0:00:490:00:54

-Now that the touring is over...

0:00:540:00:57

-..their devoted fans travel

-to The Gresham to see their heroes.

0:00:580:01:02

-The Gresham Hotel

-is a family business.

0:01:120:01:16

-Aloma's daughters, Emma and Lia,

-look after the administrative side.

0:01:160:01:22

-43, 44 and 45.

0:01:220:01:24

-As well as family members,

-the hotel employs eight staff.

0:01:260:01:31

-A coach has just arrived.

0:01:310:01:33

-Carol and her daughter Katie

-are busy preparing the rooms.

0:01:330:01:37

-They're not like bosses, especially

-with us being here so long.

0:01:400:01:45

-We're more a bit of a family.

0:01:450:01:47

-Tony's more like my little

-boyfriend. I look after him.

0:01:480:01:52

-I massage his head, give him

-confidence before he goes on camera.

0:01:520:01:57

-Hello, Tony.

0:01:580:01:59

-Hello, Tony.

-

-How are you?

0:01:590:02:00

-Hello, Tony!

0:02:000:02:01

-Hello, Tony!

-

-Alright?

0:02:010:02:02

-Are you alright?

0:02:030:02:04

-What's your role within the hotel?

0:02:050:02:07

-What's your role within the hotel?

-

-As little as possible, to be honest.

0:02:070:02:10

-I'm a bit

-of a barman and supervisor.

0:02:100:02:14

-OK?

0:02:150:02:16

-This is my domain.

0:02:170:02:19

-The bell's the only thing

-that gets her moving.

0:02:210:02:24

-Whenever this rings,

-money goes in the till.

0:02:240:02:28

-This is vital when it comes

-to paying the mortgage!

0:02:290:02:34

-There are almost 70 here

-from Anglesey this weekend.

0:02:350:02:39

-We're home from home, to see

-Tony and Aloma, and Gruff singing.

0:02:390:02:44

-Will Tony and Aloma sing tonight?

0:02:440:02:46

-Will Tony and Aloma sing tonight?

-

-Oh, yes.

0:02:460:02:49

-We're regulars.

0:02:490:02:51

-Tony's more hands-on than Aloma.

0:02:510:02:54

-Aloma hasn't been well.

0:02:550:02:58

-Aloma and her family

-live three miles from The Gresham.

0:02:590:03:04

-Come here.

0:03:050:03:07

-Oh, come here.

0:03:080:03:10

-You're a pretty boy.

0:03:110:03:13

-Who's this?

0:03:150:03:16

-He's the only one

-who understands Welsh in the house.

0:03:160:03:20

-He doesn't want to talk.

0:03:210:03:23

-Word, g-y-n-t-a.

0:03:250:03:27

-Roy and Aloma

-have been together since 1976.

0:03:290:03:33

-As well as being her partner...

0:03:380:03:41

-..Roy and Aloma were a cabaret act.

0:03:410:03:44

-They performed all over the world

-in the late 1970s.

0:03:440:03:48

-A new book about Tony and Aloma's

-lives chronicles this period.

0:03:500:03:55

-It's quite a way back now, 40 years,

-is it? No, 30 years.

0:03:550:04:01

-It's difficult for you,

-not understanding, isn't it?

0:04:010:04:05

-It doesn't make it any easier

-for you. I can't really help you.

0:04:050:04:09

-No, that's the problem.

0:04:100:04:11

-Usually, anything

-that I'm struggling with...

0:04:120:04:15

-..I give up and Roy finishes it,

-particularly if I'm not well.

0:04:150:04:20

-Don't smile at me like that!

0:04:210:04:23

-The new book will include

-a collection of new and old photos.

0:04:250:04:29

-They each have to be captioned,

-and quickly.

0:04:290:04:33

-How far did we get

-about the Princess Margaret thing?

0:04:340:04:39

-I worked on this through the night.

0:04:400:04:43

-It's been crazy.

0:04:440:04:48

-I've worked around the clock

-for days. The deadline's looming.

0:04:490:04:54

-The book is due in the shops

-in a matter of days.

0:04:540:04:58

-I'm exhausted.

0:04:580:05:00

-I've got ME.

0:05:000:05:02

-It doesn't do me any good

-to push myself.

0:05:020:05:06

-By Sunday,

-when all the hype is over...

0:05:060:05:12

-..I'll flake out.

0:05:120:05:15

-Gresham!

0:05:180:05:20

-Hello!

0:05:240:05:25

-Hello!

-

-Hello, darling.

0:05:250:05:26

-Don't say darling!

-There's a camera here!

0:05:270:05:30

-Then it's an ideal photo

-opportunity! Hello, darling!

0:05:300:05:34

-Are you OK?

0:05:340:05:35

-Are you OK?

-

-Yes. And you?

0:05:350:05:37

-Not bad.

0:05:370:05:38

-You look well.

-Are you coming to Mecca with us?

0:05:380:05:42

-No, I'm working.

0:05:420:05:44

-He goes to bingo sometimes.

0:05:450:05:46

-He goes to bingo sometimes.

-

-Yes, years ago.

0:05:460:05:48

-You don't go any more?

0:05:480:05:49

-You don't go any more?

-

-No. I can't smoke there.

0:05:490:05:51

-That's the trouble. I can't either.

0:05:510:05:54

-That's the trouble.

0:05:540:05:56

-We enjoy going.

0:05:560:05:59

-Tony would say,

-"I didn't get anything."

0:05:590:06:02

-And I'd reply, "Nor me."

0:06:020:06:04

-That's what everyone

-says about bingo.

0:06:040:06:07

-"I only wanted one, just one.

-I only needed one!"

0:06:070:06:12

-That number never comes.

0:06:120:06:13

-That number never comes.

-

-No!

0:06:130:06:14

-Many of these won't go in the book.

0:06:250:06:29

-Here's one of Tony.

0:06:300:06:32

-I think it's around Christmas.

0:06:330:06:35

-I'm not sure why he's got

-a towel with sheep around his neck.

0:06:350:06:41

-I've enjoyed looking through them.

0:06:410:06:44

-But it's been stressful

-to put them all together...

0:06:440:06:49

-..in so little time.

0:06:500:06:53

-I need to match pictures

-to the stories.

0:06:540:06:58

-It's difficult.

0:06:580:07:00

-I'm beginning to despise the photos!

0:07:010:07:04

-These past few days, I've felt

-like putting a match to them!

0:07:050:07:09

-That's it. I've had enough. End of!

0:07:100:07:12

-It's a Friday night.

0:07:120:07:14

-For Beti and Margaret...

0:07:150:07:17

-..a night out in Blackpool

-isn't complete without bingo.

0:07:170:07:22

-Yellow thirty.

0:07:230:07:24

-Red eleven.

0:07:250:07:26

-Six! Hopeless!

0:07:280:07:30

-You don't need 800, do you?

0:07:320:07:33

-You don't need 800, do you?

-

-Oh, yes, I do!

0:07:330:07:35

-I'm on a pension.

0:07:370:07:39

-Why play bingo in Blackpool?

-There are bingo houses everywhere!

0:07:410:07:46

-Tony and Aloma are here. It's a

-chance for us Welsh to get together.

0:07:460:07:51

-It's a gamble

-whether Tony and Aloma will sing.

0:07:530:07:57

-Aloma hasn't been well.

0:07:580:08:00

-They might say Aloma

-isn't well enough to sing.

0:08:010:08:04

-It's disappointing, because we

-look forward to hearing them sing.

0:08:050:08:10

-But she isn't well.

0:08:110:08:13

-There's a possibility

-she won't make it.

0:08:140:08:18

-Is that number five?

0:08:180:08:20

-Is that number five?

-

-Yes.

0:08:200:08:21

-This time last year,

-I had a health scare.

0:08:220:08:27

-I lost over a stone and a half

-in very little time.

0:08:290:08:32

-The fact is,

-I think that as a family...

0:08:330:08:37

-..we thought that if I didn't

-write a book this year...

0:08:380:08:42

-..I wouldn't have another chance.

0:08:430:08:46

-We've got all night tonight.

0:08:490:08:52

-I need to pop out for a few hours.

0:08:520:08:55

-An audience is expecting

-to hear me sing around midnight.

0:08:550:09:00

-We'll restart once I'm back.

0:09:000:09:03

-# What is the world coming to?

0:09:030:09:05

-# What is the world coming to?

0:09:070:09:12

-# What is the world coming to? #

0:09:130:09:19

-They're a great crowd.

-They enjoy themselves.

0:09:190:09:23

-There's a mixture of the young,

-middle-aged and elderly.

0:09:230:09:27

-The youngsters go out

-and enjoy the Blackpool nightlife.

0:09:270:09:32

-Some have just come back now.

-That's why it's still going on.

0:09:320:09:36

-I'm going to work now.

0:09:380:09:40

-# Bing bong, bing bong bay

0:09:410:09:43

-# Bing bong, bing bong bay #

0:09:440:09:46

-Fair play to her,

-she's making egg sandwiches...

0:09:470:09:50

-..one for me and one for her father.

0:09:510:09:54

-Nice one.

0:09:550:09:56

-Nice one.

-

-I've cut the crusts off for you.

0:09:560:09:58

-You've cut the crusts off, like Mam

-did for you when you were little!

0:09:580:10:03

-She taught me well.

0:10:040:10:06

-# Beautiful

0:10:070:10:08

-# To my eyes

0:10:090:10:13

-# From the moment

0:10:140:10:17

-# I saw you #

0:10:180:10:21

-Is it odd

-to perform this time of night?

0:10:230:10:27

-It's odd tonight. I'm exhausted,

-with the book and everything.

0:10:280:10:32

-Usually, I'd be down here

-a few hours earlier.

0:10:320:10:36

-I'd have done a spot

-and started to socialize with them.

0:10:360:10:41

-It's almost time

-for some of them to go to bed...

0:10:420:10:46

-..and for me

-to go back to work on the book.

0:10:460:10:49

-Ready?

0:10:500:10:50

-Ready?

-

-No.

0:10:500:10:52

-Have you had your Lucozade?

0:10:540:10:56

-The doctor says drinking Lucozade

-is good for the voice.

0:10:560:11:00

-I can't do anything because

-I can't get my mic stand up.

0:11:010:11:04

-What?

0:11:050:11:06

-I can't get my mic stand up.

0:11:060:11:08

-Oh, surely...

0:11:080:11:09

-I can't, not the way it's set up.

0:11:100:11:12

-You might have to work

-up the stage. It's a bit tight.

0:11:120:11:17

-So do we cancel it all then?

0:11:190:11:20

-So do we cancel it all then?

-

-Yes.

0:11:200:11:21

-# Now it's

0:11:220:11:24

-# All over

0:11:250:11:28

-Over the past few months...

0:12:400:12:42

-..Alun Gibbard has recorded chats

-with Aloma and Tony at The Gresham.

0:12:420:12:48

-The stories,

-intended for the book...

0:12:480:12:51

-..retrace their career

-and personal lives.

0:12:510:12:55

-When the Welsh started

-coming for the first time...

0:12:550:13:01

-..these people had thought...

0:13:010:13:04

-..all through their lives...

0:13:040:13:07

-..that we were married,

-that we were together.

0:13:080:13:12

-When they come to Blackpool,

-they walk into the bar...

0:13:140:13:20

-..and they remember our concerts.

0:13:200:13:24

-"How's your wife?" they ask.

0:13:250:13:27

-"What?"

0:13:300:13:31

-"How's Aloma?"

0:13:320:13:33

-"We're not married," I tell them.

0:13:330:13:37

-"I'm a bachelor."

0:13:380:13:40

-That's when they first realize.

0:13:400:13:43

-The way I describe it is

-"an instant divorce."

0:13:460:13:51

-I'll use that.

0:13:530:13:55

-The fastest divorce in the world!

-It's the night of the book launch.

0:15:080:15:11

-Joining in the celebrations...

0:15:110:15:14

-..are Tony and Aloma's families,

-fans, publishers and cameras.

0:15:140:15:19

-Are you fed up?

0:15:220:15:23

-Right, see you later.

0:15:260:15:27

-Right, see you later.

-

-Remember your dentures.

0:15:270:15:29

-I will.

0:15:290:15:31

-The cameraman said.

0:15:310:15:33

-Tony, the cameras

-are following you everywhere.

0:15:360:15:39

-Is it nice? Are you used to it?

0:15:400:15:42

-Is that what this is? Oh!

0:15:420:15:44

-No, I don't like cameras,

-I have to admit.

0:15:450:15:48

-But I have no choice.

0:15:490:15:51

-I read in the book that you

-dislike doing television work.

0:15:510:15:56

-True.

0:15:560:15:57

-Why?

0:15:570:15:58

-I don't know.

0:15:590:16:01

-I find it very hard

-to be natural on camera.

0:16:020:16:07

-I don't mind the phone and

-microphone, but I don't like this.

0:16:070:16:12

-I'll see you in a bit.

0:16:160:16:18

-Oh, I thought it was a dog!

0:16:210:16:23

-Hiya! Alright?

0:16:290:16:31

-Hey, no problem.

0:16:360:16:37

-Nice to see you.

0:16:380:16:39

-Nice to see you.

-

-And you.

0:16:390:16:40

-Who dressed you?

0:16:400:16:42

-Who dressed you?

0:17:040:17:05

-

-It's been such a long project.

0:17:080:17:10

-Actually seeing it...

0:17:110:17:13

-Don't! You'll start me off!

0:17:140:17:16

-Don't! You'll start me off!

-

0:17:160:17:18

0:18:080:18:12

0:18:120:18:14

0:18:180:18:20

-

-Nice enough, yes.

0:18:390:18:42

-Cheers.

0:18:430:18:43

-Cheers.

-

-Have a chair, relax.

0:18:430:18:46

-Is it odd to see your family

-and so many cameras around?

0:18:480:18:53

-I'm running late. It's always the

-same, no matter how early I start.

0:18:530:18:58

-I was worried about Mam,

-who hasn't been well.

0:18:580:19:01

-She travelled here this morning.

-I didn't think she'd come.

0:19:020:19:06

-But she's made the effort.

-My brothers and children are here.

0:19:060:19:10

-There are people here I haven't seen

-in years, a school friend has come.

0:19:110:19:16

-I've seen the book.

0:19:170:19:19

-I haven't taken it all in yet.

0:19:200:19:23

-To think my story is in a book, and

-will be in people's hands by Monday!

0:19:230:19:28

-What have I said?

-Have I left something out?

0:19:280:19:31

-Do you want some make-up?

0:19:320:19:34

-This is my sister, Catherine

-and her husband, Alistair.

0:19:360:19:41

-My sister Phyllis and Gruff

-her husband.

0:19:430:19:47

-This is Mam.

0:19:480:19:50

-Mam hasn't been very well.

-She came all the way from Anglesey.

0:19:500:19:55

-She'll help sing in the chorus.

0:19:550:19:57

-This is my eldest daughter, Dawna.

0:20:010:20:04

-Two grandchildren,

-Tammy and Nicola.

0:20:060:20:09

-And a pretty good son-in-law.

0:20:090:20:11

-A Friday night in Blackpool

-wouldn't be the same...

0:20:120:20:15

-..without a room full of Welsh

-people in Tony and Aloma's hotel.

0:20:160:20:20

-Where are they from, Tony?

0:20:200:20:23

-They're rebels

-from Caernarfon and Anglesey.

0:20:230:20:26

-They know to expect a good night.

0:20:260:20:29

-I hope you'll be singing tonight.

0:20:300:20:32

-I hope you'll be singing tonight.

-

-We'll try.

0:20:320:20:33

-The choir hasn't arrived,

-so we might go ahead without them.

0:20:330:20:37

-There's another reason

-why we're in The Gresham tonight.

0:20:380:20:42

-More about that later.

0:20:430:20:44

-Great!

0:20:490:20:50

-Great!

-

-Did you like my joke?

0:20:500:20:52

-Where's the next piece?

0:20:530:20:55

-# The angels are singing

0:20:550:20:57

-# High up in the sky

0:20:570:20:59

0:21:000:21:04

-Once they're off air, Tony and Aloma

-get together with an old friend.

0:21:090:21:14

-CHEERS

0:21:150:21:16

-I've always found it difficult

-to get you to do anything.

0:21:180:21:23

-We're terrible. We're so nervous.

0:21:230:21:25

-I want to retire and be left alone!

0:21:270:21:30

-But when it happens, it's worth it.

0:21:310:21:35

-Idris shares the stage

-with Tony and Aloma...

0:21:370:21:40

-..as he did in 1964 on the night

-of their very first performance.

0:21:400:21:46

-Tony had written a running order.

0:21:460:21:48

-"Tony and Aloma".

0:21:490:21:51

-They'd never sung together before.

0:21:510:21:54

-We had to drag them off stage!

0:21:550:21:58

-As singers,

-you were fantastic together.

0:21:590:22:02

-To the audience...

0:22:020:22:04

-..you were the perfect lovers.

0:22:040:22:07

-# I've got something,

-yes, yes, yes I've got something

0:22:080:22:12

-# Something to say #

0:22:130:22:15

-When we sing a love song,

-we are two lovers.

0:22:190:22:23

-We live the song.

0:22:230:22:27

-If you live the song, the feeling

-comes across to the audience.

0:22:270:22:32

-Once we're off stage...

0:22:320:22:34

-You fight!

0:22:340:22:36

-We fight!

0:22:360:22:37

-No, Aloma has her life

-and I have mine.

0:22:370:22:40

-That's what's important.

-We live the song.

0:22:410:22:44

-# I love you

0:22:450:22:48

-# I love you

0:22:480:22:52

-# I

0:22:530:22:55

-# Love

0:22:560:22:59
