0:30:230:30:25

-Bryn enjoys coming home to Wales

-to perform old and new Welsh songs.

0:30:270:30:32

-Earlier today,

-I spoke to him about this concert.

0:30:320:30:36

-Bryn, what's the thinking

-behind the music choice?

0:30:370:30:41

-The idea was to bring together

-Welsh composers' work...

0:30:420:30:46

-..and Victorian songs

-which I've sung for years.

0:30:460:30:50

-Composers such as R S Hughes

-and W S Gwynn Williams...

0:30:500:30:54

-..and my grandmother's favourite

-song - Bryniau Aur Fy Ngwlad.

0:30:540:30:59

-They're all songs

-which contain a message...

0:31:000:31:03

-..and I've sung them many times...

0:31:040:31:06

-..in concerts held everywhere,

-from chapels to concert halls.

0:31:060:31:11

-This is a tribute

-to iconic Welsh songs.

0:31:120:31:15

-As you said,

-you've sung many of these before...

0:31:160:31:20

-..but you'll sing a new arrangement

-of a medley of Welsh songs too.

0:31:200:31:25

-Yes, and it's

-very close to my heart.

0:31:250:31:27

-My agent, Doreen O'Neill,

-came up with the idea...

0:31:270:31:31

-..of singing the medley

-Bryan Davies wrote for me...

0:31:310:31:35

-..to perform in a concert

-at La Scala, Milan.

0:31:350:31:38

-It was her idea

-to sing it with an orchestra.

0:31:380:31:41

-Sweet Bryan with his flat cap

-and his plastic bag...

0:31:440:31:47

-..and his cigarettes.

0:31:480:31:49

-He had an iconic, unique talent

-for music.

0:31:500:31:54

-He's a musician whom I sorely miss.

0:31:560:31:59

-This is a tribute to Bryan Davies.

0:32:000:32:03

-I hope it makes him smile.
