-..who has already performed -a lot in her life. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
-First, let's meet a man... | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
-..who is the conductor of not one -but three choirs. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
-Here he comes. -It's Eilir Owen Griffiths. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
-Eilir, you conduct three choirs. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
-Which one came first? | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
-Which one came first? - -CF1 was my first choir. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
-I moved to Cardiff... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
-..to study composition at the Royal -Welsh College of Music and Drama. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
-Former Aberystwyth students -came together to form a group... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:05 | |
-..and I was given the opportunity -to conduct the choir. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
-I've been with them ever since. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
-You sang at concerts, -the Eisteddfod and on television. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
-We did all sorts of things. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-It was very exciting -at the start in 2003 and 2004... | 0:01:21 | 0:01:26 | |
-..and we had -a lot of opportunities. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
-As we got older, we toured abroad. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-We've been to Ireland -and also sung in Italy. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:37 | |
-One specific tour stands out for me. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
-I think the reason that CF1 -has survived for the last decade... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:46 | |
-..is thanks our trip to America. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
-Where did you go? | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
-We were invited to Chicago for the -North American Festival of Wales. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:57 | |
-We made the most of it -and spent three days in New York... | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
-..before visiting Chicago. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
-Between both destinations, -we stopped in Pennsylvania. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
-The organiser of the festival -and our trip was Beth Landmesser. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
-She arranged for us to stay in -the holiday homes of her friends... | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
-..around Indian Lake -near Wilkes Barre. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-She told us that she would feed us. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
-In restaurants or cafes. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |
-In restaurants or cafes. - -No, in her home. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
-Did she live in a palace? | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
-No, it was -an ordinary lakeside home. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
-She prepared a pig roast for us. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-On the night we arrived, -she turned up with 22 pizza boxes. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:45 | |
-She treated us so well. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-Our three or four-day stay -made CF1 what it is today. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
-It pulled us together at a time when -we didn't know where we were going. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-What about Godre'r Garth? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
-Godre'r Garth choir -came off the back of CF1. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
-A member of Godre'r Garth -was also in CF1. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
-I was invited -to listen to the choir... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
-..before I agreed -to be their conductor. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
-This was in 2003. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-At that time, I was very young -and inexperienced. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
-I heard the choir -and didn't think I could do it. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
-I didn't feel capable of doing it, -so I phoned my mother. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:33 | |
-I told her that I'd seen -and heard the choir perform... | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
-..and I didn't feel qualified -to conduct them. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
-Mam asked -what I normally did on a Sunday. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
-I usually had a pint with friends. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
-She told me -to forget about my pint... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
-..and have a three-month trial with -Godre'r Garth to see how I felt. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
-That's what I did... | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
-..and we competed and came second -at the National Eisteddfod. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-There is a true sense -of community within the choir. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
-I was young but they accepted me... | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-..and I grew with the choir. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-I've learnt more as -the conductor of Godre'r Garth... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-..than I have with any other choir. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
-I've taken a year out -from conducting Godre'r Garth... | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
-..so that I can concentrate -on my young family. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-I'm also working with Llangollen. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
-I'm taking this year out but will -return to Godre'r Garth in 2014. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-I'm glad to hear that. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
-You appeared on my programme -with CF1 in 2005... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
-..and with Godre'r Garth. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |

-Oh, that clip brings back -so many fond memories. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
-It was lovely to see that. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-We all looked much younger! | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-You also work in Trinity College. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
-Yes, I was appointed -as a cultural organiser... | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
-..but I'm now a lecturer -in the School of Performing Arts. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-Conducting their choir -goes hand in hand with my work. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-There are very enthusiastic students -in Carmarthen. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
-The choir is completely different -to the other two choirs. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-It's great to work -with such a young choir. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-You're quite a showman -when in front of the choirs. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
-I think it's just a part of me. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-I like to get the same feeling -from my choirs. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
-I like a choir with personality. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
-I think a choir should have energy. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-I hope that I achieve this -with my choirs. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-My choirs aren't afraid to show -emotion and to enjoy themselves. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:53 | |
-I have matured but I still want -to capture that buzz from a choir. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:59 | |
-That buzz is vital to me. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
-You mentioned -the Llangollen Eisteddfod earlier. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
-I didn't compete at Llangollen -until I was over the age of 18. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:14 | |
-Next year marks 50 years since -I first competed at the Eisteddfod. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
-You now have a very important role -with the Eisteddfod. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-I'm delighted to have been appointed -in this role at Llangollen. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-My vision for 2013 -is to produce a programme... | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
-..with plenty of variety that -remained true to the Eisteddfod. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:40 | |
-The concerts are very varied... | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-..that include jazz and rhythm -and blues with Jools Holland. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
-I've booked performers -from Strictly Come Dancing. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
-They are not typically -on the line up. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-There's also a performance of -Verdi's Requiem on the Wednesday... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-..and we've booked -the percussionist, Evelyn Glennie. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
-I've tried to find -the right balance. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
-We're doing very well -at the box office... | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
-..so I hope it will be -a very successful Eisteddfod. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |

-My next guest needs no introductions -other than his name. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:36 | |
-It's Dafydd Iwan. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
-Welcome to you, Dafydd. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
-Welcome to you, Dafydd. - -Thank you, Margaret. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:41 | |
-I mentioned earlier -that you are a Welsh icon. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
-Are you aware of this fact? | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
-Are you aware of this fact? - -What is an icon? | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
-I've been in the spotlight for over -50 years and you get used to it. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:56 | |
-However, I've mixed entertainment -with politics and business... | 0:13:56 | 0:14:02 | |
-..so I've been in the spotlight -for different reasons. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-My feet are firmly planted -on the ground... | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
-..because I've had -to go to work every day! | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-You're more than an entertainer. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
-I've never really -thought of myself... | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
-..as being solely an entertainer... | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
-..but it has always played -a big part in my life. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
-I think of music -as some sort of hobby... | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-..that helps me relax -and escape the worries of life. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
-There's a more serious side -because I sing about what I believe. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
-What do you consider -your main occupation? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
-I did a degree in architecture. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
-I was working in an office -and got called to one side... | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-..because I was always away -from work for a protest, a rally... | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
-..or a concert or to make a record. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
-I was told -that I needed to decide... | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
-..if being an architect -was what I wanted. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
-I realised that -I could never be an architect... | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
-..and I think -it's worked out quite well. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
-You're here to talk about -your singing career. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-You were one of the first -to compose Welsh protest songs. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:23 | |
-It was an important time -in terms of protests... | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
-..and politics amongst young people. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
-They thought -they could change the world. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
-This was in the English world. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
-In America, it formed part -of the racial rights campaign. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-People opposed apartheid in -South Africa and the Vietnam War. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
-When I started composing songs... | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
-..I found that I fitted perfectly -with this mood. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:53 | |
-They wanted to change the world -but I wanted to change Wales. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
-You composed many protest songs... | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
-..and many religious songs too. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-There is a religious element. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
-I recently tried to improve -the Welsh translation of songs... | 0:16:08 | 0:16:14 | |
-..that appear in subtitles. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
-I wondered if I could -produce English translations... | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-..that were not only singable -but had a rhyme and rhythm. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-I managed to do this -with most songs. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
-When translating, you have to get -to the heart of the song. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:35 | |
-I noticed -that a lot of these songs... | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
-..had a hidden religious -or spiritual meaning... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:44 | |
-..such as Dim Ond Un Gan Sydd Ar Ol, -Ai Am Fod Haul Yn Machlud... | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
-..and -Mae'r Darnau Yn Disgyn I'w Lle. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
-You have so many songs. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
-I'd like to show one of the songs -you performed on my programme. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-It wasn't in the 1960s but in 1986. -Let's take a look at it. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
-# I've heard people speak -about mountains of butter | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
-# And I've heard people -speak about lakes of milk | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
-# But I know that all of you -who are Christians | 0:17:13 | 0:17:18 | |
-# Would not condone the waste -of food and nourishment | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
-# But I was born -the son of my parents | 0:17:24 | 0:17:29 | |
-# And I heard people say -that we're all children of God | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
-# I'm your brother -and you're like a brother to me | 0:17:35 | 0:17:41 | |
-# So why am I denied? | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
-# Why am I denied? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
-# Why am I denied -the right to live? # | 0:17:47 | 0:17:56 | |
-APPLAUSE | 0:17:58 | 0:17:59 | |
-That's a wonderful song. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
-I'm fond of that song but the -inspiration behind it is very sad. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:09 | |
-It's about the famine in Ethiopia -during the 1980s. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
-I'd only just written it -when I performed it. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-The sad thing about that song is -that it relates to other events... | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
-..in different countries -over a number of years... | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-..but I still sing it. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:27 | |
-It's one of those songs -where people join in... | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
-..especially young people. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
-I actually performed that song -last Saturday night. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
-A group of young people were in the -front row singing along in harmony. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:43 | |
-It must be thrilling for you. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
-Yes, and it's even better -when they have good singing voices. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
-It's rare to find a group who can -sing in harmony anywhere else. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:56 | |
-I thank the Lord that this is still -a strong part of our culture... | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
-..because a lot of young people -belong to choirs. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-It's part of our make-up. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:06 | |
-It's part of our make-up. - -Yes, and we should be proud of it. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
-Wales is the Land of Song... | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
-..but you still need discipline -and musical training. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
-When you hear a crowd breaking -into song and sing in harmony... | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
-..it adds something -to the atmosphere. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
-In the 1980s, -you did talk about retiring. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:30 | |
-Who, me?! | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-Who, me?! - -Yes, you did. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
-I've never mentioned retirement! | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
-Take a look at this. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
-Last time you were here, you said -it was your final performance. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
-Did I say that? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:43 | |
-Did I say that? - -Yes, you did. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
-It's possible -that I gave a suggestion... | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
-..that I would consider retiring -from singing in the future. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
-I have tried and failed -so why should I retire? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
-A lot of people would be upset -if you retired. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
-I'll sing whilst there are songs -to be sung and someone listening! | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
-It's in your blood. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
-It's in your blood. - -Yes, I'm afraid so. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
-That was a while ago -but you're still here! | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-That clip was from 1986. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
-At that time, I felt as if -things were coming to an end. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
-You get moments in your career -when you struggle to write songs... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
-..concerts don't go well, you're -fed up and want to do other things. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:29 | |
-Things had changed in my personal -and political lives. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
-The 1980s were far from brilliant. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
-We weren't aware of that. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
-Between everything, I felt as if -I'd lost the wind from my sails... | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
-..and I was ready -to hang up my guitar... | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
-..and find a new direction in life. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
-Someone had the idea of having -a concert at the Corwen Pavilion... | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
-..to celebrate 25 years of -Dafydd Iwan with some friends. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
-We formed a band for the event... | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
-..and it gave me -a new lease of life. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-We decided to keep the band together -and start again. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:17 | |
-It was the start of a new chapter -in my career... | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
-..and it lasted -until the end of the century. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
-Once again, I felt as if -everything was coming to an end... | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
-..and to a degree it did all end -with the end of the century. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
-Did you stop singing? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:35 | |
-The band and I broke up -after releasing two albums. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
-We were back together again by -the time the second album came out! | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
-You're just like Hogia'r Wyddfa -and Frank Sinatra! | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
-Thank you so much -for joining me, Dafydd. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
-Thank you for singing with me -on my programmes... | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
-..in 1983 and in 1986. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
-I was delighted to have done so. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
-We'll close with a clip. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:01 | |
-It's another one of our highlights. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-It's another one of our highlights. - -Yes, that's right. Well done. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
-Thank you, Dafydd. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-Thank you, Dafydd. - -You're welcome, Margaret. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:10 | |
-I'd also like to thank Eilir, Jodi -and you for watching. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
-It's the end of the programme -and the entire series. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
-There's no better way to end -than with a song from Dafydd Iwan. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
-This is Weithiau Bydd y Fflam. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-# Sometimes, -I reminisce about a distant time | 0:22:30 | 0:22:36 | |
-# And I long for the days -that will never return | 0:22:37 | 0:22:44 | |
-# When our language was purer | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
-# And when Wales was a better place | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
-# But I know -that my longing is in vain | 0:22:51 | 0:22:58 | |
-# The cold winter -closes around me tonight | 0:22:58 | 0:23:06 | |
-# The wind causes the white snow -to drift | 0:23:06 | 0:23:12 | |
-# But the sunshine -will return again tomorrow | 0:23:12 | 0:23:17 | |
-# To thaw the coldness | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
-# And I'll see the green grass -of my land once again | 0:23:21 | 0:23:27 | |
-# And I'll see the green grass -of my land once again # | 0:23:28 | 0:23:36 | |
-APPLAUSE | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
