0:00:08 > 0:00:10What is Welshness?

0:00:10 > 0:00:16To me, if I go for a walk, and I go up the mountains.

0:00:16 > 0:00:23I've walked all over every mountain, pretty well, in Wales,

0:00:23 > 0:00:27and it's there that I get a sense of Welshness.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Being Welsh is being me.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35It's part of my identity and it gives me a sense of belonging.

0:00:35 > 0:00:42Belonging to a place, belonging to people and belonging in history.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Being Welsh means being passionate.

0:00:45 > 0:00:50A belief that life is as beautiful

0:00:50 > 0:00:54as the coastal scenes that we have here in Wales.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57One of the things which defines Welshness

0:00:57 > 0:01:02is, of course, its communities, both rural and industrial.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06And we have our own language to treasure.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10I'm a professional artist.

0:01:10 > 0:01:18Therefore, my Welshness means my work, my family and my life.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Being Welsh makes me proud.

0:01:20 > 0:01:27It makes me proud of my country, proud of the beauty of the country.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31It makes me proud of our culture.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33I'm proud that I'm Welsh.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Welshness to me is the close-heartedness of people.

0:01:41 > 0:01:47Rugby, the Valleys, the coal mines, and just Welsh people in general.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51For me, Welshness is a common culture,

0:01:51 > 0:01:54a common community of communities

0:01:54 > 0:01:59and we all have shared values, which is common to us all.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03To me, it's second nature being Plaid Cymru.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06If you're Welsh, you should be voting Plaid Cymru,

0:02:06 > 0:02:10because Plaid Cymru is the only party

0:02:10 > 0:02:14that thinks of Wales first and foremost.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18The new leader of Plaid Cymru is Leanne Wood.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21APPLAUSE

0:02:27 > 0:02:31So here is my message tonight to the people of Wales.
