0:14:23
-We were just an acoustic guitar, -snare drum and a keyboard.	0:14:23	0:14:28
-We felt that it was -a much better sound...	0:14:28	0:14:31
-..than anything that other people -were creating at the time.	0:14:32	0:14:36
-# Wasting your time again #	0:14:37	0:14:42
-You have to create events.	0:14:42	0:14:44
-Yes, it was an underground thing...	0:14:44	0:14:47
-..but we also wanted -to give bands a platform.	0:14:47	0:14:51
-I'm almost contradicting myself.	0:14:52	0:14:54
-We shunned the Welsh scene -and yet we wanted to change it.	0:14:55	0:15:00
-Every day, I sat with Mark Lugg -on the school bus.	0:15:05	0:15:08
-We were the only ones -who spoke Welsh...	0:15:09	0:15:11
-..and we chatted -about John Peel's programme.	0:15:12	0:15:15
-It was a natural step -to form a band.	0:15:15	0:15:17
-Traddodiad Ofnus aimed to push -Welsh rock to the extremes.	0:15:18	0:15:22
-# Give us the chance -to rock the world	0:15:22	0:15:25
-# And it might become faith #	0:15:26	0:15:28
-Our aim was to smash the old system -and replace it with something noisy.	0:15:28	0:15:34
-We were totally fed up -with the crap Welsh music...	0:15:34	0:15:38
-..that had been hanging around -since the 1970s.	0:15:38	0:15:42
-# I don't want to explode #	0:15:43	0:15:45
-RHYTHMIC TAPPING	0:15:45	0:15:47
-After a guerrilla raid on the rock -sessions at Lampeter Eisteddfod...	0:15:48	0:15:52
-..where we meet -Datblygu and Y Cyrff...	0:15:53	0:15:56
-..we decide to enter the studio to -record our raucous fun on cassette.	0:15:56	0:16:02
-Free instruments.	0:16:02	0:16:04
-That was the best thing -about Traddodiad Ofnus.	0:16:04	0:16:07
-We didn't have any money -for instruments...	0:16:08	0:16:11
-..so we thought about places -where everything was cheap.	0:16:11	0:16:15
-Scrapyards! -Let's go to scrapyards!	0:16:15	0:16:17
-You get loads in scrapyards -for bugger all of money...	0:16:18	0:16:21
-..and they make an amazing sound.	0:16:21	0:16:24
-My mind is set on revolution.	0:16:24	0:16:27
-Traddodiad Ofnus -is going to save our culture.	0:16:27	0:16:32
-I meet Rhys in London to give him -a cassette of our new music.	0:16:33	0:16:37
-He produces a vinyl album -from his bag.	0:16:37	0:16:40
-He'd started a record label.	0:16:40	0:16:42
-Are the days -of the cassette numbered?	0:16:42	0:16:44
-Cam O'r Tywyllwch is the -most important album of the 1980s.	0:16:48	0:16:53
-These bands mattered.	0:16:54	0:16:56
-Y Cyrff, Datblygu, -Tynnal Tywyll and Elfyn Presli...	0:16:56	0:17:00
-..were all in one place.	0:17:01	0:17:02
-The cassettes had done their job.	0:17:03	0:17:05
-It was time for the underground -scene to stop hiding...	0:17:06	0:17:10
-..and stand up -to challenge the Welsh status quo.	0:17:10	0:17:13
-# Forget time	0:17:14	0:17:17
-# The feeling that makes you think #	0:17:18	0:17:20
-At the end of 1984, we were going -to make a single with Yr Anhrefn.	0:17:21	0:17:25
-But Tynnal Tywyll, Y Cyrff, Elfyn -Presli and Machlud had all formed...	0:17:25	0:17:31
-..so our idea of making -a single with Yr Anhrefn...	0:17:31	0:17:36
-..turned into a 12-inch LP!	0:17:36	0:17:39
-It's interesting that when -we were making Cam O'r Tywyllwch...	0:17:39	0:17:44
-..I think everyone knew -what we were trying to do.	0:17:44	0:17:48
-It was a good time in the studio.	0:17:48	0:17:50
-I remember when we got -those 12-inch vinyls back...	0:17:50	0:17:55
-..and put the needle in the groove.	0:17:56	0:17:58
-I felt like The Beatles...	0:17:58	0:18:00
-..The Fall or The Rolling Stones, -Joy Division or New Order.	0:18:00	0:18:05
-We were up there with them.	0:18:05	0:18:07
-It's the greatest feeling to have -your own music on a piece of vinyl.	0:18:07	0:18:13
-It doesn't happen any more.	0:18:13	0:18:15
-When I got it home...	0:18:15	0:18:17
-..I think I just stared at it -for hours.	0:18:17	0:18:22
-# It's a tradition like us -that lies in the future #	0:18:23	0:18:29
-Shortly after Cam O'r Tywyllwch...	0:18:29	0:18:31
-..Anhrefn Records -released their second compilation.	0:18:31	0:18:35
-Traddodiad Ofnus had tracks -on Gadael Yr Ugeinfed Ganrif.	0:18:36	0:18:40
-We shared a record sleeve -with so many superb people.	0:18:42	0:18:48
-It made us feel -that we did exist within the scene.	0:18:48	0:18:52
-If you look at the two compilations -by Anhrefn Records....	0:18:54	0:18:58
-..there are big differences -between the music of Y Cyrff...	0:18:59	0:19:04
-..Igam Ogam and Datblygu.	0:19:04	0:19:06
-The attitude was important.	0:19:06	0:19:09
-# Oh, no, -think about the important things #	0:19:15	0:19:21
-I was listening to John Peel...	0:19:21	0:19:25
-..and he said, "It's Datblygu!"	0:19:25	0:19:28
-I screamed, jumped up and down -on the bed and woke the family.	0:19:28	0:19:34
-Fans of new, contemporary music -listened to John Peel's show.	0:19:36	0:19:41
-Now, he had given -his seal of approval to Welsh music.	0:19:42	0:19:45
-He often played tracks because they -were being ignored by Radio Cymru.	0:19:46	0:19:52
-Somebody sent me the compilation LPs -of Welsh-language bands...	0:19:53	0:19:58
-..which were very rough and ready -and primitive.	0:19:58	0:20:02
-I liked the kind of atmosphere -and they weren't all terrific.	0:20:02	0:20:06
-If I had to hum one of the tunes, -I'd be in real trouble.	0:20:06	0:20:10
-They introduced me to the generality -of Welsh-language music...	0:20:10	0:20:14
-..rather than things -specifically on their label.	0:20:15	0:20:18
-They were Cyrff and Datblygu, -who I liked a lot...	0:20:18	0:20:21
-..and who did some sessions -which were really good.	0:20:22	0:20:25
-Rhys went straight for the jugular.	0:20:26	0:20:30
-He went to John Peel...	0:20:30	0:20:32
-..and told him that he had -to listen to us and Yr Anhrefn.	0:20:32	0:20:37
-Both Yr Anhrefn and us did sessions -and it paved the way for others.	0:20:37	0:20:43
-And the rest is history!	0:20:43	0:20:45
-By the mid 1990s, Datblygu recorded -more sessions for John Peel...	0:20:50	0:20:55
-..than T Rex, Roxy Music -and Joy Division.	0:20:55	0:20:59
-There was a huge demand for this -new music among young listeners.	0:21:00	0:21:05
-There didn't seem to be a gap -between the bands and the fans.	0:21:05	0:21:10
-Everyone felt involved.	0:21:10	0:21:13
-The gigs and record fairs are full -of people who are either in bands...	0:21:13	0:21:17
-..selling magazines and fanzines -or starting new indie labels.	0:21:18	0:21:22
-It's spelt nicely as Ffa Coffi Pawb.	0:21:22	0:21:27
-In 1982, after protests -by Cymdeithas yr Iaith...	0:21:30	0:21:34
-..and Gwynfor Evans's threat -of a hunger strike...	0:21:34	0:21:37
-..S4C starts broadcasting.	0:21:37	0:21:40
-By 1987, the godfather, Geraint -Jarman, has moved into television.	0:21:40	0:21:46
-Criw Byw -and their programme Fideo Naw...	0:21:47	0:21:50
-..transforms the way pop music -is covered by S4C.	0:21:50	0:21:55
-I stopped singing...	0:21:55	0:21:58
-..and looked at -what was happening...	0:21:58	0:22:01
-..to see what I could do next.	0:22:01	0:22:05
-Once you broaden your horizons, -you see how to create things.	0:22:06	0:22:11
-"As night fell, he came to them."	0:22:11	0:22:15
-With sharp, unique presenters -such as Eddie Ladd...	0:22:15	0:22:19
-..it was essential viewing.	0:22:19	0:22:21
-But did Fideo Naw -reflect the scene or sustain it?	0:22:21	0:22:27
-I heard that a lot.	0:22:28	0:22:29
-People wondered if Fideo Naw -was sustaining the scene.	0:22:29	0:22:33
-Fideo Naw argued that we merely -represented an existing scene.	0:22:34	0:22:39
-Once you put a camera in a room...	0:22:40	0:22:42
-..it's a focus for the scene -and you create something for it.	0:22:42	0:22:46
-That programme is responsible...	0:22:48	0:22:50
-..for a lot of the things -that followed.	0:22:50	0:22:53
-It was a training ground -for bands...	0:22:53	0:22:56
-..to use and visit -a professional studio.	0:22:56	0:23:00
-And out of it came Gorky's...	0:23:00	0:23:04
-..Ffa Coffi Pawb...	0:23:04	0:23:07
-..as well as Catatonia.	0:23:07	0:23:10
-A lot of bands were helped...	0:23:10	0:23:13
-..through having that experience.	0:23:14	0:23:16
-# Her name is Blodwen	0:23:17	0:23:20
-# She's more beautiful -than the white lily #	0:23:21	0:23:24
-I'd say, "I want to be Gruff Rhys. -His hair is so cool."	0:23:25	0:23:29
-They were proper pop stars. -They behaved like pop stars.	0:23:29	0:23:33
-Tynnal Tywyll's Ian Morris -was most like a pop star.	0:23:33	0:23:37
-# The 1970s records are on the floor	0:23:37	0:23:41
-# Eisteddfod, Eisteddfod #	0:23:41	0:23:45
-He is the best frontman ever.	0:23:45	0:23:47
-Girls screamed for him -and boys, I suppose.	0:23:47	0:23:51
-Fideo Naw -took the new generation seriously.	0:23:53	0:23:57
-We got paid fairly and got to use -a proper recording studio.	0:23:57	0:24:01
-I call it financial irrigation.	0:24:02	0:24:04
-It comes without moral pressure -on how to spend the money.	0:24:05	0:24:10
-You can use it on equipment -or to pay for a recording session.	0:24:10	0:24:16
-One telly gig paid more -than doing a paper round all summer.	0:24:16	0:24:22
-Fideo Naw came along...	0:24:26	0:24:29
-..and was a great help -to our live and studio performances.	0:24:29	0:24:35
-You were proficient, I suppose...	0:24:35	0:24:38
-..by the time you got out -into the big, bad world.	0:24:38	0:24:42
-# You're under his skin -and turning but why? #	0:24:42	0:24:46
-The programme showcased the scene.	0:24:46	0:24:49
-The scene produced material -for the programme.	0:24:49	0:24:53
-It was a circle.	0:24:53	0:24:54
-It turned like a whirlpool -or maybe a whirlwind.	0:24:54	0:24:59
-We're not in Kansas any more!	0:24:59	0:25:02
-# I turn to someone better than me -who's just like you #	0:25:02	0:25:07
-Every band -who appeared on the programme...	0:25:07	0:25:11
-..could take their track -and record it in a studio...	0:25:11	0:25:15
-..and they were allowed -to take that track...	0:25:16	0:25:19
-..and put it on CD, -cassette or vinyl.	0:25:20	0:25:24
-Some college friends -turned their cassette label...	0:25:24	0:25:28
-..from a university hobby -to something ambitious.	0:25:28	0:25:32
-Ankst was at the centre -of this exciting period...	0:25:32	0:25:37
-..releasing material -from the new stars of the scene.	0:25:37	0:25:41
-Beganifs, Y Gwefrau, Tynnal Tywyll -and Ffa Coffi Pawb.	0:25:41	0:25:45
-# I've gone down and I feel bad #	0:25:45	0:25:49
-It started as a laugh or a hobby.	0:25:50	0:25:52
-It was like a big snowball -that just kept rolling.	0:25:53	0:25:56
-We got more bands, got excited -about what we could achieve...	0:25:56	0:26:00
-..and never got a proper job!	0:26:01	0:26:03
-# I've left -and the mountain is closed #	0:26:03	0:26:06
-It wasn't a genre or a movement.	0:26:08	0:26:11
-It was more about the attitude, -which is probably much healthier.	0:26:12	0:26:16
-All the bands that followed, -the ones in the next wave...	0:26:17	0:26:21
-..were different bands -with different music and styles.	0:26:21	0:26:25
-They maintained -that healthy outlook on music.	0:26:25	0:26:29
-They weren't blinkered by genre.	0:26:29	0:26:31
-I'm 23 and about to tour Germany -to promote a new album and 12-inch.	0:26:34	0:26:40
-Things are about to get very -interesting for Traddodiad Ofnus.	0:26:40	0:26:44
-But there's a clash -about the band's direction...	0:26:45	0:26:48
-..and some want to drop -our guitarist, my flatmate.	0:26:48	0:26:52
-I disagree and decide to leave.	0:26:52	0:26:55
-This was becoming a habit.	0:27:02	0:27:05

-Subtitles - -Subtitles	0:27:10	0:27:12
-It's the end of the 1980s -and everything is changing.	0:27:15	0:27:19
-Politics, technology, -communication, drugs, music.	0:27:19	0:27:23
-The future has arrived.	0:27:23	0:27:25
-What's that stuff coming out of it?	0:27:26	0:27:27
-What's that stuff coming out of it? - -It's acid or something.	0:27:27	0:27:28
-Acid? Goodness me!	0:27:28	0:27:30
-Cassettes had helped us -expand underground...	0:27:33	0:27:36
-..and vinyl had spread our message.	0:27:36	0:27:38
-We had to step into the digital age -and embrace this new revolution.	0:27:39	0:27:44
-I was living in Manchester....	0:27:47	0:27:50
-..and the whole rave scene -was incredibly influential.	0:27:50	0:27:55
-Everything changed.	0:27:55	0:27:57
-You'd put a dance beat -over the sound of a car engine.	0:27:57	0:28:01
-We've had nothing like it since.	0:28:01	0:28:05
-You had punk before it.	0:28:05	0:28:07
-I'd started recording -as Pop Negatif Wastad...	0:28:08	0:28:11
-..in an Anglesey studio -with Esyllt from Crisialau Plastig.	0:28:11	0:28:16
-We wanted to make pop music that had -never been heard before in Wales.	0:28:16	0:28:21
-Modern pop -that had underground roots.	0:28:21	0:28:25
-# It's fine, it's fine -it's always fine #	0:28:25	0:28:29
-By the time Central Slate released -our record in August 1989...	0:28:32	0:28:37
-..we had disbanded -without performing a live gig.	0:28:37	0:28:40
-Pop Negatif Wastad was a carcass -on the beach at Rhosneigr.	0:28:41	0:28:46
-# Talk about	0:28:46	0:28:50
-# Wales, England and Llanrwst #	0:28:51	0:28:56
-Our record wasn't the song -of the summer that year.	0:28:59	0:29:03
-That honour went to Y Cyrff.	0:29:03	0:29:05
-Cymru, Lloegr A Llanrwst -is a strong, excellent anthem.	0:29:05	0:29:09
-They shot to the top -as Wales's most popular group.	0:29:09	0:29:13
-The Cam O'r Tywyllwch generation -had taken the reins.	0:29:13	0:29:18
-# It's the only time -I never feel restless #	0:29:19	0:29:24
-Despite personal setbacks, -I'm not ready to stop.	0:29:25	0:29:29
-I've come too far and I'm obsessed.	0:29:29	0:29:32
-I record a demo -under the name of Ty Gwydr...	0:29:32	0:29:35
-..and send copies -to Lugg, Criw Byw and Ankst.	0:29:35	0:29:39
-The digital experiments -of the underground scene...	0:29:41	0:29:44
-..made non-Welsh speakers -sit up and take notice.	0:29:45	0:29:48
-NME and Melody Maker...	0:29:48	0:29:50
-..boosted the confidence -of those in the Welsh scene.	0:29:51	0:29:55
-It was brilliant as Gareth came -out of nowhere with this track...	0:29:55	0:29:59
-..and asked me to be a part of it.	0:30:00	0:30:02
-It amplified the electronic world.	0:30:03	0:30:06
-# My feet on the pavement -of the big city	0:30:06	0:30:09
-# Looking up and looking down	0:30:09	0:30:11
-# Look at the crowd -and the cars on the street	0:30:11	0:30:14
-# I could be -in any town in the world	0:30:15	0:30:17
-# Amid the chaos of the buildings	0:30:17	0:30:20
-# Amid the commotion, -the confusion and pain	0:30:21	0:30:23
-# Wandering, searching for a sign	0:30:24	0:30:26
-# A familiar face puts me at ease #	0:30:26	0:30:28
-We had to change musically.	0:30:28	0:30:30
-What was the point -in repeating ourselves?	0:30:31	0:30:34
-Once again, our aim was to push -the boundaries of Welsh pop music.	0:30:34	0:30:39
-Change its flavour -and reinforce the Welsh language.	0:30:39	0:30:43
-# Some day, some day	0:30:43	0:30:45
-# We can walk freely	0:30:46	0:30:50
-# Some day, some day	0:30:51	0:30:53
-# We can walk freely -and keep our faith #	0:30:54	0:30:58
-With strobe lighting, a smoke -machine and a pair of decks...	0:30:59	0:31:03
-..a village hall, rugby club, -a back room in a pub or shed...	0:31:03	0:31:07
-..could be transformed -into a temporary nightclub.	0:31:07	0:31:11
-For Lugg and me, -it extended the DIY punk culture...	0:31:11	0:31:15
-..and techno music embodied -the new face of the underground.	0:31:15	0:31:20
-But this movement -was more than just music.	0:31:24	0:31:27
-A group of performers and fans -chose to show their support...	0:31:27	0:31:32
-..for the political acts -of Cymdeithas yr Iaith.	0:31:33	0:31:37
-Alun Llwyd ran Ankst and was also -chairman of Cymdeithas yr Iaith.	0:31:37	0:31:42
-His role -in the property act campaign...	0:31:42	0:31:45
-..saw him and Branwen Niclas -imprisoned for a year.	0:31:45	0:31:49
-There was my time in jail -and with Cymdeithas yr Iaith.	0:31:50	0:31:54
-I didn't take the decision -to go to jail lightly...	0:31:55	0:31:58
-..and spoke to Emyr -and Gruffudd about it.	0:31:59	0:32:01
-I knew I could be away from work...	0:32:02	0:32:05
-..for three months to a year, -depending on my sentence.	0:32:05	0:32:09
-At that same time, Ankst -was releasing compilation albums...	0:32:09	0:32:14
-..such as Ap Elvis and Hen Wlad Fy -Nhadau which were quite political.	0:32:14	0:32:19
-My work -with the property act campaign...	0:32:19	0:32:22
-..went hand in hand -with my work at Ankst.	0:32:23	0:32:25
-Thankfully, Gruffudd and Emyr -took the same viewpoint.	0:32:26	0:32:29
-But it was an exciting time...	0:32:30	0:32:32
-..because of the gathering -of a number of bands.	0:32:32	0:32:36
-It wasn't a celebration -of our release...	0:32:36	0:32:39
-..but our imprisonment -and stance within the campaign.	0:32:39	0:32:43
-December saw the Rhyw Ddydd -Un Dydd gig at Pontrhydfendigaid...	0:32:44	0:32:49
-..to welcome Branwen Niclas -and Alun Llwyd on their release.	0:32:49	0:32:54
-It was great to see their release.	0:32:55	0:32:57
-I was there and watched them -walk out of prison...	0:32:57	0:33:01
-..so it was great -when we did the gig.	0:33:01	0:33:03
-There must have been 2,000 people.	0:33:04	0:33:07
-They were our age and probably -in their forties and fifties now.	0:33:07	0:33:12
-I can't remember a thing about it -and that isn't because of drink.	0:33:13	0:33:18
-I think the whole emotion -of the event...	0:33:18	0:33:21
-..and realization -of what was happening...	0:33:22	0:33:25
-..was too much -and I couldn't deal with it.	0:33:25	0:33:28
-The excitement of being -a part of it was unforgettable...	0:33:29	0:33:33
-..even though I can't remember it!	0:33:33	0:33:36
-# Your	0:33:36	0:33:39
-# Reward	0:33:40	0:33:42
-# Is in heaven	0:33:43	0:33:46
-# So believe in life	0:33:46	0:33:47
-# And believe in sex #	0:33:48	0:33:50
-The line up includes -a real cross-section of talent.	0:33:50	0:33:54
-Fflaps, Y Beganifs, -Jess, Meic Stevens...	0:33:54	0:33:57
-..and loads of other bands -and soloists.	0:33:58	0:34:01
-The atmosphere -is one of celebration.	0:34:01	0:34:04
-One nation in the groove.	0:34:05	0:34:07
-But one prominent name is absent.	0:34:07	0:34:11
-# So believe in life -and believe in sex #	0:34:11	0:34:14
-Luckily, I was abroad at the time.	0:34:14	0:34:17
-I was in Thailand so I wasn't there.	0:34:17	0:34:20
-I'm sure Huw Gwyn phoned Sion Sebon -and asked him to do a solo act....	0:34:20	0:34:26
-..but Sion would never have done it.	0:34:26	0:34:29
-Yr Anhrefn wouldn't have done it.	0:34:29	0:34:32
-It was like the Welsh equivalent -of a Royal Command Performance.	0:34:32	0:34:36
-It was everything we were not.	0:34:36	0:34:39
-For me personally...	0:34:39	0:34:42
-..the thing that happens -when you reach that point...	0:34:42	0:34:46
-..is something that I call -the mutual appreciation society.	0:34:46	0:34:52
-That's how I see it with Ankst.	0:34:53	0:34:55
-Once they're in, it's all about -being friends, liking each other...	0:34:56	0:35:00
-..going to gigs, headlining -at the Eisteddfod and that's it.	0:35:00	0:35:05
-You've got to have one band -that isn't in that Welsh bubble...	0:35:05	0:35:10
-..or in Cymdeithas yr Iaith...	0:35:10	0:35:12
-..or everyone ends up -doing the same thing.	0:35:12	0:35:17
-Rhyw Ddydd Un Dydd proved -that there were enough people...	0:35:19	0:35:24
-..to hold huge celebrations -on the scene.	0:35:24	0:35:27
-It became a memorable event -in the history of Welsh pop music.	0:35:28	0:35:32
-There was change in the air.	0:35:41	0:35:43
-One period was ending -and a new era was dawning.	0:35:43	0:35:47
-At the end of the 1980s -and start of the 1990s...	0:35:50	0:35:53
-..those in the underground scene -were playing their swansongs.	0:35:54	0:36:00
-The Welsh language spattered out -on unexpected stages.	0:36:01	0:36:07
-Since the late 1980s, -Yr Anhrefn, Fflaps and others...	0:36:07	0:36:11
-..travelled deeper into Europe -past the limits of the old East.	0:36:11	0:36:16
-They often slept on fans' floors -or in vans.	0:36:17	0:36:20
-With Yr Anhrefn, -we reached a point...	0:36:23	0:36:26
-..where our only option -was to try and succeed as a band.	0:36:27	0:36:31
-It was better to visit more -countries and get more airplay...	0:36:31	0:36:35
-..but we refused to sing -in any language other than Welsh.	0:36:36	0:36:40
-I tried going to college -but failed miserably.	0:36:52	0:36:57
-I quit a few times and ended up on -tour with Yr Anhrefn for two years.	0:36:57	0:37:03
-It was all very exciting.	0:37:04	0:37:06
-Regardless of the music, -it was the whole vibe.	0:37:07	0:37:10
-We had a great time -performing in Berlin or Prague...	0:37:12	0:37:16
-..so we'd stopped -being part of the Welsh scene.	0:37:16	0:37:20
-Those years, -when we were doing our tours...	0:37:20	0:37:25
-..and disconnected from Wales, -were really odd.	0:37:25	0:37:30
-# The day will come #	0:37:31	0:37:33
-Our last gig was in Czechoslovakia -in a Hell's Angels club.	0:37:33	0:37:37
-It looked set to be a disaster.	0:37:38	0:37:40
-We had to do a cover of LA Woman -by The Doors just to get out alive!	0:37:40	0:37:45
-# Assists the vision	0:37:45	0:37:49
-# We'll rewrite the history books #	0:37:49	0:37:52
-Looking back...	0:37:52	0:37:54
-..I think we played -in the same old places.	0:37:54	0:37:58
-At the time, we felt like -there was nowhere left to go...	0:37:59	0:38:02
-..by singing in Welsh.	0:38:03	0:38:04
-We never thought -of singing in English with Y Cyrff.	0:38:04	0:38:08
-We just never had that conversation.	0:38:08	0:38:11
-It probably just felt wrong -to do that.	0:38:12	0:38:15
-It just felt -like the right time to stop.	0:38:17	0:38:19
-Y Cyrff, Ffa Coffi Pawb, -Yr Anhrefn...	0:38:20	0:38:23
-..and many bands with underground -roots found their natural end.	0:38:23	0:38:28
-# Long life! Long life! Turn away! #	0:38:29	0:38:33
-By the summer of 1992...	0:38:34	0:38:36
-..Reu club nights -by Ty Gwydr were legendary.	0:38:37	0:38:40
-We decided to organize one last -massive night in Pontrhydfendigaid.	0:38:40	0:38:46
-# Mathematics, engineering, -Reu, technology	0:38:46	0:38:49
-# Mathematics, engineering, -Reu, technology	0:38:49	0:38:52
-# Mathematics, engineering #	0:38:53	0:38:55
-I'm standing, -DJ'ing on the side of the stage.	0:38:55	0:38:58
-The crowd is going mental.	0:38:58	0:39:00
-Dave Datblygu -gives me a massive hug.	0:39:00	0:39:03
-"We created this," he said.	0:39:04	0:39:06
-"This is our time.	0:39:06	0:39:08
-"Here. Now."	0:39:08	0:39:10
-And in that instant...	0:39:16	0:39:17
-..we'd stopped -being underground and alternative...	0:39:18	0:39:22
-..and moved into the mainstream.	0:39:22	0:39:25
-What else was there to achieve?	0:39:25	0:39:28

-Cerys and I find a flat here -on Gold Street...	0:40:13	0:40:16
-..and it becomes a creative cave.	0:40:16	0:40:20
-# Don't talk about me at midnight #	0:40:21	0:40:26
-The place is filled with music, -day and night.	0:40:26	0:40:29
-Mark and Cerys write and listen.	0:40:30	0:40:33
-Stone Roses, Bob Dylan, The Beatles.	0:40:33	0:40:37

-Everyone spends the weekend -at The City Arms and Clwb Ifor Bach.	0:40:57	0:41:01
-Cardiff is on fire!	0:41:02	0:41:04
-I'm back in the flat -for the first time in 20 years.	0:41:06	0:41:09
-The ghosts of the past -are still here.	0:41:10	0:41:13
-This was my room.	0:41:13	0:41:14
-Mark and Cerys's room -was behind me.	0:41:14	0:41:17
-They had guitars and amps -set up in their room.	0:41:17	0:41:20
-Late one night, -we sit around and play new tracks.	0:41:21	0:41:24
-The Catatonia and Datblygu stuff -sound excellent.	0:41:24	0:41:28
-I play some new tracks by Ty Gwydr -on the stereo.	0:41:28	0:41:33
-Later, I lie on my bed -and my mind is full of doubt.	0:41:43	0:41:48
-I get the feeling -that my time has passed...	0:41:50	0:41:53
-..and that the future -is in the next room.	0:41:54	0:41:57
-# It was easy	0:41:58	0:42:02
-# Completely natural #	0:42:04	0:42:08
-# I didn't say that I would go	0:42:20	0:42:25

-If Gorky's Zygotic Mynci weren't -from the underground generation...	0:42:28	0:42:33
-..they were certainly -cheeky little brothers...	0:42:33	0:42:36
-..and the first to fly the nest.	0:42:37	0:42:39
-After three albums with Ankst, -they sign with Fontana...	0:42:39	0:42:43
-..and record a further three albums -for different labels.	0:42:43	0:42:46
-We do x, y, z of bands.	0:42:47	0:42:49
-Bands such as Steve Eaves -appealed to an older Welsh audience.	0:42:50	0:42:55
-Beganifs were our Welsh -teen pop sensations.	0:42:55	0:42:58
-And Gorky's Zygotic Mynci -came from Pembrokeshire...	0:42:58	0:43:02
-..where speaking and singing -bilingually was totally natural.	0:43:02	0:43:07
-They weren't trying to make a point.	0:43:07	0:43:10
-They might as well -have been beamed in from Mars!	0:43:10	0:43:13
-They create music -that is totally idiosyncratic.	0:43:14	0:43:17
-They come with four albums -worth of songs and are barely 16!	0:43:17	0:43:23
-# Money	0:43:23	0:43:25
-# Is always money	0:43:25	0:43:29
-# And never funny #	0:43:29	0:43:31
-While Gorky's -conquered the Far East...	0:43:31	0:43:34
-..there was something happening -in a dingy Newport club called TJ's.	0:43:35	0:43:41
-Inspired by the success -of Manic Street Preachers...	0:43:44	0:43:48
-..a wave of bands flowed out -of the South-East Wales valleys...	0:43:48	0:43:53
-..winning the acclaim -of the music press in London.	0:43:53	0:43:58
-The combination -of those Welsh underground bands...	0:43:58	0:44:01
-..and those from the indie scene...	0:44:02	0:44:05
-..was a force -too powerful to ignore.	0:44:05	0:44:08
-But change frightens some people.	0:44:10	0:44:13
-Playing to the same audiences -time after time gets boring...	0:44:13	0:44:17
-..for the bands and audiences.	0:44:17	0:44:20
-Sometimes, you need to do something.	0:44:20	0:44:23
-Something different.	0:44:23	0:44:24
-Something new.	0:44:25	0:44:27
-We knew that we were -starting something new.	0:44:27	0:44:30
-But it was going to happen anyway.	0:44:30	0:44:33
-We had a generation of musicians -who were truly talented...	0:44:34	0:44:39
-..with a global vision...	0:44:39	0:44:41
-..who wanted to make -a living out of it.	0:44:42	0:44:45
-That wasn't an option if they sang -in Welsh and remained in Wales...	0:44:45	0:44:50
-..or even if they sang in Welsh -outside Wales.	0:44:51	0:44:56
-It was at that time -that I started to realize...	0:44:56	0:45:00
-..I had to quit Yr Anhrefn and Ffa -Coffi to do something else.	0:45:00	0:45:06
-I went to Super Furries -to start something...	0:45:06	0:45:10
-..and face the fact -that we had to sing in English...	0:45:10	0:45:13
-..to earn a decent living -and see more of the world.	0:45:13	0:45:17
-It left us feeling uncomfortable, -there's no denying it.	0:45:17	0:45:21
-For many years after that...	0:45:22	0:45:24
-..we wondered if it had -a positive or negative impact.	0:45:24	0:45:28
-You could argue that Gorky's and the -Super Furries inspired a generation.	0:45:29	0:45:34
-Did they make people think you -had to sing in English to succeed?	0:45:34	0:45:38
-In the end, Super Furry Animals -and Gorky's sang in both languages.	0:45:39	0:45:44
-They took both languages -across the world.	0:45:45	0:45:48
-You can't ask for more than that.	0:45:48	0:45:50
-# She smashed up all her violins #	0:45:51	0:45:54
-I was in California reading an -article in Rolling Stone magazine...	0:45:55	0:46:00
-..about Newport and this odd band -called Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.	0:46:00	0:46:05
-Yet in Wales, they couldn't -make the music they wanted...	0:46:05	0:46:10
-..in a way that had global appeal.	0:46:10	0:46:12
-Looking back, it was such -a narrow-minded way of thinking.	0:46:13	0:46:19
-They kept people in a box.	0:46:19	0:46:21
-I don't understand -the purpose of that...	0:46:21	0:46:24
-..because they were promoting -the Welsh language overseas.	0:46:24	0:46:29
-# Pulling beehives -on my head all day	0:46:29	0:46:34
-# Pulling beehives on my head -every hour of the night #	0:46:37	0:46:41
-We'd go to places such as Japan -or America with the Furries...	0:46:44	0:46:49
-..and this Britpop thing -was happening at the same time.	0:46:49	0:46:53
-We were lumped into that genre -when we were outside Britain.	0:46:53	0:46:58
-There was -this sub-group of Britpop...	0:46:58	0:47:01
-..which was Cool Cymru in Wales.	0:47:01	0:47:04
-Don't get me wrong, it helped -a lot of Welsh bands at the time.	0:47:04	0:47:09
-Welsh bands were treated the same -as bands from anywhere else.	0:47:09	0:47:14
-They weren't a sheep shagger -or a boyo!	0:47:14	0:47:18
-Cool Cymru was a term -devised by journalists...	0:47:18	0:47:22
-..but it happened.	0:47:22	0:47:24
-Not everybody was on that bus...	0:47:25	0:47:27
-..but it contributed -to our new confidence as a nation.	0:47:27	0:47:31
-Gorky's, Catatonia -and Super Furry Animals...	0:47:31	0:47:34
-..signed with major -international labels...	0:47:35	0:47:37
-..bringing more challenges, more -worries and more responsibilities.	0:47:38	0:47:43
-We did a tour in America and then -came back to play in a festival.	0:47:48	0:47:53
-I think it was Glastonbury -or something like that.	0:47:53	0:47:59
-It was obvious -that things had changed.	0:48:00	0:48:03
-All of a sudden, people -were singing our songs back at us.	0:48:03	0:48:07
-Something had happened -when we were out of the country.	0:48:07	0:48:11
-# Every day, when I wake up	0:48:11	0:48:17
-# I thank the Lord I'm Welsh #	0:48:17	0:48:23
-The scene that grew -from Anhrefn Records...	0:48:23	0:48:26
-..was fruitful -in producing true Welsh stars...	0:48:27	0:48:30
-..such as Cerys, Gruff and Euros.	0:48:31	0:48:33
-Suddenly, the music scene -was an exciting place to be.	0:48:33	0:48:38
-And right here on Womanby Street -with Clwb Ifor Bach at its centre...	0:48:39	0:48:43
-..and The City Arms and Four Bars -on the corners...	0:48:44	0:48:47
-..it was the coolest street -in Europe.	0:48:47	0:48:50
-# Magic	0:48:50	0:48:53
-# Show me magic #	0:48:53	0:48:57
-So what if John ac Alun kept cooing -and Sobin attracted the masses...	0:48:58	0:49:02
-..and Y Moniars stayed -right in the middle of the road?	0:49:03	0:49:06
-A massive point had been made.	0:49:07	0:49:09
-The underground generation -defined Wales now.	0:49:09	0:49:14
-It was us on the cover of NME.	0:49:14	0:49:16
-It was us on the stages -of Glastonbury.	0:49:16	0:49:19
-It was us being heard -on the world's radio waves.	0:49:19	0:49:22
-We knew that we were -as good as anyone else.	0:49:22	0:49:26
-It ignited something in the hearts -of Welsh youth of all backgrounds.	0:49:27	0:49:32
-It turned on a switch inside -that said "yes" on a personal level.	0:49:33	0:49:38
-They might have felt -that they belonged to something.	0:49:38	0:49:43
-Our new Wales...	0:49:43	0:49:45
-..and our vision -of a bright and new future.	0:49:45	0:49:49
-As a generation, -we went out of our way...	0:49:49	0:49:52
-..without the support -of a council or government...	0:49:52	0:49:56
-..to create a scene -that expressed our restless energy.	0:49:56	0:50:00
-An unofficial culture...	0:50:00	0:50:02
-..that extended beyond -national and linguistic boundaries.	0:50:02	0:50:07
-By doing this and breaking free -from the introverted grip...	0:50:07	0:50:12
-..that choked -the older generation...	0:50:12	0:50:15
-..we found our voice and did -just enough to make a difference.	0:50:15	0:50:21
-# You see the sand, the dust	0:50:21	0:50:25
-# But you see -that there are flowers #	0:50:25	0:50:28
-Every time I pass this place...	0:50:28	0:50:30
-..I can't stop myself thinking -that we created it.	0:50:30	0:50:33
-I think of everyone of our -generation who created something...	0:50:34	0:50:38
-..whether it's a song, -performance or piece of art.	0:50:38	0:50:41
-Those who jumped up and down -in the front row...	0:50:42	0:50:45
-..or spent hours gluing -record covers or Xerox fanzines...	0:50:45	0:50:49
-..with Pritt sticks and passion.	0:50:50	0:50:52
-Those who threw ink on a T-shirt -and wore it to a rally.	0:50:52	0:50:56
-Music doesn't change the world -but it can reflect change.	0:50:56	0:51:01
-It can add to an atmosphere and be -a soundtrack to the revolution.	0:51:01	0:51:07
-Rock 'n roll, in the language -of Dafydd ap Gwilym...	0:51:07	0:51:11
-..can be the soundtrack -to scenes in pubs...	0:51:11	0:51:14
-..from Ffestiniog to Warsaw...	0:51:15	0:51:17
-..from Swansea to Belfast, -from Tokyo to Llanfair Caereinion.	0:51:17	0:51:22
-# Love	0:51:22	0:51:26
