-I'm Rhys Meirion.

-In the coming weeks,

-I'll enjoy the company...

-..of some of Wales's

-most talented singers.

-I'll travel to all sorts of places,

-some further than others.

-We'll share stories...

-..and of course,

-there will be plenty of singing.

-I'll invite the artistes

-to the studio to sing duets.

-We'll have fun

-and tackle a few challenges.

-I'll choose a song

-to sing with them...

-..and they'll choose

-a song to sing with me.

-Welcome to Deuawdau Rhys Meirion.

-I haven't heard tonight's artiste

-singing live.

-I'm looking forward

-to seeing him in action.

-How will his audience react?

-I'm in the Victoria Hotel,

-Menai Bridge.

-My guest is from Anglesey.

-He fills venues all over Wales.

-His fans think the world of him.

-We like him as a singer and person.

-I love listening to him.

-He sings nice songs.

-Mynydd Bodafon.

-Mynydd Bodafon.

-

-Yes.

-As I took my seat...

-..I could easily understand

-Wil Roberts' appeal.

-Can you hear in the back?

-Can you hear in the back?

-

-We all know him as Wil Tan.

-# Summer covers the meadow

-# In a carpet of flowers

-# We'll walk hand in hand

-# In Snowdonia

-# To try to get the feeling #

-It's no exaggeration to say

-that the fireman...

-..is a phenomenon.

-Everyone knows Wil Tan.

-How?

-I don't know.

-He's a singer...

-..and also a fireman.

-He serves his community.

-We feel close to him.

-It's not the singing

-that appeals to Anna.

-No?

-No?

-

-What is it, then?

-He picked up his children from

-school with his shirt wide open.

-I remember that.

-I remember that.

-

-That's the appeal!

-You can cut that out now!

-# The two of us

-# On Snowdonia's magical paths #

-Thank you!

-How are you?

-How are you?

-

-Are you OK?

-How was it?

-How was it?

-

-Brilliant.

-I don't know about that!

-Take a seat.

-Did you enjoy it?

-Did you enjoy it?

-

-I can't say I enjoyed it.

-You seemed totally relaxed

-and without a care in the world.

-I was nervous throughout.

-I was nervous throughout.

-

-It didn't come across.

-You're not lying.

-No! Is it harder

-to sing to a home crowd?

-Much harder.

-I'm more nervous here

-than in South Wales.

-I'm exactly the same.

-I recognize people in the audience.

-Then I forget the words!

-Exactly.

-It was an eye-opener

-to be in the audience.

-They think the world of you.

-I don't know about that.

-Sometimes I think

-they won't enjoy themselves.

-I wouldn't mind being

-in the audience, watching myself.

-It was interesting

-to hear your voice...

-..and thinking ahead to the duets.

-I'm looking forward to singing

-with you. Will our voices blend?

-We'll have fun.

-I'm looking forward.

-I'm looking forward.

-

-Great.

-I couldn't wait to sing with Wil

-after seeing him in action.

-What would be possible

-with two very different voices?

-How are you?

-This is it.

-This is it.

-

-Wow.

-When Rhys invited me to take part,

-I thought, "Why me?"

-It'll be a privilege.

-I'm looking forward

-to singing with a real tenor.

-A little bird tells me you have

-a pre-performance routine.

-I bought dark chocolate

-this morning.

-Thank you! Who told you that?

-I think it was John,

-from John and Alun...

-..who told me that

-it does the world of good.

-# All completely

-# All completely #

-It's no problem

-if you want to go higher.

-I'm quite nervous of what's ahead.

-It's like having a fire brigade

-medical.

-Unless we get started soon,

-I'll do a bad job.

-We have two different voices.

-I worry whether they'll blend.

-He admitted to being nervous.

-He was tense.

-I'm delighted

-with the way it's going.

-We've had fun, too,

-seeing who made the most mistakes.

-At the moment, it's a draw game!

-One, two.

-# All completely

-# All completely #

-Once the ice was broken,

-I wanted to find out more about Wil.

-Where did the singing start?

-It meant going to an island

-a little further than Anglesey.

-Slainte.

-Visiting Western Ireland

-a few years ago...

-..started Wil's singing career.

-It all happened by accident.

-I was hitchhiking 30 years ago.

-I'd been to Ireland

-a couple of times.

-Peadar O'Finneadha,

-who is now a great friend of mine...

-..encouraged me to sing in public.

-He sang in Irish, I sang in Welsh.

-The singing started in Connemara.

-You had an interest in Ireland

-before meeting Peadar.

-My father sang songs like

-Galway Bay to himself...

-..as he washed the dishes.

-Do you remember the old tube radios?

-Athlone was in the middle

-of the dial.

-We tuned in to Athlone

-to listen to Irish voices and songs.

-I wanted to go there

-from a young age.

-Things worked out very well.

-Have you sung in Ireland?

-Not in the South.

-I've performed in Northern Ireland.

-I've been invited three times.

-I couldn't go because

-I was performing elsewhere.

-I hope I get another invitation.

-I'm looking forward.

-I might be singing in Ireland

-for the first time with you.

-It will be fun.

-# Far across yonder blue

-# Lies a true fairy land

-# Where the sea washes over

-# The shingle and sand

-# Where the gay honeysuckle

-# Is luring the bee #

-We were on our way to Connemara.

-I found out more

-about Ireland's appeal...

-..and the influence

-of an early John Wayne film.

-I watched The Quiet Man

-with my father and family.

-I saw the scenery.

-Gareth, Gwynfor and I...

-..decided to go to Connemara.

-I've seen it.

-You're a big fan of the film.

-I've seen it over 100 times.

-I have two or three DVDs...

-..in case one gets damaged!

-I have a back-up!

-Your specialized Mastermind subject

-would be The Quiet Man!

-I'd score quite highly.

-That's Galway Bay.

-Do you know the song?

-# If you ever go across the sea

-# To Ireland

-# Then maybe

-in the closing of your day

-# You can sit

-and watch the moonlight

-# Over Claddagh

-# And see the sun go down

-# On Galway Bay #

-We can sing that tonight.

-They'll ask me to sing it.

-I won't getaway with not singing it.

-Spiddal, in the Gaeltacht,

-is a stone's throw from Galway.

-It took no time at all

-for Wil to get us a gig.

-A traditional night

-is about to start here.

-The band has agreed to accompany us

-to sing The Fields Of Athenry.

-I'm nervous.

-It's such an iconic song.

-They'll know every word.

-I hope I remember the words

-and do it justice.

-Wil and I felt at home...

-..until the tavern fell silent...

-..and it was time

-for two nervous Welshmen...

-..to sing a famous Irish folk song.

-# By a lonely prison wall

-# I heard a young girl calling

-# Michael

-# They have taken you away

-# For you stole Trevelyn's corn

-# So the young might see the morn

-# Now a prison ship

-# Lies waiting in the bay

-# Low lie

-# The Fields Of Athenry

-# Where once we watched

-# The small free birds fly

-# Our love was on the wing

-# We had dreams and songs to sing

-# It's so lonely 'round

-the Fields Of Athenry

-# By a lonely prison wall

-# I heard a young man calling

-# Nothing matters Mary

-# When you're free

-# Against the Famine and the Crown

-# I rebelled, they ran me down

-# Now you must raise our child

-# With dignity

-# Low lie

-# The Fields Of Athenry

-# Where once we watched

-# The small free birds fly

-# Our love was on the wing

-# We had dreams and songs to sing

-# It's so lonely 'round

-the Fields Of Athenry #

-In Welsh now.

-# It's quiet now

-# In Esgair Llyn

-# Where once I learnt

-# The earth's song

-# My blood flows more rapidly

-# And the song is still alive

-# Wales has survived

-# In Esgair Llyn

-# It's so lonely

-'round the Fields Of Athenry #

-I think we had a getaway with that!

-That was an experience.

-There are more experiences

-coming up.

-Wil takes me to meet Peadar...

-..I get down to work,

-there's a donkey called Cymro...

-..and Wil sings

-one of his favourite songs.

-My journey with Wil Tan has

-taken me from a Menai Bridge pub...

-..to a tavern in Spiddal...

-..to meet the man whom he

-immortalized in "Connemara Express".

-# Come with me and the lads

-and Milo O'Shea

-# On the train to Connemara #

-I want you to meet a dear friend.

-His name is Pete,

-and we'll be cutting peat!

-You're pulling my leg again!

-You're pulling my leg again!

-

-He's expecting us.

-# We'll go on the peat-bog

-to savour the mountain dew

-# There we'll meet

-Peadar O'Finneadha

-# You won't get better company #

-Peadar.

-How are you?

-How are you?

-

-Well. And you?

-Welcome.

-Welcome.

-

-Thanks very much.

-Are you willing to do a bit of work?

-We'll see how it goes,

-after you meet Rhys Meirion.

-It's nice to meet you.

-It's nice to meet you.

-

-You're a good singer, not like me!

-You're the reason we're here.

-Without you, we wouldn't have

-Wil Tan, the singer.

-Somebody would have found him.

-Somebody would have found him.

-

-Are you sure?!

-How did you get to know him and why

-have you become such good friends?

-I met him on Easter Sunday

-a long time ago, in 1998.

-1989.

-I was coming to Galway.

-This fellow was hitching.

-I said to myself, he'd never

-get a lift on Easter Sunday.

-Everybody was in the pub.

-It's an old Irish tradition.

-I said to myself,

-I better give him a lift.

-I met him in the pub that night.

-Any time he came over since,

-he kept in contact.

-I went over a good few times.

-It was some wet day, and we had

-to leave work and went to the pub.

-"Being a Welshman,

-you must be able to sing," I said.

-He started singing

-and everybody went silent.

-It was Irish songs you sang...

-..The Rose Of Tralee, The Fields

-Of Athenry and Galway Bay.

-Everybody was delighted with him.

-Peadar soon put us to work.

-And we had a song, too.

-# Si do mhaimeo, si do mhaimeo

-i cailleach an airgid

-# Si do mhaimeao i

-o Bhail' Iorrais Mhoir i

-# S chuir-feadh si

-coisti 'r bhoithre Chois Fharraige

-# Measann tu bposfa,

-measann tu bposfa

-# Measann tu bposfa,

-cailleach an airgid?

-# Measann tu bposfa #

-I can't sing and work

-at the same time.

-Good beat to it.

-There's a song I used

-to hear over there.

-Ar Lan Y Mor. Can you sing it?

-Ar Lan Y Mor. Can you sing it?

-

-I'm sure Rhys can sing Ar Lan Y Mor.

-# By the seaside

-# There are red roses

-# By the seaside

-# There are white lilies

-# By the seaside

-# I'll find my sweetheart

-# She sleeps at night

-# And wakes in the morning #

-That one?

-That one?

-

-That's the one.

-Lovely song.

-You used to like Ar Lan Y Mor.

-I did.

-I always liked the beat of that one.

-It's hard work.

-Did you do that?!

-# If my little donkey

-refused to budge

-# Would I beat him? No, I wouldn't!#

-What is the name of the donkey?

-Cymro. We thought of calling

-him Wil Tan.

-Is he as stubborn as Wil?

-No, no.

-He's tame enough, you know.

-He's tame enough, you know.

-

-Well, Peadar.

-Thank you.

-THEY SPEAK GAELIC

-Thanks, Cymro.

-Thanks, Cymro.

-

-Thanks, Cymro.

-# I first saw Illinois

-# Nor time, nor tide,

-nor waters wide

-# Could wean my heart away

-# For ever true, it flies to you

-# My one dear Galway Bay #

-It was clear how important

-Ireland was to Wil.

-It continues to be to this day.

-What happened when he started

-to sing in Wales?

-My first gig was in the White Lion,

-the Conwy Valley.

-I was terrified.

-I didn't want to do it.

-I almost pulled out.

-I was a nervous wreck.

-How did they hear about you?

-I recorded Aelwyd Fy Mam.

-I heard it at home.

-We had Hogia'r Deulyn's single.

-# I remember

-# When I was a child

-# In my mother's home #

-It got lost in the house.

-I didn't hear it for years.

-Twenty, thirty years passed.

-I remembered it was a nice song.

-That was the first song I recorded.

-It put me on the map.

-MY MOTHER'S HOME

-# I remember

-# When I was a child

-# In my mother's home

-# She always looked after me

-# And protected me from harm

-# When I was poorly with a fever

-# Pale and weak

-# And suffering

-# Mother sat by my bedside

-# Lighting up my darkest night

-# I remember being broken-hearted

-# And feeling

-that I had been let down

-# Mother was the first

-# To wipe away my tears

-# She tried her best to console me

-# She taught me chapter and verse

-# She took me to Sunday school

-# She wanted me

-to have a firm footing

-# Safe on the narrow path

-# My mother taught me everything

-# About the Saviour on the Cross

-# Despite all my sins

-# He has secured

-# A place in my life forever more

-# We give thanks

-to the mothers of the earth

-# Who sacrificed

-the flower of their youth

-# She guided me on my journey

-# And taught me about Calvary

-# She guided me on my journey

-# And taught me about

-# Calvary #

-Coming up, we return

-to Anglesey for a few surprises.

-Wil's unexpected love of nature...

-..an unexpected journey

-back to his childhood...

-..and an unexpected duet.

-I'm in Anglesey

-and on my way to meet Wil.

-He asked me to bring wellies.

-I've no idea

-what he has planned for me.

-We'll find out now.

-# The wheat was yellow

-# In the meadows at Plas #

-With songs like "Llandegfan", Wil's

-home is clearly important to him.

-His love of nature and the outdoors

-stems from his rural upbringing.

-I'm sure Wil will forgive me

-for showing this film of him!

-Or is it Rambo?

-He's helping in the harvest.

-Wil took me to the fields by

-his home, to search for something.

-There they are.

-There they are.

-

-Can you see them?

-Yes, by the hedge.

-The small, white flowers.

-Have you seen cow parsley

-on the roadside this time of year?

-This is from the same family.

-Right.

-You're like Gerallt Pennant

-and Iolo Williams!

-I've been very interested in things

-like this since I was about eight.

-It's quite difficult to find.

-My grandfather was a sailor.

-He wasn't interested in nature.

-My father didn't read much.

-But he knew all the plants' names,

-in Welsh and English.

-Here it is, jackpot!

-Here it is, jackpot!

-

-It's a big one.

-I won't ask you to eat it.

-I won't ask you to eat it.

-

-I'll eat a little.

-Are you sure it's alright?

-I've eaten a lot.

-It's not poisonous.

-It's not poisonous.

-

-You're not pulling my leg!

-No. It's the same family

-as parsnips and carrots.

-Some are sweet, others bitter.

-That's quite sweet.

-It's quite nice.

-Yes.

-Who'd have thought?

-I hope you won't be ill.

-I hope you won't be ill.

-

-Yes.

-Or the duets will be terrible!

-Or the duets will be terrible!

-

-I'll sound better than you!

-Notice I haven't eaten any.

-LAUGHTER

-I've never eaten pignuts before.

-It was also a surprise to see

-Wil's nature diaries from the 1970s.

-He told me a very sad,

-life-changing story from those days.

-When I was young...

-..I wanted to have a career

-connected to the world of nature.

-I planned to do a forestry course

-in college in Penrith.

-But my best friend

-was killed in a bike accident.

-I lost my way after John was killed.

-It was just down the road.

-I don't know what happened.

-I don't know what happened.

-

-That would upset anyone.

-I wasn't too good in Mathematics.

-You had to have it

-to go to this college.

-You're still interested

-in nature as a hobby.

-Yes, I'd be lost without it.

-# Good times #

-Wil was turning out

-to be full of surprises.

-It was time for me to surprise him.

-I steered the conversation

-to a place very dear to Wil...

-..his old home, Drws Y Coed.

-Drws Y Coed.

-You've heard about Drws Y Coed.

-It's important to you.

-It's important to you.

-

-Yes.

-My father worked there

-for fifty years.

-I have sheepdogs buried there.

-A lot of our history is there.

-If you agree,

-we've arranged to go there.

-I know you haven't

-been back for years.

-Is it alright with you?

-I'd love to go there.

-You can show me the place

-and tell me about it.

-I don't know

-how I'll feel going back.

-Do you want a hanky?

-Do you want a hanky?

-

-Maybe!

-Come on.

-Come on.

-

-Great.

-# I hear the cuckoo sing

-# On Mynydd Bodafon

-# Where the sweet gorse grows

-# At the foot of Arwydd Fawr #

-Goodness, it's changed.

-It's different.

-# On Mynydd Bodafon #

-Drws Y Coed was Wil's home

-for almost 25 years...

-..as a child and young man

-in his twenties.

-He lived here when his father

-worked as a chauffeur for the owner.

-# A comfort to me #

-Well.

-Here we are.

-It's nice.

-It's nice.

-

-Yes.

-I'd sing here.

-The acoustics are good.

-The acoustics are good.

-

-Excellent.

-I had arranged one more surprise.

-I had arranged one more surprise.

-

-This is the old study.

-I spent a lot of time here.

-The old panels are exactly the same.

-The old panels are exactly the same.

-

-Right.

-We thought there was

-a hidden door here...

-..leading to another world.

-I hear you're an Elvis fan.

-Yes. I had no choice,

-Mam and Dad listened to him.

-He was always on the record player.

-He was always on the record player.

-

-Look what I have here.

-Goodness.

-This is the duet I've chosen.

-Right.

-We'll listen, to see if you like it.

-It means something to you.

-It means something to you.

-

-Yes.

-I'll tell you the story later.

-# Can't you see, I love you

-# Please don't break my heart in two

-# That's not hard to do

-# 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart

-# And if you say goodbye

-# Then I know that I would cry

-# Maybe I would die

-# 'Cause I don't have

-a wooden heart #

-That's it.

-I don't know if you knew

-it's originally a German folksong...

-..Muss I Denn.

-I'd like to do a version of the

-original song as a duet with you.

-Good.

-There's a personal reason

-for choosing it.

-I wouldn't be here if it wasn't

-for Elvis and "Wooden Heart".

-Mam and Dad quarrelled

-and had broken up.

-They were sitting in a car park

-in Dolgellau, tears flowing.

-Mam put the radio on

-in the old Morris 1,000.

-Elvis was singing "Wooden Heart".

-Their hearts melted.

-They got back together.

-I wouldn't be here if not for him!

-That song would melt any heart.

-That song would melt any heart.

-

-Exactly.

-What do you think of the song?

-What do you think of the song?

-

-It's the perfect song.

-I look forward

-to singing it with you...

-..and practising some German too.

-Great.

-Before heading to the studio

-to practise German...

-..Wil wanted to walk round

-the gardens once more and reminisce.

-There were five of us children.

-We played here all summer,

-round the back.

-My father would tell us

-to play in the fields.

-Were you brought up

-in the country, in the fresh air?

-Yes.

-There were a lot

-of trees in Tremadog.

-You mentioned climbing trees.

-I loved doing that.

-Dangerous!

-Dangerous!

-

-Yes.

-I went to the top,

-which was swaying...

-..and stuck my head above the top.

-I'm afraid of heights now,

-but not at that time, oddly.

-Yes.

-One quiet corner

-brought everything back to Wil.

-Goodness,

-they've left the gravestone.

-Well.

-Gelert, my sheepdog.

-Did you write that?

-Did you write that?

-

-Yes.

-He was...

-..my old mate.

-When was that?

-He lived to be 18.

-It's quite old for a sheepdog.

-What's written underneath?

-What's written underneath?

-

-I don't remember what I wrote.

-It's worn away.

-Old friend, I think.

-I can make out some of the letters.

-My father retired, but he still

-came here from time to time.

-Gelert walked here on his own

-every day from Llandegfan.

-He was back by teatime.

-We didn't live here.

-He just wandered about.

-He's still here.

-Fair play to them

-for keeping the stone.

-Yes.

-Take a photo with your camera.

-Beddgelert, Gelert's grave.

-Beddgelert, Gelert's grave.

-

-Yes.

-# Got to go

-# Got to leave this town

-# And you, my dear, stay here #

-"Wenn i wiederum komm."

-"Wenn i wiederum komm."

-

-Yes.

-"Wiederum, wiederum komm"

-is correct too, a German told me.

-# Wiederum, wiederum komm #

-That isn't incorrect

-and it's easier to sing.

-He says it's not wrong.

-He says it's not wrong.

-

-OK.

-# Wiederum, wiederum komm

-# Kehr i ein, mein Schatz, bei dir #

-He told me that

-and I checked it too.

-He asked me if I'd like the job.

-They were recruiting.

-I went on the course and passed it.

-Those were different times.

-There were many more fires.

-Houses are safer now.

-We're coming to a room on the right.

-BANGING

-I was just thinking...

-..in a situation like that...

-..it takes a special sort of person.

-You're quite...

-..I'm not sure

-what the word is, laid back, cool.

-There.

-Shut the door.

-A highly strung person would be

-no use in that kind of scenario.

-They'd probably panic.

-You must be calm.

-Yes.

-But training gets rid of that.

-People with that kind

-of personality won't make the grade.

-You've been trained.

-It comes naturally to you.

-Hold him under his arm.

-Out we go.

-I'm sure the work

-gives you great satisfaction.

-Yes, it does.

-People are very happy

-and grateful to see us arrive.

-That makes you feel

-better when you leave.

-You've done your bit.

-But of course, it's a job.

-You get paid and have to do it.

-You're a modest person.

-It's more than a job,

-it's a vocation.

-You have to like the job.

-I've been here for over 30 years.

-I'd have left if I hated the job.

-But I'm still here.

-If I pass the annual medical,

-I'll stay.

-Oh!

-Well done!

-We rescued two!

-What did you make of that?

-Fair play, I admire you lads!

-It's hot.

-All in a day's work.

-Did you enjoy it?

-I enjoyed the feeling.

-I felt a kind of thrill,

-just pulling a dummy out.

-It must be a thrill for you,

-to pull out a real person.

-It is. The adrenalin pumps

-and everything happens quickly.

-Are you glad you did it?

-Are you glad you did it?

-

-I enjoyed every second.

-Many thanks for the experience.

-Many thanks for the experience.

-

-You're welcome.

-Oh!

-Singing is easier!

-Maybe. I don't know!

-Easier for you, perhaps.

-SINGING

-We returned to the studio

-for the last time.

-There's only one more song,

-Wil's choice.

-# Amen #

-He's very easy

-to get on with and natural.

-There's nothing pompous about him.

-I've only known him

-for a short time...

-..but I'd call him a friend.

-# Amen #

-That was champion.

-That was champion.

-

-Yes.

-Are you happy?

-Are you happy?

-

-Yes.

-Are you happy?

-Wil, we're nearing

-the end of the programme.

-I've enjoyed every minute of your

-company and getting to know you.

-I didn't know you before.

-I enjoyed every moment.

-We have one more duet.

-Why did you choose

-"Iesu, Iesu, 'Rwyt Ti'n Ddigon"?

-My wife, Ceri,

-likes David Lloyd a great deal...

-..and that song most of all.

-I've seen her in tears

-listening to it.

-# Jesus, Jesus

-# Thou my only pleasure #

-I'm glad you chose it.

-I think the world of David Lloyd.

-He's one of my heroes.

-You've chosen

-a very special place to sing it.

-Yes, Llandegfan Church

-is close to my heart.

-My grandparents lived in Tan

-Y Fynwent, next to the graveyard.

-My father was called

-John Tan Y Fynwent.

-My grandfather

-was Wil Tan Y Fynwent.

-Singing there

-is very important to me.

-My father would have

-been very happy.

-I have a lot of links to the church.

-I look forward to singing with you.

-I look forward to singing with you.

-

-Great. Me too.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

-

-Thank you.

-# Jesus, Jesus -

-thou my only pleasure

-# Naught like thee

-this world contains

-# In thy name is greater treasure

-# Than in India's golden plains

-# All completely

-# All completely

-# Jesus's love for me obtains

-# Fair and ruddy is my Lord

-# Fair and ruddy is his countenance

-# King of the kings is he

-# Here and yonder side of the grave

-# Thy fairness

-# Thy fairness

-# Has won me back to thee

-# Jesus, lovely is the aspect

-# Of thy gracious face divine

-# Eye hath seen no fairer object

-# On this beauteous world of thine

-# Rose of Sharon

-# Rose of Sharon

-# Heaven's glories in the shine

-# Rose of Sharon

-# Rose of Sharon

-# Heaven's glories in thee shine #
