-That was Catrin Mai Edwards...

-..opening the song from a

-musical competition.

-Iddon Alaw, you are well

-versed in musicals.

-What did you think of her

-interpretation?

-It's great to see her so confident.

-She was a ray of sunshine

-on that stage.

-It was a beautiful performance.

-Manon Elis, as an actress

-you know about showing emotion.

-I am not a singer.

-But this is one of my

-favourite competitions.

-I also love to go and see musicals.

-I thought it was an excellent

-performance.

-The next competitor

-is Gwion Morris Jones.

-He will be singing Rhian Mair Jones'

-translation of Always Starting Over.

-It's from If/Then.

-# Yn fy myw, feddyliais 'rioed

-That was Gwion Morris Jones from

-Ysgol Uwchradd Syr Thomas Jones.

-I haven't heard of the musical

-he's chosen to perform - If/Then.

-It was an emotional performance.

-It was an honest performance

-which came from the heart.

-Sometimes it's difficult to

-sing a specific song...

-..outside the context of

-the musical.

-I thought it was a lovely

-performance.

-He was very natural.

-I am surprised how young

-these competitors are.

-They are still in school.

-A lovely natural voice.

-They are performing to a large

-audience in the pavilion.

-People watching on television

-must remember that.

-Sometimes on television

-it can seem like overacting.

-It's time for a break now.

-Welcome back to Flint.

-We are enjoying highlights

-of this evening's competitions.

-We have seen two competitors in the

-Song from a Musical competition.

-The final competitor in the Song

-from a Musical competition...

-..is Caitlin Drake.

-She's singing a Welsh translation

-of Maybe This Time from Cabaret.

-# Fallai'r tro hwn mod i'n lwcus

-# Fallai'r tro hwn y tro cyntaf

-# Ni red cariad i ffwrdd

-# Gwnaiff fy nal yn dynn,

-bydd fy myd yn wyn

-# Nid rhyw gollwraig ddigon plaen

-# Pawb yn caru'r sawl sy'n ennill

-# Ni ddoi cariad i'm rhan

-# Byw yn dawel, byw yn hapus

-# Fallai cawn yn y man

-# Nawr mae pethau'n bleidiol i mi

-# Troi mae'r nos yn brynhawn

-# Rhaid iddo ddigwydd, iddo ddigwydd

-# Fallai'r tro hwn, yn iawn!

-# Pawb yn caru'r sawl sy'n ennill

-# Ni ddoi cariad i'm rhan

-# Byw yn dawel, byw yn hapus

-# Fallai cawn yn y man

-# Nawr mae pethau'n bleidiol i mi

-# Troi mae'r nos yn brynhawn

-# Rhaid iddo ddigwydd, iddo ddigwydd

-# Fallai'r tro hwn

-# Fallai'r tro hwn, yn iawn! #

-That was Caitlin Drake singing

-Maybe This Time from Cabaret.

-She is a local girl.

-For a young girl, she

-has an old soul.

-We are all sitting here

-open mouthed.

-She was excellent.

-She really was able to

-tell the story.

-She did that in a simple way.

-What we saw there was brilliant.

-It was even better

-live in the pavilion.

-Everyone was transfixed.

-She sang in a much older

-way than her years.

-The song really reached our hearts.

-That proves

-it was a Good Performance.

-It was a thrilling performance.

-I got a chill down my

-spine, again and again.

-She is a very talented young woman.

-We're looking forward to

-hear more from her.

-Let's find out what the

-judges thought.

-The winner is Caitlin Drake,

-Ysgol Uwchradd Morgan Llwyd.

-Here is the full result

-of the competition.

-Many congratulations to Caitlin.

-You've won again this year.

-Next year for the hat-trick.

-I hope so but I'm moving

-down to London.

-I've Been Accepted on a course.

-I'm concentrating on acting.

-They give us a lot of

-one-to-one tuition.

-I will still be singing.

-We'll see you next year

-and congratulations.

-We move on now to the Monologue

-competition under 19 years of age.

-The first competitor

-is Llio Martha Alun.

-"Mam! I know the names

-of all the books of the Bible.

-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers,

-Leviticus, Deuteronium...

-..and Matthew, Mark, Luke, John

-and Job, Titus and Timothy...

-..Ezra, Nehemiah and the Psalms.

-Can I come out of my room now?

-Why are you punishing me?

-I tried my best.

-Until I was soaked to the skin.

-"Learn them, you little madam."

-"They left Dophkah

-and camped at Alush."

-"They left Alush

-and camped at Rephidim."

-"They left Rephidim

-and camped in the Desert of Sinai."

-That's not good enough.

-Not good enough!

-Not good enough!

-You're a murderer!

-A murderer!

-We were late coming home one night.

-We'd been playing.

-We forgot the time.

-It had started getting dark.

-And instead of going the long way

-I decided to cross the river.

-"Come on", I said, "On my back."

-# Gee ceffyl bach #

-"It'll be faster."

-But the current was too strong.

-And I slipped.

-And as I tried to steady myself

-I let go of Tomos...

-..and he was carried off

-by the water.

-They found him five hours later.

-Dead.

-And ever since

-I have been carrying eternal guilt.

-And I'm still being punished today.

-By Mam and her God.

-And even though Mam died...

-..she came back inside me,

-blaming me the time.

-And God never dies.

-But worse than that even,

-I punish myself.

-That was Llio Martha Alun.

-She opened the monologue

-competition.

-Her choice was an extract from Lush.

-You are a former winner.

-It's difficult to interpret a small

-extract in a short space of time.

-I think she did a great job.

-She conveyed the tension

-very well...

-..and also the guilt.

-It's so hard to take one

-extract out of a play.

-You only have a few

-minutes to tell a story.

-In the pavilion...

-..the audience had to take a few

-minutes to get their bearings.

-It's such a difficult competition.

-Even in the dancing competitions,

-there was a bit of an introduction.

-I think these competitors

-should be introduced...

-..with a little bit of

-background to their performance.

-That would allow the audience

-to enjoy the performance more.

-We could then concentrate

-on the performance.

-I thought it was an effective

-performance.

-She really did show the guilt

-that the character was carrying.

-I thought it was effective.

-More competitions after the break.

-Subtitles

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-We will now continue

-with the monologue competition.

-Cadi Jones from Ysgol Bro Pedr

-is the second competitor.

-She has chosen an extract from

-Shirley Valentine by Willy Russell.

-On the day of the show,

-I went down to the school.

-The show started

-and everything was going lovely.

-The angels came on, all giving their

-mothers a sly wave of the hand.

-And then came our Brian's turn.

-There he was, on the stage,

-acting as best he could...

-..as if he was going to win

-an Oscar.

-By now, Brian gets to the inn.

-"Knock, knock, knock", he says,

-and the innkeeper appears.

-"We are travellers on our way

-to Bethlehem" Brian said.

-"My wife is expecting a baby.

-Is there room in the inn?"

-The innkeeper opens his mouth "I'm

-sorry, there is no room at the inn".

-"The inn is full".

-Brian was supposed to say

-something like...

-.."We'll go and find a stable

-for the night."

-But he didn't.

-I don't know why.

-Maybe Mary had started

-to get on his nerves...

-..by waving to her mother

-throughout the scene.

-Or perhaps he had realised that

-Joseph wasn't such a big part.

-But whatever it was, instead of

-leaving with Mary and the donkey...

-..he turned to the innkeeper

-and shouted...

-.."What? You're full! Full!

-But we have booked!"

-The innkeeper didn't know

-what to do, poor thing.

-He looked around the room

-hoping someone will help him.

-His lip starts to wobble

-and Brian is still shouting...

-.."Full? Look, sonny, my wife

-and donkey are outside...

-"she is about to give birth

-any minute...

-"..we're up to our ears in snow

-and you're telling me you're full!"

-Finally, the innkeeper realises the

-script has gone out of the window...

-..and that he should do something

-to stop Brian.

-He opens his mouth and says "Listen,

-mate, I was only pulling your leg...

-"There's plenty of room here. You

-can come in now if you want to".

-The three of them disappear

-into the inn.

-It was in all the papers.

-"Mary and Joseph

-don't get to Bethlehem"

-It was so embarrassing.

-That was Cadi Jones

-in the monologue competition.

-That piece was a complete

-contrast to the first piece.

-Do you think she succeeded

-in her interpretation?

-Yes, I think so.

-She created the comic

-character straight away.

-You realised straight away

-there was less tension.

-She spoke very clearly.

-Conveying comedy well

-can be very difficult.

-She was also portraying a character

-considerably older than her age.

-I think she did very well.

-The next and final competitor

-is Annest Mair Jones.

-Annest has chosen to perform

-Anna's monologue...

-..from Beth Oedd Enw Ci Tintin

-by Aled Jones Williams.

-"Mam! You've come downstairs.

-"I've told you time and again

-not to come downstairs.

-"Your life is in the bedroom now.

-"You'll catch another cold.

-Or you'll fall and break your leg.

-"And who will have to look after you

-afterwards...

-"Me! Me!

-"You've had egg and chips."

-What more do you want?

-The skin on her neck...

-..hangs like the skin from the

-backside of a chicken from Tesco.

-Skin like crepe paper.

-An ugly yellow.

-Yellow like a custard cream.

-And I squeeze.

-And squeeze.

-And squeeze.

-And she's on the floor,

-just like a broken vase.

-And I realize that I've rehearsed

-this so many times...

-..that I know exactly what to do.

-I take her pension money from

-her bag and put it in my purse.

-I go out.

-I walk to the piece of wasteland...

-..where the old typewriter factory

-used to be.

-I throw the bag into nowhere.

-I go to town.

-I buy a pair of Eco shoes

-with the money.

-I remember

-the shop assistant's words.

-"Do you want the box...?"

-That was Annest Mair Jones.

-She was the final competitor

-in this competition.

-I thought that was another

-strong performance.

-She had really got under

-the skin of the character.

-It was very powerful.

-People often choose pieces

-from Aled Jones Williams' plays.

-He creates very complex characters.

-But they are very resonant of

-the world we know.

-We recognise the themes that

-arise in his work.

-We can relate to the themes

-that he writes about.

-Let's return to the stage

-to find out the result.

-Here is the result

-of the Monologue competition.

-In first place, Annest Mair Jones

-from Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern.

-Here is confirmation of that result

-in full.

-You have been very busy this week.

-You were volunteering with the

-digital side of things this week.

-But people will be taking

-photographs of you now!

-I normally go for a lighter piece.

-I wanted to set myself a challenge

-with this extract this year.

-Good luck to you tomorrow.

-We have one competition left -

-the Group Theatrical Performance.

-Ysgol Uwchradd Brynhyfryd

-will be the first group on stage.

-They spoke about Owain Glyndwr

-in their presentation.

-Welcome to the Senedd building

-in Cardiff Bay.

-The dream was realised.

-This building is sustainable and

-made from wood and slate from Wales.

-It is also heated

-in a sustainable fashion.

-The Senedd is a symbol of

-sustainability and devolution.

-Welcome to the new democracy.

-This is devolution at work

-and you are part of it.

-I have a Masters in governance,

-discipline and information.

-Is this a good place to work?

-We know a lot of people who have

-moved here to work from our area.

-It's a superb place.

-Diverting. Devolution at work.

-It all looks to be centred here

-to me. Who actually works here?

-Administrative officials.

-Typing officers.

-Support staff.

-Sustainability officials.

-More support staff.

-And P.D. Staff.

-P.D. Staff?

-Pob Dim (everything) staff.

-No!

-North, east, west and south.

-Every part of Wales!

-Did you get a look

-at the modern Wales, Owain?

-Yes, very quickly.

-I saw individuals making people

-aware of their responsibilities.

-I saw an assembly... in Cardiff.

-Is there hope?

-There is, Merlin.

-We must let them out of the cave,

-out into the daylight.

-Ynyr, keep away from that cliff.

-You're not a mountain goat.

-You're very quiet, Dewi.

-Nothing to say?

-I don't know what's wrong.

-I feel as if I've been on a journey.

-You'd think I was bonkers.

-I've had an idea... a stadium.

-Like the one in Cardiff.

-A huge one, here in North Wales...

-..where people come to

-watch rugby, football, anything.

-What will you call it?

-Stadiwm Owain Glyndwr.

-How did you know that?

-Everyone back on the bus.

-Hello and welcome back

-to our extra programme this evening.

-We are in the middle of the Group

-Theatrical Performances.

-We have already seen the performance

-of Ysgol Brynhyfryd.

-Next to compete

-is Ysgol Gyfun Bro Edern.

-Their theme was war and peace.

-No, I want to play Team Death Match,

-Call of Duty.

-Really?

-Shut up, I'll contact Tom.

-Shut up, I'll contact Tom.

-

-Yes, Con?

-Get online.

-We're going to play Call of Duty.

-They're coming, boys.

-This is the end! It has arrived.

-Be quiet, will you?

-Remember, don't reveal anything.

-Remember, don't reveal anything.

-

-Yes, sir!

-Don't make them angry.

-Really, why do we want that idiot

-to play?

-Polite?

-Be polite to them

-and they'll be polite back.

-What planet are you from?

-They are going to kill us.

-I'm going out there,

-I'm not staying here to die.

-This is a battle, lads,

-not a game of hide and seek.

-What do you see

-when you close your eyes?

-If you breathe in deeply

-what do you smell?

-I see everything

-And Hear Everything.

-Skin burning and uniforms burning.

-The smell of dead bodies

-and blood mixed with the rain.

-Why me, Lord?

-Why me?

-Why now?

-# Colli tad a cholli mab

-# Colli ffrind, colli cariad

-# Pam 'oedd rhaid i ti fynd

-# I ryfel i frwydro dros dy wlad

-# I'r gad, i'r gad #

-According to recent statistics,

-more soldiers...

-..suffer from Post Traumatic Stress

-Disorder and commit suicide...

-..than have died on the battlefield.

-Soldiers prepare to die

-whilst training.

-Soldiers continue to die

-on the battlefield.

-Young men continue to fight

-for the vision of their countries...

-..and to protect other countries.

-War is still glorified.

-Innocent people continue to die.

-When is the world going to wake up?

-That was their interpretation

-of war and peace.

-We saw a very different performance

-from Ysgol Brynhyfryd.

-It was the story of Owain Glyndwr.

-It was a comment on bureaucracy.

-So many people are still battling

-for the language and our country.

-It really reminded the audience that

-the Welsh language is still healthy.

-I'm sure the children have a lot of

-input into these performances...

-..but they are led well.

-The last presentation

-was very different.

-It's very difficult to compare them.

-Brynhyfryd had a more

-tongue-in-cheek performance.

-There wasn't any humour

-in Bro Edern's performance.

-These were young people

-looking to their futures.

-They were worried about

-the prospect of war.

-People are affected

-throughout their lives by war.

-One more group remains.

-The next group to appear

-is Ysgol Gyfun Rhydywaun.

-One, two.

-One, two.

-One, two.

-July 23rd, 2011.

-She died...

-She died...

-

-Amy Winehouse.

-Alcohol.

-She was 27.

-# Diwedd y daith

-# Fe ddaeth i ben

-# Diwedd y daith

-# Fe ddaeth i ben

-# Fy ffrind #

-July 3rd, 1971.

-Le Marais, Paris. I died.

-In a bath, in water,

-without anyone or anything.

-That was Ysgol Gyfun Rhydywaun...

-..closing the Group Theatrical

-Performance competition.

-The scene with the mobile phones

-was very powerful.

-These are such deep,

-meaningful themes.

-The audience were really

-struck by the themes...

-..and how young the performers are.

-These performances

-have been excellent.

-They have done a great job.

-Many people have died

-at the age of 27.

-It's good to see depression being

-discussed a lot more in the media.

-We have the result for you now.

-These are Ysgol Rhydywaun.

-You have just won the group

-theatrical performance.

-We went to San Francisco

-for two drama workshops.

-We also saw what San Francisco

-and LA have to offer.

-The theme for your performance

-was waking up.

-Many congratulations.

-You certainly woke us up!

-We have another result for you.

-This is the Mixed Medley Dance

-Years 7 and under 19 competition.

-In third place,

-Adran Amlwch, Anglesey.

-In second place, Rhosllanerchrugog,

-Maelor Fflint a Wrecsam.

-The winners were Ysgol Gyfun

-Penweddig, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion.

-That brings the evening's

-entertainment to an end.

-I would like to thank my guests,

-Iddon Alaw and Manon Elis.

-The time has flown by.

-Good luck with Rownd a Rownd.

-Good luck for the next 18 months!

-I will be here tomorrow at 7.30pm

-with all of Friday's highlights.

-Our eisteddfod coverage starts

-at 10.00am tomorrow morning...

-..and continues throughout the day.

-I will be here tomorrow at 7.30pm

-with all of Friday's highlights.

-We leave you
