-Hello and a warm welcome to you.

0:00:080:00:10

-It's wonderful to be back on S4C...

0:00:110:00:14

-..with a brand-new series

-that runs for the next eight weeks.

0:00:140:00:19

-I'll be joined by many friends...

0:00:200:00:23

-..who joined me on my series'

-from the 1980s and 1990s.

0:00:240:00:29

-We'll see how they have changed

-in that time.

0:00:300:00:34

-I'll also introduce you to

-a new talent in every programme...

0:00:350:00:40

-..who could be a star of the future.

0:00:400:00:43

-My first guests are two of

-the members of the group, Cwlwm...

0:00:440:00:50

-..Shan Cothi and Eleri Twynog

-and I think I can hear them now.

0:00:500:00:56

-Yoo-hoo? Margaret?

0:00:560:00:59

-Hello, how are you?

-It's been such a long time.

0:00:590:01:03

-Hello, Eleri. How are you?

0:01:030:01:06

-Come into my grand house.

0:01:060:01:09

-Come into my grand house.

-

-We will with pleasure.

0:01:090:01:10

-It's lovely.

0:01:110:01:12

-There were five members in the band,

-Cwlwm, but who were the other three?

0:01:130:01:19

-There was Delyth Medi...

0:01:200:01:22

-..who now teaches music

-at Ysgol Glantaf in Cardiff.

0:01:220:01:26

-We had Elin Jones who is now

-an Assembly Member for Plaid Cymru.

0:01:260:01:32

-Hedydd now teaches Welsh

-in Lampeter Secondary School.

0:01:330:01:37

-You've all done well

-but how did it all start?

0:01:380:01:41

-It seemed natural.

0:01:420:01:43

-We had an excellent teacher at

-school called Delyth Hopkin Evans.

0:01:440:01:48

-Four of us were studying A level

-Music and Elin was our friend.

0:01:480:01:53

-There wasn't a lot of groups

-at that time, but when was this?

0:01:540:01:59

-Was it 1984?

0:02:000:02:02

-Was it 1984?

-

-We left school in 1984.

0:02:020:02:05

-We were in the Sixth Form together

-and were always singing in lessons.

0:02:060:02:11

-Andrew O'Neill also came

-to teach Scripture in the school.

0:02:130:02:18

-Do you remember that the

-National Eisteddfod was in Lampeter?

0:02:190:02:22

-Before that, he worked on

-Dechrau Canu, Dechrau Canmol.

0:02:230:02:26

-Dechrau Canu, Dechrau Canmol was

-in Lampeter and he asked us to sing.

0:02:270:02:33

-That's where it started.

0:02:330:02:35

-That's where it started.

-

-It was Cwlwm's first performance.

0:02:350:02:38

-I had a hideous black and white

-dress. It was like a draughts board.

0:02:380:02:43

-Do you remember appearing

-on my series in the 1990s?

0:02:440:02:49

-Your dress wasn't like a draughts

-board but let's take a look.

0:02:500:02:56

-# If I take and you take and

-nobody is willing to give anything

0:02:580:03:05

-# If everyone follows the same path

-and nobody is willing to turn back

0:03:050:03:12

-# It would all be an empty dream

0:03:120:03:16

-# And the crossed words are in vain

0:03:160:03:19

-# A pearl has its protection

-when it's thrown into the sea

0:03:200:03:27

-# Turn your head, walk away

0:03:270:03:30

-# What is one voice

-amidst a hundred?

0:03:330:03:35

-# You're not the only one to blame

0:03:360:03:39

-# When everybody else's eyes

-are still closed

0:03:390:03:44

-# But the day will come

-when it's all too much

0:03:440:03:48

-# When you're no longer willing

0:03:480:03:51

-# At that time, who knows?

0:03:520:03:56

-# It could be too late #

0:03:560:03:59

-That was beautiful. You sounded

-amazing and looked so innocent!

0:04:000:04:06

-That's changed.

0:04:060:04:07

-That's changed.

-

-We're still innocent!

0:04:070:04:09

-I'm glad you thought

-we sounded alright.

0:04:100:04:13

-It's better if we close our eyes!

0:04:130:04:16

-The harmony was beautiful.

-Who wrote that song?

0:04:170:04:20

-It's odd

-because I never write anything.

0:04:210:04:24

-Did you write that?

0:04:240:04:26

-Did you write that?

-

-I think so.

0:04:260:04:27

-Elin composed the lyrics

-and I potched around with a melody.

0:04:280:04:32

-I haven't composed anything

-since then!

0:04:330:04:35

-You could have a new career!

0:04:360:04:38

-You could have a new career!

-

-Yes, you should start.

0:04:380:04:40

-Do you still perform as Cwlwm?

0:04:410:04:45

-We hadn't for a long time but we did

-a small concert over Christmas.

0:04:450:04:51

-Yes, it was a concert at the church

-in Lampeter.

0:04:520:04:55

-Every Christmas, we used to sing

-in the church for Christian Aid.

0:04:560:05:01

-This year marked 25 years

-and we were invited to perform.

0:05:010:05:06

-How did it go?

0:05:060:05:07

-How did it go?

-

-It went surprisingly well.

0:05:070:05:09

-We met four hours before the concert

-at Hedydd's house in Lampeter...

0:05:100:05:14

-..to choose our songs.

0:05:140:05:16

-It was a carol service

-so we chose the classics...

0:05:160:05:20

-..and it all came back to us.

0:05:200:05:23

-We remembered the breathing and

-phrasing. We did it instinctively.

0:05:240:05:30

-It was a wonderful experience

-to sing together again.

0:05:300:05:34

-The memories flooded back.

0:05:350:05:37

-The memories flooded back.

-

-It was wonderful.

0:05:370:05:38

-I remember first singing with you

-in the studio.

0:05:390:05:42

-You sang that song and did

-backing vocals on a track with me.

0:05:430:05:47

-We were experts at that!

0:05:480:05:50

-We were experts at that!

-

-The song was called Ti a Fi.

0:05:500:05:52

-I remember your vocals because the

-sopranos had some very high notes.

0:05:520:05:56

-I turned to see you and Delyth Medi.

0:05:570:06:00

-I turned to see you and Delyth Medi.

-

-We were the top sopranos.

0:06:000:06:02

-It sounded amazing and

-the song was recorded for an album.

0:06:030:06:08

-Let's remind ourselves of that song.

0:06:080:06:12

-# Here we are, the pair of us

0:06:130:06:18

-# Through the dark hours

-of the night

0:06:190:06:25

-# When I met you

0:06:250:06:31

-# You and I became one

0:06:310:06:37

-# Every dawn and dusk

0:06:400:06:45

-# From day to day

0:06:460:06:51

-# You are my life

0:06:530:06:58

-# When I met you

0:06:580:07:04

-# You and I became one

0:07:040:07:10

-# You and I became one #

0:07:110:07:16

-Oh, I'd forgotten all about that

-but it's all come back to me now.

0:07:170:07:21

-It's odd how a clip

-can bring back so many memories.

0:07:220:07:26

-I loved the harmonies of your group

-so you should sing again together.

0:07:270:07:32

-It's difficult because

-we all have different jobs...

0:07:320:07:36

-..but there's a worry

-that we won't be good enough.

0:07:370:07:41

-Will our voices blend

-or what if I start to wobble?

0:07:410:07:46

-It's over if I start

-singing like that!

0:07:460:07:50

-It's been wonderful

-to have you with me.

0:07:500:07:53

-I've got many fond memories because

-I thought the world of Cwlwm.

0:07:540:07:58

-You're exceptionally busy

-but do you still go riding, Shan?

0:07:590:08:04

-Yes, Caio is still with me

-and wants to be remembered to you.

0:08:040:08:08

-He's ready to take you for a spin

-around Ogmore Beach.

0:08:090:08:13

-That's quite an honour.

0:08:140:08:16

-That's quite an honour.

-

-You'll have to help me.

0:08:160:08:17

-I'll sit on the back.

0:08:170:08:19

-I'll sit on the back.

-

-I'll get you a sidecar!

0:08:190:08:21

-Thank you and send my best wishes

-to the other three.

0:08:220:08:27

-Earlier, I said that I'd introduce

-you to a new talent each week.

0:08:310:08:37

-Tonight, it's a young man

-from Bridgend called Ifan Jenkin.

0:08:380:08:42

-He's a pianist and trumpeter but

-he can tell you more about himself.

0:08:430:08:48

-You're a pianist and trumpeter but

-the piano is your main instrument.

0:08:520:08:59

-Yes, I compete more on the piano

-but enjoy playing the trumpet...

0:09:000:09:05

-..in local ensembles,

-orchestras and jazz bands...

0:09:060:09:09

-..but my first love is the piano.

0:09:100:09:13

-You've been playing the piano

-for many years.

0:09:140:09:16

-Yes, twelve years.

0:09:170:09:18

-It's played a big part in my life

-and I'm grateful for it.

0:09:190:09:24

-Do you compete a lot?

0:09:240:09:26

-I've competed in the Eisteddfod for

-six years and made it to the stage.

0:09:270:09:33

-I've won three times.

0:09:330:09:36

-It's something to aim for every year

-and it's nice to try again.

0:09:360:09:41

-You're also a singer

-and are a member of Only Boys Aloud.

0:09:420:09:47

-Yes, I've been with Only Boys Aloud

-for three years.

0:09:480:09:52

-Our first concert

-was at the Ebbw Vale Eisteddfod.

0:09:520:09:56

-Last year, you appeared

-on Britain's Got Talent.

0:09:570:10:00

-It was an amazing experience

-that I'll never forget.

0:10:010:10:05

-I voted for you and was in tears

-when you performed Calon Lan.

0:10:050:10:10

-How did it feel to perform

-that Welsh hymn there?

0:10:110:10:14

-It was odd at first and I remember

-seeing Simon Cowell and the judges.

0:10:150:10:20

-It was strange to be singing to them

-in Welsh but it felt right.

0:10:200:10:26

-I was very proud

-to represent our country.

0:10:270:10:30

-They were amazed with your

-performance and you were excellent.

0:10:310:10:36

-# A pure heart #

0:10:360:10:41

-You've had some amazing experiences,

-Ifan.

0:10:440:10:47

-Would you like to turn professional?

0:10:470:10:51

-Would you like to turn professional?

-

-No, not with music.

0:10:510:10:52

-I've enjoyed every second of it

-and I'll keep music as a hobby...

0:10:530:10:58

-..but I'd like to study medicine

-at university.

0:10:590:11:03

-Is that what you want to do?

0:11:040:11:06

-Is that what you want to do?

-

-Yes, I hope so.

0:11:060:11:07

-Good luck to you and what are

-you going to perform for us?

0:11:070:11:13

-An excerpt from the first movement

-of Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique.

0:11:130:11:18

-Wonderful. I can't wait!

0:11:190:11:21

-.

0:13:520:13:54

-It was a pleasure to introduce you

-to Ifan Jenkin earlier.

0:14:010:14:05

-The same is true

-of a twelve-year-old girl...

0:14:060:14:09

-..who joined me in the studio

-with her father and mother.

0:14:090:14:14

-That young girl was, and still is,

-Tara Bethan.

0:14:140:14:19

-It's lovely to see you again.

0:14:190:14:22

-Thanks for inviting me

-to your palace.

0:14:220:14:25

-Are you jealous?

0:14:250:14:27

-Are you jealous?

-

-Yes, I am!

0:14:270:14:28

-You were twelve

-when I met you and your mother.

0:14:290:14:32

-We don't often see your mother

-but she was a dancer.

0:14:330:14:36

-Mam was a dancer until she was 16

-but she's a very shy lady.

0:14:370:14:44

-It's how her relationship with Dad

-worked well because he wasn't shy!

0:14:450:14:51

-She was always in the background,

-wherever Dad or I was working.

0:14:510:14:56

-She was there to run everything

-but didn't want the limelight.

0:14:560:15:00

-She stood out of sight whilst you

-and your father were on my sofa.

0:15:010:15:05

-It was quite a blow

-when you lost your father...

0:15:060:15:09

-..because he was a well-liked

-public figure.

0:15:100:15:13

-I'm sure it helped to pay him

-such an excellent tribute.

0:15:130:15:18

-I was so glad to have had the

-opportunity to make that programme.

0:15:180:15:24

-I don't think I could be any prouder

-of a piece of work.

0:15:250:15:31

-That programme is also

-something I can keep forever.

0:15:310:15:36

-It has helped me to adapt

-to a new life without Dad.

0:15:370:15:41

-It speeded up the grieving process

-- it was like a crash course.

0:15:420:15:49

-It brought the happy memories

-to the fore.

0:15:500:15:53

-Yes, and there was so much

-I didn't know too.

0:15:530:15:57

-I remember that he was so proud

-of you and very sincere too.

0:15:570:16:02

-I've got a clip to remind us

-of that day, Tara.

0:16:030:16:06

-How does it feel to have

-such a talented daughter, Orig?

0:16:060:16:10

-It's good that she's taken

-an interest in something...

0:16:110:16:14

-..that's so different to my world.

0:16:140:16:17

-She didn't need any persuasion.

0:16:170:16:20

-No, she loves her training.

0:16:200:16:24

-No, she loves her training.

-

-Yes, I'm sure.

0:16:240:16:25

-You were raised around an array of

-people from singers to actors, Tara.

0:16:260:16:31

-Yes, that's right.

0:16:320:16:33

-Do you like the company of

-those legends you grew up around?

0:16:340:16:38

-The only thing I do remember...

0:16:380:16:41

-..is Giant Haystacks, one of

-the biggest wrestlers at the time...

0:16:410:16:46

-..looked after me.

0:16:470:16:48

-Dad has a few photographs

-of him holding me.

0:16:490:16:53

-I look so small next to him.

0:16:540:16:57

-I look so small next to him.

-

-I'm sure you do.

0:16:570:16:58

-That was wonderful

-and he had such sincerity.

0:16:590:17:02

-You looked great

-in your Welsh costume.

0:17:030:17:06

-That's a matter of opinion,

-Margaret!

0:17:060:17:09

-You wore it

-because you were dancing for us.

0:17:090:17:12

-I remember you winning

-disco dancing competitions.

0:17:130:17:18

-Did your mother teach you?

0:17:180:17:21

-Did your mother teach you?

-

-We did it together which sounds odd.

0:17:210:17:24

-However, I did have a system.

0:17:240:17:27

-I was eight when I first won.

0:17:270:17:30

-My system was that Mam and I

-would rehearse every night.

0:17:300:17:35

-It had an introduction...

0:17:350:17:37

-..a middle section of floor work

-that had the required moves...

0:17:380:17:43

-..and an ending.

0:17:430:17:45

-I made up the rest of it on the day.

0:17:450:17:48

-Looking back, I can't believe

-that Mam trusted me to do that...

0:17:490:17:54

-..or that it was a good idea because

-I could have had a mental block.

0:17:540:17:59

-They call it improvisation!

0:18:000:18:03

-Yes, but it was so short a time

-I could have just learnt a dance!

0:18:030:18:08

-It made it more creative.

0:18:080:18:11

-Yes, and I get bored easily so doing

-it differently kept me on my toes.

0:18:110:18:18

-It could be why you won.

0:18:180:18:21

-It could be why you won.

-

-Or why I lost the following year!

0:18:210:18:24

-How did the folk dancing

-competitions compare?

0:18:250:18:28

-I finished second at seven

-consecutive Eisteddfods.

0:18:290:18:33

-It wasn't even

-to the same person!

0:18:340:18:36

-You did dance

-with a famous folk group.

0:18:360:18:40

-You performed with

-Dawnswyr Nantgarw Bach.

0:18:400:18:44

-I loved watching all of you and

-you look so graceful in the costume.

0:18:450:18:52

-Let's see it.

0:18:530:18:55

-Awww! That was

-one of my highlights.

0:19:290:19:32

-Really?

0:19:320:19:34

-Really?

-

-Yes, it's lovely.

0:19:340:19:36

-We've all changed

-over the years...

0:19:360:19:38

-..but you've made an

-incredible transformation.

0:19:390:19:42

-I'm glad you said that

-after that clip.

0:19:430:19:46

-You've had a successful career

-since that time.

0:19:460:19:51

-Did you always know

-that this was the career for you?

0:19:510:19:55

-I've had a lot of ups and downs.

0:19:550:19:59

-I think I had an ambition

-at that time.

0:20:000:20:05

-I don't any more

-but I've learnt so much.

0:20:060:20:09

-I was raised in Wales and was always

-in the television world...

0:20:100:20:14

-..and I was spoilt by my parents

-for starters...

0:20:150:20:18

-..and by those

-in the television industry.

0:20:190:20:23

-Then I did the reality show, I'd Do

-Anything with Andrew Lloyd Webber.

0:20:230:20:28

-What was he like?

0:20:290:20:30

-Alright.

0:20:310:20:32

-Alright.

-

-I won't ask any more.

-He doesn't like women

-with an opinion.

0:20:350:20:37

-He liked young girls who said, "Yes,

-Andrew," and I wasn't one of them!

0:20:380:20:43

-It was a shock for starters...

0:20:440:20:47

-..because I was one of 7,500

-which was whittled down to twelve...

0:20:480:20:54

-..and I didn't cope with it

-very well.

0:20:540:20:57

-I didn't know how to react to

-the other girls in the competition.

0:20:580:21:04

-At least you learnt something

-from that Nancy programme.

0:21:040:21:08

-Yes, and I'd do it again tomorrow

-because I learnt so much.

0:21:090:21:14

-I thought I was a strong person

-but I wasn't!

0:21:150:21:19

-These programmes

-ask you to act, sing and dance.

0:21:200:21:23

-We can now see your acting skills

-because you're an actress.

0:21:240:21:28

-Yes, I had the call for Pobol y Cwm

-and went through the auditions...

0:21:280:21:34

-..but the original contract

-was for a month.

0:21:350:21:38

-I had another call asking me to

-go back for a year to run the Deri.

0:21:390:21:43

-At the moment, I feel very happy.

0:21:440:21:47

-I've stopped and am able to get

-my teeth into something I enjoy.

0:21:470:21:53

-We love watching you.

0:21:530:21:55

-Before you go, you said your mother

-is in Tenerife.

0:21:550:21:58

-She's been in Tenerife

-for almost two years.

0:21:590:22:02

-I was so worried when she went but

-it's the best thing she's ever done.

0:22:030:22:07

-She's started a new life because

-she lost so much when Dad died.

0:22:080:22:13

-She can look after herself, enjoy

-the sun and I visit her often.

0:22:140:22:19

-You've got a place

-to go on holiday!

0:22:200:22:23

-Give her my regards.

-Thank you too, Tara.

0:22:230:22:27

-We close with another clip but

-this is of you singing in 2005...

0:22:270:22:32

-..when you gave a beautiful

-rendition of Cwsg Osian.

0:22:330:22:38

-Before we hear Tara,

-thank you for joining me...

0:22:390:22:42

-..and thanks to those

-who took part tonight.

0:22:430:22:46

-Join me at the same place and time

-next week. Until then, goodnight.
