0:03:11 > 0:03:15- I always get a warm welcome here. - You're kind in Llanfair Caereinion.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17- Do you agree?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18- Do you agree?- - Yes!
0:03:18 > 0:03:24- It's been nice getting to know - some of the extended Penbryn family.
0:03:24 > 0:03:30- I know the women quite well - - Linda, Lisa, Gwenno and Mari.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- I have a story - about Gwenno, Mari and Lisa.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- They went on holiday - a few years back.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45- They came across a nightclub - which said "ladies only" outside.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51- Linda's girls are quite mischievous - so they went to take a look.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- "Ladies only? What's going on here?" - they asked.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- There were four floors - with different men on every floor.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- "Up you go and take your pick," - was the reply.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04- Exciting!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- They were on holiday - so why not take a look?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Up they went to the first floor.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- There was a sign on the door which - said, "Short and plain men here."
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- No-one wants a short and plain man. - Sorry if you're a short man.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- They were boring men.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- So the girls said, - "We'll go up to the second floor."
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- So up they went to the second floor.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- There was a sign which said, - "Tall and plain men here."
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- "We don't want a boring person, - do we?"
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- "Height helps - but we don't want anyone boring.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44- "We'll go up again."
0:04:45 > 0:04:46- Up they went to the third floor.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- On the door, the sign said...
0:04:50 > 0:04:56- .."Tall, interesting, clever, - good-looking men here."
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- What else does a woman want?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- They decided to go in.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- "Whoa, whoa!" said Mari.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- "There's one floor left.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- "It gets better every time.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- "We'll go up to the fourth floor."
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- "Go on," said the others.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- They went up to the fourth floor.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- They were excited, - rubbing their hands.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- They were looking forward - to find out what was there.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- On the door, the sign said, - "There are no men here.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- "This floor was created to prove - it's impossible to please a woman!"
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- We're going to change the mood now.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- It's Linda onstage next.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- She's going to perform a song - she wrote...
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- ..after the family lost their - mother, called Siwrne Ddi-Ben-Draw.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55- We're big fans of The Snowman film, - Raymond Briggs' story, in our house.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- We watch it every Christmas.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- I wrote this song - after we watched the film.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- It was the Christmas - after we'd lost Mam.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- It's about the desire to escape - from the shackles of the world...
0:06:08 > 0:06:14- ..to somewhere else - with the dear person you've lost.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- The song was a help - and a comfort to me.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- It's a personal song and the reasons - for writing it might be selfish...
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- ..but if someone else gets comfort - from listening to it, that's great.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- # The little boy and his dear friend
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- # Are sailing through the sky
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- # On an amazing adventure
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- # Under the moonlit sky
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- # And everyone feels down
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- # At the break of day
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- # The sweet dream of the little boy
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- # Shattered on the ground
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- # It's warm on the hearth
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- # But despite the fire's warmth
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- # The smile on a precious face
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- # Is frozen in the frame
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- # But the clock strikes twelve
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- # Calling on me
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- # To escape like the little boy
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- # To a world of fantasy
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- # If I close my eyes
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- # And close them tight enough
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- # We could go up together
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- # Above the white clouds
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- # And fly hand in hand
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- # Where the sky is always blue
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- # Two white doves hovering
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- # Far from the world's din
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- # When the home - that was so welcoming
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- # Has turned its back fully
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- # And the lights of the sanctuary
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- # Have dimmed in the night
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- # Where there's nothing and no-one - in this world
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- # That's a comfort to me
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- # I grab hold of the dream
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- # Relive the fantasy
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- # If I close my eyes
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- # And close them tight enough
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- # We could go up together
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- # Above the white clouds
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- # And fly hand in hand
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- # Where the sky is always blue
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- # Two white doves hovering
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- # Far from the world's din
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- # When the loss is almost too great
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- # And the world's lost its lustre
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- # The longing overwhelms us
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- # And the hurt cuts so deep
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- # The clock will strike twelve
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- # Calling on us
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- # To escape like the little boy
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- # To a world of fantasy
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- # If we close our eyes
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- # And close them tight enough
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- # We could go up together
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- # Above the white clouds
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- # And fly hand in hand
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- # Where the sky is always blue
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- # Two white doves hovering
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- # Far from the world's din
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- # We'll sail towards the horizon
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- # Not worrying about what's to come
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- # On the adventure that's unending
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- # On the journey with no end
0:10:09 > 0:10:18- # On the journey with no end #
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- That was lovely.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Thank you very much Linda, - Gwenno, Dave and Lowri.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39- Wonderful.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Linda's daughters are next onstage.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49- Mari, Gwenno and Lisa - started Sorela in 2014.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Since then, - their unique a cappella sound...
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- ..has enchanted audiences - across the country.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- When we decided to be just us three - and form a group...
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- ..we thought of a number of names - but they weren't suitable.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06- Things like Flamingos.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- A Welsh folk group called Flamingos - just wouldn't work.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Gwenno was living in Florence - for three months.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- She sent a text saying, "What - do you think of the word 'sorella'?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- "It means sister.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21- "It's a nice word.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- "We could take out one of the Ls - to make it sound nicer in Welsh."
0:11:26 > 0:11:27- That's what we did.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- # When I was at one
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- # With the wind and rain
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- # When I was at one
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- # With the stones and the earth
0:11:51 > 0:11:59- # When I was at one - with the wind and rain
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- # When I followed
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- # The waves of the sea
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- # Every crow and seagull
0:12:15 > 0:12:21- # Celebrating - the colour of their feathers
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- # When I respected
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- # The waves of the sea
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- # Why can't we put the world - back in its place?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- # Why can't we carry the burden?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- # Why can't we put - all the pieces back?
0:12:47 > 0:12:53- # Our chapter in history - will be senseless
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- # When you see
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- # The darkness on our horizon
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- # When you hear
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- # The tide filling the air
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- # When you see the darkness
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- # On our horizon
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- # Only you, you and me
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- # We'll have regrets
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- # Why can't we put the world - back in its place?
0:13:33 > 0:13:38- # Why can't we carry the burden?
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- # Why can't we put - all the pieces back?
0:13:44 > 0:13:50- # Our chapter in history - will be senseless
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- # When we will be
0:13:55 > 0:14:01- # Just dust on the hillside
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- # What colour will our time be
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- # Just us in the picture
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- # Our world was clean
0:14:13 > 0:14:19- # But clean for how long?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- # But clean for how long?
0:14:25 > 0:14:32- # But clean

0:19:26 > 0:19:30- I was almost late coming here.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- I'd been to the vet's place - to pick up the missus's cat.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- It's a tomcat.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41- He's dirty.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- He used to come up to you, - lift up its tail...
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- ..and pee on your leg.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- So I put that right.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- I took it to the vet.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- I came home this evening.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- The missus said, "Remember - to take the little pussy...
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- "..put it in the garage - and make sure it's in its basket.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- "Give it something to drink."
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- I put the cat in the box...
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- ..and went indoors.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- I was going to fetch - a saucer of milk.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- But I'd been fixing the car.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- I had a saucer of petrol - on the ground.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- Next thing, - the cat was drinking the petrol.
0:20:32 > 0:20:38- Once it had done that, - it was running around the garage.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Then it fell down in a heap.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- So I went to get the missus.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- I said, - "The little pussy's fallen down."
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- "Oh, dear me," she said.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- "What's the matter? - Has little pussy died?"
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- "No, only ran out of petrol."
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- I was in the pub the other night.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- A bloke came in through the door.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19- He was flustered.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- He went up to the bar manager - and said...
0:21:23 > 0:21:29- .."Excuse me, do you have a large - black cat with a white collar?"
0:21:30 > 0:21:31- "Yes."
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- "Thank goodness for that.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- "I thought I'd run over the vicar."
0:21:42 > 0:21:48- Wasn't it nice - listening to Linda Griffiths?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- I've always fancied her.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- Her voice is so melodic - and wonderful.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- She's quite shapely too...
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- ..considering her age.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- Jac and Roy look older now.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- They were coming home - from somewhere, I don't know where.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- They passed a bridge.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- They came across two old men.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- One had thrown the other - over the bridge...
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- ..and grabbed him by his legs.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Roy and Jac looked at them.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- In a minute, he pulled him up.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- He had caught a whopper of a salmon.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44- Jac said, "Goodness.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- "Next time we come to a bridge, - we'll see if we can catch a salmon."
0:22:50 > 0:22:51- "OK," said Roy.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- They went on for a few miles - and they arrived at a bridge.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- "Oh, we'll have a go here," - said Roy.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01- "Champion."
0:23:01 > 0:23:06- So, Roy lowered Jac down...
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- ..over the bridge and held him down.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Half an hour passed.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19- Roy said, - "Haven't you caught a fish yet?"
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- "No," said Jac.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- "You'd better pull me up now. - There's a train coming."
0:23:33 > 0:23:38- I was at the British Legion's - annual dinner.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- They'd brought out the plates.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- An old man was sat opposite me...
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- ..just staring at his meal.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53- In a little while, I said...
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- .."What's the matter? - Aren't you hungry? Are you ill?"
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- "I am hungry," he said. - "But I've forgotten my teeth."
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- I put my hand in pocket - and had a fumble.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- "Here's a set of teeth," I said.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13- "Try these."
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- "I can't eat with these," he said.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18- "They're too big."
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- I put my hand in my other pocket.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- I found another set.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- "I can eat with these just fine," - he said.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- "Are you a dentist?"
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- "No, I'm an undertaker."
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Thank you. Goodnight.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- Thank you, Geraint Peate!
