It brings us together in wonder,

Sir Tom Jones going to church there with some true old school gospel.

0:09:230:09:28

Jesus Is Here To Stay and Jesus Is On The Mainline

0:09:280:09:32

with our super choirs.

0:09:320:09:34

-CHEERING

-Now that...

0:09:340:09:37

That's the kind of gospel music Sir Tom grew up on,

0:09:370:09:41

and sang with his great friend Elvis Presley.

0:09:410:09:44

CHEERING

0:09:440:09:47

This is a time for giving thanks, and it brings special songs to mind.

0:09:480:09:53

This is a song all about the hope that comes with Christmas

0:09:530:09:57

and is always there for us,

0:09:570:09:59

written by a great musician who we lost recently,

0:09:590:10:02

and someone who encouraged me in my music.

0:10:020:10:07

# Black day, stormy night

0:10:230:10:27

# No love, no hope in sight

0:10:280:10:32

-# Don't cry

-He is coming

0:10:330:10:37

-# Don't die

-Without knowing

0:10:380:10:42

# The cross

0:10:430:10:47

# Sweet song of salvation

0:10:520:10:58

# A pregnant mother sings

0:10:580:11:01

# She lives in starvation

0:11:020:11:06

# Her children need all that she brings

0:11:070:11:14

# We all have our problems

0:11:220:11:26

# Some are big, some are small

0:11:260:11:30

# Soon all of our problems

0:11:310:11:36

# Will be taken by the cross...

0:11:360:11:44

Yeah! One, two, three...

0:11:470:11:51

# Ghettos to the left of us

0:12:010:12:06

# Flowers to the right

0:12:060:12:09

# There'll be bread for all

0:12:110:12:15

# If we can just bear the cross, yeah...

0:12:160:12:22

Now, listen...

0:12:280:12:29

# We all, we all have our problems now

0:12:310:12:35

# Some are big, some are small Yes, they are

0:12:350:12:40

# Soon all of our problems

CHEERING

0:13:320:13:35

Miss Beverley Knight with The Cross.

0:13:430:13:46

I thank you for that beautiful reminder of the late, great Prince.

0:13:460:13:51

CHEERING

0:13:510:13:53

Now, I've fond memories of Christmas in South Wales

0:13:550:13:58

as a boy, and my gospel journey began not just at home,

0:13:580:14:02

listening to music on the radio, but it also began in my local chapel.

0:14:020:14:07

Wow.

0:14:250:14:27

I haven't been in here for a long time.

0:14:270:14:30

The Park Chapel. Wonderful.

0:14:300:14:32

Phew.

0:14:390:14:41

The thing I remember most of all was Sunday school. 2:30pm.

0:14:410:14:46

And we were always reminded of it,

0:14:460:14:49

because the preacher would say, "Sunday school starts at 2:30pm."

0:14:490:14:54

We were always late.

0:14:570:14:59

And he used to say, "Better late than never, but better never late."

0:14:590:15:04

"A faithful member of this church."

0:15:120:15:14

Well, this is dedicated to Mrs Rogers,

0:15:160:15:18

who was my Sunday school teacher, and she lived next door.

0:15:180:15:23

So you couldn't really... HE LAUGHS

0:15:230:15:25

..you couldn't really get out of not coming to...

0:15:250:15:28

..to Sunday school, because she would always check

0:15:290:15:31

to make sure that I was going.

0:15:310:15:34

So it's lovely that this is dedicated to her.

0:15:340:15:38

When I was a child,

0:15:430:15:45

the only time that I heard singers sing in public was here.

0:15:450:15:52

You know, that's when we all got together and we sang.

0:15:520:15:55

Here, in this room, with long notes being played on the organ,

0:15:550:15:59

that seemed a little scary to me.

0:15:590:16:01

# Mm

0:16:040:16:07

# Come on, children, let's sing... #

0:16:070:16:09

But when I heard American gospel music, it didn't seem scary.

0:16:090:16:14

It lifted me up. It made me feel excited.

0:16:140:16:17

# Come on, children, let's sing Yeah

0:16:170:16:20

# About the goodness of the lord... #

0:16:200:16:22

I was mischievous, I suppose, when I was a kid.

0:16:220:16:26

I was tempted many times to sing it

0:16:260:16:30

like I could hear black gospel singers sing.

0:16:300:16:35

Sister Rosetta Tharpe, I saw her.

0:16:370:16:40

She was singing like a rock and roll singer,

0:16:400:16:42

playing an electric guitar and singing gospel songs.

0:16:420:16:46

You know, which was even more than I had heard as a child.

0:16:460:16:51

# Didn't it rain, children? #

0:16:510:16:54

-CHEERING

-# Rain, oh, yes... #

0:16:540:16:57

Holy roller, you know? She rocked it up.

0:16:570:17:00

# You know it did, didn't it?

0:17:000:17:02

# Oh, yes How it rained... #

0:17:020:17:05

This was a big part of my upbringing.

0:17:050:17:08

-# I want to know

-I don't know

0:17:080:17:11

# Baby, I got to know... #

0:17:110:17:12

So that's how I developed my style.

0:17:120:17:15

You know, my singing and projection

0:17:150:17:18

came from this chapel,

0:17:180:17:22

and then later on, clubs and pubs and dance halls, you know?

0:17:220:17:26

But it originally started here.

0:17:260:17:29

CHEERING

0:17:320:17:34

Now, Tom.

0:17:340:17:36

You know I'm not coming to Wales for Christmas without sampling

0:17:360:17:39

-something really tasty.

-Right.

0:17:390:17:41

Now, in Caribbean households, we have black cake.

0:17:410:17:45

It's like a fruitcake,

0:17:450:17:46

-but it's really treacly and it's really heavy, and it's amazing.

-Wow.

0:17:460:17:52

Well, what we always had was a Christmas cake made by my mother.

0:17:520:17:57

Now, whilst Bev and I swap cake recipes, please take in the joyful

0:17:570:18:02

sounds of a young man whose voice is like no other.

0:18:020:18:06

Here's Kwabs.

0:29:510:29:53

Cardiff is one of the most diverse places in the UK.

0:30:060:30:09

Migration here happened really early in this area -

0:30:090:30:12

we're talking about the early 1900s.

0:30:120:30:15

A lot of the Somalian and Caribbean sailors thought,

0:30:150:30:18

"This is my chance of a new life."

0:30:180:30:21

They also brought their worship with them.

0:30:210:30:23

People longed for a place that they could call, you know,

0:30:230:30:26

their place, a place that they could call their church.

0:30:260:30:29

Who's that by your mum?

0:30:320:30:33

The one standing.

0:30:330:30:35

I'm the one going like that.

0:30:350:30:37

LAUGHTER

0:30:370:30:39

-Look at those cheeks!

-Those were the good old days.

-Three sisters.

0:30:390:30:43

The music comes from there.

0:30:430:30:46

That feeling that sort of fetches out in you,

0:30:460:30:48

makes you want to clap and sing.

0:30:480:30:50

What's kept the culture in Cardiff was the church, where people

0:30:580:31:02

got together of different cultures and everything else.

0:31:020:31:05

From that footage, what you see there, that's how it started off.

0:31:050:31:08

The song, Redeemed, I remember that as a child.

0:31:090:31:11

And I remember learning to play guitar to it and, you know,

0:31:110:31:15

it just becomes an anchor.

0:31:150:31:18

A lot of our church choruses, especially back in the '60s,

0:31:180:31:20

were like four liners and repeated and repeated.

0:31:200:31:23

And you actually sense the energy lift.

0:31:230:31:27

You know, you just get these songs and they just say it, you know?

0:31:270:31:30

"I am redeemed."

0:31:300:31:31

ALL: # Redeem

0:31:310:31:33

# For thy debt I could not bear

0:31:330:31:36

# Redeem

0:31:360:31:37

# Hallelujah

0:31:370:31:39

# Redeem. #

0:31:390:31:42

Oh, how was that?!

0:31:420:31:44

Now, back in 1979, Bob Dylan released Slow Train Coming,

0:31:490:31:55

an album of songs about his new-found faith.

0:31:550:32:00

It was an album about belief and how to keep it.

0:32:000:32:04

Now, here's a song from it that really means a lot to me.

0:32:040:32:07

# They asked me how I feel

0:32:250:32:30

# And if my love is real

0:32:300:32:33

# How I know I'll make it through

0:32:340:32:39

# They, they look at me and frown

0:32:400:32:45

# They'd like to drive me from this town

0:32:450:32:50

# They don't want me around

0:32:500:32:53

# Cos I believe in you

0:32:530:32:57

# They show me to the door

0:33:010:33:05

# They say, "Don't come back no more"

0:33:050:33:09

# Cos I don't be like they'd like me to

0:33:090:33:14

# And I, I walk out on my own

0:33:160:33:21

# A thousand miles from home

0:33:210:33:25

# But I don't feel alone

0:33:250:33:29

# Cos I believe in you

0:33:290:33:33

# I believe in you

0:33:360:33:38

# Through tears and the laughter

0:33:380:33:42

# I believe in you

0:33:430:33:45

# Even though we're far apart

0:33:450:33:49

# And I believe in you

0:33:490:33:52

# Even on the morning after

0:33:520:33:55

# Oh, when the dawn is nearing

0:33:560:34:00

# Oh, when the night is disappearing

0:34:000:34:04

# Oh, this feeling's still here in my heart

0:34:040:34:10

# Don't let me drift too far

0:34:100:34:15

# Keep me where you are

0:34:150:34:19

# Where I will always be

0:34:190:34:22

# Renewed

0:34:220:34:24

# And that which you've given me today

0:34:250:34:30

# Is worth more than I could pay

0:34:300:34:34

# And no matter what they say

0:34:340:34:37

# I believe in you

0:34:390:34:41

# I believe in you

0:34:450:34:47

# When winter turns to summer

0:34:470:34:52

# And I believe in you

0:34:520:34:54

# When white turns to black

0:34:540:34:59

# And I believe in you even though I be outnumbered

0:34:590:35:06

# Oh, though the earth may shake me

0:35:060:35:09

# Oh, and my friends forsake me

0:35:090:35:13

# Oh, even that wouldn't make me go back

0:35:130:35:18

# Don't let me change my heart

0:35:200:35:25

# Keep me set apart

0:35:250:35:28

# From all the plans they do pursue

0:35:280:35:33

# And I, I don't mind the pain

0:35:350:35:39

# I don't mind the driving rain

0:35:390:35:43

# I know I will sustain

0:35:430:35:46

# Cos I believe in you

0:35:480:35:51

# I believe in you. #

Thanks, Tom.

0:36:230:36:25

And now it's my turn.

0:36:250:36:27

Now, I want to sing a number by a group whose foundations were

0:36:270:36:31

steeped in gospel.

0:36:310:36:33

Led by their father, the mighty Pops,

0:36:330:36:36

and featuring the great Mavis Staples who's just

0:36:360:36:39

been on tour with Bob Dylan,

0:36:390:36:41

The Staple Singers gave us

0:36:410:36:43

Respect Yourself and I'll Take You There, to name but two.

0:36:430:36:48

I think you might recognise this.

Ms Beverley Knight.

0:39:290:39:31

Now, Wales has always been spiritual, not just in voice,

0:39:320:39:37

but in words, too,

0:39:370:39:39

and one of our famous authors,

0:39:390:39:41

Dylan Thomas, wrote the wonderful

0:39:410:39:44

A Child's Christmas In Wales.

0:39:440:39:47

And I love this bit from the tale,

0:39:470:39:49

so indulge me, just for a little while, OK?

0:39:490:39:52

Always, on Christmas night, there was music.

0:39:550:39:57

An uncle played the fiddle,

0:39:580:40:00

a cousin sang Cherry Ripe,

0:40:000:40:03

another uncle sang Drake's Drum.

0:40:030:40:06

It was very warm in that little house.

0:40:060:40:08

Auntie Hannah, who had got into the parsnip wine,

0:40:090:40:13

sang a song about bleeding hearts and death,

0:40:130:40:16

and then another in which she said her heart,

0:40:160:40:18

"Was like a bird's nest."

0:40:180:40:20

And then everybody laughed again and then I went to bed.

0:40:220:40:26

LAUGHTER

0:40:260:40:29

Looking through my bedroom window out into the moonlight

0:40:290:40:32

and the unending snow,

0:40:320:40:36

I could see the lights in the windows

0:40:360:40:38

of all the other houses on the hill and hear the music rising

0:40:380:40:42

from them up the long, steady falling night.

0:40:420:40:47

I turned the gas down, I got into bed,

0:40:470:40:50

I said some words to the close and holy darkness...

0:40:500:40:54

..and then I slept.

What do I love to eat at Christmas? Everything.

My top tips for, like, good vocal health are always, if you can,

0:46:060:46:11

wrap your throat and your chest with a scarf when you're going out.

0:46:110:46:14

-I don't have mine.

-There you go.

0:46:140:46:16

-That's why you have a cold, Francis.

-I forgot it.

0:46:160:46:19

You have to watch out for too much alcohol because that's drying.

0:46:190:46:22

-Dries it out.

-If you sing from your throat you're going to crash.

-You're going to crash.

0:46:220:46:25

And don't yell at the Christmas films that come on... Don't yell!

0:46:250:46:30

-No yelling at the telly.

-Exactly.
