-Oh!

0:00:340:00:35

-Thank you.

0:00:360:00:37

-Thank you very much.

0:00:380:00:40

-Welcome to another NOSON LAWEN

-from the Anglesey Show Pavilion...

0:00:400:00:44

-..here in Gwalchmai.

0:00:440:00:46

-It's an honour to appear

-on NOSON LAWEN for the first time.

0:00:460:00:51

-Be patient with me!

0:00:510:00:53

-We have a feast for you tonight.

0:00:530:00:55

-Our first act didn't have

-to travel far to join us.

0:00:560:01:00

-Conducted by Gwyn Evans - and

-filling the NOSON LAWEN stage...

0:01:010:01:05

-..please welcome the Beaumaris Band!

0:01:050:01:08

-It's like stepping into the dark

-for the first time.

0:04:170:04:21

-I'm nervous, because it's my

-first time. It's a new experience.

0:04:210:04:24

-I'll probably enjoy it.

0:04:240:04:26

-I have a few anecdotes about

-my past, and my present situation.

0:04:260:04:30

-I hope they'll laugh. We'll see!

0:04:300:04:33

-Thank you! Presenting NOSON LAWEN

-is a new job for me.

0:04:350:04:39

-I'm a bit of an actor!

0:04:390:04:41

-Before that, I was a policeman.

-I'm sure some of you know!

0:04:420:04:45

-People still refer to me

-as an ex-policeman.

0:04:460:04:49

-Let me put the record straight.

0:04:490:04:51

-I wasn't there long enough

-to wear clean underpants!

0:04:520:04:54

-But we didn't change underpants

-so often in those days.

0:04:540:04:58

-I was the Sheriff of Dolgellau

-at 19 years of age.

0:04:590:05:02

-Some nights, I was the only

-policeman on duty in Merionethshire!

0:05:030:05:07

-I hadn't passed my test -

-but I had a big black bike.

0:05:080:05:11

-Why were policemen's bikes

-so big and black?!

0:05:120:05:14

-You needed two men to push them!

-They were too slow to catch a cold!

0:05:150:05:18

-My greatest achievement

-was to stop traffic.

0:05:190:05:23

-I paved the way for two men

-to steal a double-decker.

0:05:230:05:26

-I went to Llandudno after Dolgellau.

-There was real crime there!

0:05:290:05:32

-During an afternoon shift, I had

-to walk up and down the High Street.

0:05:330:05:37

-Boring!

0:05:380:05:39

-A young policeman

-was on patrol and fed up.

0:05:410:05:45

-He spotted a very suspicious man

-leaving a bank.

0:05:460:05:51

-He ran up Mostyn St

-with something under his arm.

0:05:520:05:55

-The policeman chased him up

-Mostyn St, down Gloddau St...

0:05:560:05:59

-..along Lloyd St, back to Mostyn St,

-up the hill towards the Orme...

0:05:590:06:02

-..and the policeman

-still chased him.

0:06:030:06:05

-As they reached the Orme tram

-station, the policeman grabbed him.

0:06:050:06:09

-He pinned him against the tram.

-"Right!" he said.

0:06:100:06:14

-"What's under your arm?"

-"Hair. What have you got, feathers?"

0:06:150:06:19

-Yes!

0:06:260:06:27

-The choir was formed

-three years ago.

0:06:280:06:31

-They made their mark

-on the choral empire.

0:06:320:06:35

-They won

-at the Faenol National Eisteddfod.

0:06:360:06:39

-They won the premier award

-in the Folk Choir competition.

0:06:390:06:43

-Conducted by Nia Wyn Evans...

0:06:430:06:46

-..please give a warm welcome

-to the youth of the area...

-# Daddy started out in San Francisco

0:07:090:07:11

-# Tootin' on his trumpet

-loud and mean

0:07:110:07:14

-"Go forth, Daddy

-Thank you,

0:10:590:11:02

0:11:020:11:05

-..the other is a lecturer

-to release a CD.

0:11:100:11:13

0:11:170:11:21

-# The night in Caer Arianrhod

0:11:410:11:47

-# Is the start of the day

0:11:490:11:52

-# A long day

0:11:520:11:55

-# But night in Caer Arianrhod

0:11:560:12:02

-# Isn't long with you

0:12:030:12:09

-# The tape has turned

-its final turn

0:12:110:12:17

-# The desk is closed

0:12:180:12:21

-# The door is locked

0:12:220:12:25

-# The day's noise has faded

0:12:250:12:28

-# The song has ended

0:12:290:12:32

-# And everyone is exhausted

0:12:320:12:38

-# But night in Caer Arianrhod

0:12:380:12:45

-# Is the start of the day

0:12:480:12:51

-# A long day

0:12:520:12:54

-# But night in Caer Arianrhod

0:12:550:13:01

-# Isn't long with you

0:13:030:13:09

-# Dawn brought an end to our world

0:13:140:13:21

-# The fingers are weak

0:13:220:13:24

-# The voice is hoarse

0:13:250:13:28

-# The eyes are red

0:13:290:13:32

-# My back aches

0:13:320:13:36

-# The muse has fallen asleep

0:13:360:13:41

-# But night in Caer Arianrhod

0:13:420:13:49

-# Is the start of the day

0:13:510:13:54

-# A long day

0:13:550:13:58

-# But night in Caer Arianrhod

0:13:580:14:05

-# Isn't long with you

0:14:060:14:12

-# Sometimes it falls through the net

0:14:180:14:23

-# Sometimes there's too much stress

0:14:250:14:29

-# But the sun soon appears

0:14:310:14:36

-# To bring back the good times

0:14:380:14:44

-# But night in Caer Arianrhod

0:14:450:14:51

-# Is the start of the day

0:14:530:14:56

-# A long day

-# But night in Caer Arianrhod

0:15:000:15:08

-# Isn't long

0:15:090:15:12

-# With you #

0:15:140:15:19

-We sang a couple of old songs

-in a friend's wedding.

0:15:340:15:38

-We thought it would be good

-to record our favourite songs....

0:15:380:15:42

-..especially arranged

-for the voice and piano.

0:15:430:15:46

-You've sang plenty of other

-songwriters' songs in the past.

0:15:470:15:51

-There was a repertoire

-available to record.

0:15:510:15:54

-No-one's said I've got

-a repertoire before! Thank you!

0:15:540:15:57

-Posh word, for a change.

0:15:570:15:59

-Some of you probably know

-that for most of my life...

0:16:000:16:04

-..I was a confirmed bachelor.

0:16:040:16:06

-But one Friday night, I was struck

-by a thunderbolt. That was it!

0:16:080:16:12

-I was a married man. And fair play,

-I'm enjoying married life.

0:16:120:16:17

-People who've lived alone for a

-long time can find it hard to adapt.

0:16:190:16:22

-You get used to doing things

-your own way.

0:16:220:16:26

-Years ago, people were engaged

-for 40 years!

0:16:270:16:30

-I'm sure you remember

-couples in your area.

0:16:310:16:33

-A couple lived

-in the north of Anglesey.

0:16:330:16:37

-After three years of married life...

0:16:380:16:42

-..heaven on earth

-became a living hell.

0:16:430:16:46

-They kept shouting at one another.

0:16:470:16:51

-Living together was unbearable.

0:16:520:16:53

-A neighbour suggested they saw

-a marriage guidance counsellor.

0:16:540:16:58

-So they made an appointment.

0:17:000:17:02

-The counsellor sat one side of

-the desk, they were on the other.

0:17:020:17:06

-"Be totally honest with me,"

-said the counsellor.

0:17:070:17:10

-"Tell it as it is.

-Don't try to hide anything.

0:17:100:17:13

-"I want to hear both sides.

-You start, Mrs Hughes."

0:17:130:17:16

-She started! She kept running him

-down and wouldn't stop talking.

0:17:170:17:22

-She rabbited on for 5 or 10 minutes.

0:17:230:17:26

-No-one could get a word in edgeways.

0:17:270:17:30

-She was still at it 25 minutes,

-even half an hour later!

0:17:300:17:34

-The husband and counsellor tried

-to interrupt her, to no avail.

0:17:340:17:37

-After half an hour,

-the counsellor had had enough.

0:17:370:17:40

-He grabbed her, and put

-her against a filing cabinet.

0:17:400:17:44

-He gave her a massive snog.

0:17:450:17:47

-He put her back in her seat.

0:17:500:17:53

-She sat there, dumbstruck - but

-with an inane smile on her face.

0:17:540:17:59

-"You see. That's what she needs

-twice a week," said the counsellor.

0:18:010:18:04

-"OK. I'll bring her here every

-Tuesday and Thursday afternoon."

0:18:040:18:08

-Yes!

0:18:150:18:16

-But it reached a crisis point.

0:18:180:18:20

-They were driving through Gwalchmai.

0:18:200:18:24

-"I want a divorce," she said.

0:18:240:18:27

-He gripped the steering wheel,

-and increased his speed to 60mph.

0:18:270:18:33

-They reached Llangefni.

0:18:330:18:35

-"I'm having an affair with

-a travelling salesman," she said.

0:18:350:18:38

-His gripped tightened,

-and increased his speed to 70mph.

0:18:390:18:43

-"I want the house and the farm,"

-she said in Llanfair.

0:18:440:18:48

-He didn't say a word,

-and reached 80mph.

0:18:480:18:53

-They were travelling at 80mph

-towards Britannia bridge.

0:18:550:18:58

-As they reached the bridge,

-she said...

0:18:590:19:01

-"..I want the bank account

-and the cheque book."

0:19:010:19:04

-He put his foot down once more.

0:19:060:19:08

-He turned the car to face a big

-concrete pillar on the bridge.

0:19:080:19:12

-"Well, don't you want anything?"

0:19:130:19:16

-"No," he replied.

-"I've got everything I want here."

0:19:160:19:19

-"Oh? And what's that?"

0:19:200:19:21

-As they hit the concrete pillar

-doing 90mph, he said, "Airbag."

0:19:220:19:26

-Aren't we talented folk

-here in Anglesey?!

0:19:390:19:43

-AUDIENCE AGREES

0:19:430:19:44

-AUDIENCE AGREES

-

-Let's not boast.

0:19:440:19:46

-The facts speak for themselves.

-We're better than the rest!

0:19:460:19:50

-But this bunch has put

-a part of this island on the map.

0:19:500:19:54

-They've set a high standard

-nationally and internationally...

0:19:550:19:59

-..in the world of musical

-instrumentalists - and with a smile.

0:19:590:20:03

-We've performed in concerts

-as well as competed.

0:20:030:20:06

-Most of the time, we do concerts.

0:20:070:20:09

-But the Band has been very busy -

-especially the 'B' Band.

0:20:090:20:13

-They've qualified in the UK

-Brass Band Championship.

0:20:130:20:18

-They'll be representing

-Wales in September.

0:20:180:20:22

-Conducted

-by the talented Gwyn Evans...

-would like to hear another song.

0:23:290:23:33

-Please welcome Dafydd Dafis

-and Pwyll ap Sion back on stage!

0:23:340:23:38

-# Hello

0:23:550:23:57

-# How are you by now?

0:23:580:24:00

-# Did your broken heart

-finally mend?

0:24:010:24:05

-# It's true

0:24:080:24:11

-# Time has flown by

0:24:110:24:13

-# The strong winds

-shattered all our dreams

0:24:140:24:18

-# I see buildings

-where there was once a forest

0:24:210:24:26

-# The leaves

-turning into clouds underfoot

0:24:270:24:32

-# Twenty years ago

0:24:350:24:40

-# We both said things in anger

0:24:400:24:48

-# Twenty years ago

0:24:480:24:53

-# But tonight,

-we'll take a step forward

0:24:540:24:58

-# Long ago

0:25:030:25:06

-# Our days were filled with song

0:25:060:25:09

-# The heat of the sun

-was enough to keep us happy

0:25:100:25:14

-# Without fear

0:25:160:25:18

-# Without doubting

-the foundations of our world

0:25:200:25:23

-# But not facing

-a force beyond our power

0:25:230:25:27

-# I remember seeing you

-walking toward the border

0:25:300:25:34

-# That moment

-will stay with me forever

0:25:360:25:41

-Twenty years ago

0:25:440:25:49

-# We both said things in anger

0:25:490:25:54

-# Twenty years ago

0:25:570:26:02

-# But tonight,

-we'll take a step forward

0:26:020:26:06

-# I know there are obstacles

-in our way

0:26:100:26:16

-# I fell flat on my face

0:26:170:26:21

-# A cold fate

-swept across the land

0:26:220:26:27

-# I felt the coldness of the anger

0:26:290:26:33

-# But now

0:26:360:26:38

-# My life's in disarray

0:26:390:26:41

-# I'm still sitting here in silence

0:26:430:26:47

-# But for now

0:26:490:26:51

-# Let's reignite the flame

0:26:530:26:55

-# The remains of its spark

-hover on the breeze

0:26:560:27:00

-# We'll bring down the barricades

0:27:030:27:08

-# They've prevented us from seeing

-the way ahead for far too long

0:27:090:27:15

-# Twenty years ago

0:27:170:27:22

-# We both said things in anger

0:27:220:27:30

-# Twenty years ago

0:27:300:27:36

-# But tonight

0:27:360:27:37

-# We'll take a step forward #

0:27:380:27:44

-I'm rather wary

-of introducing the next couple.

0:27:550:27:58

-Walter Thomas, and that tall,

-loud one - Arthur Picton.

0:27:590:28:02

-LOUD CHEERS

0:28:070:28:09

-Hello!

0:28:240:28:25

-Yes, yes, it's me. I'm still on

-the land of the living! Just about!

0:28:270:28:30

-And the old club.

0:28:320:28:34

-Mr Picton has promoted himself

-as the Director of Football.

0:28:350:28:40

-He can't direct traffic!

0:28:410:28:43

-We were in dire financial straits

-last year.

0:28:460:28:50

-The club almost went bust.

0:28:520:28:54

-But cometh the hour, cometh the man.

0:28:550:28:58

-I was in a committee meeting

-on a Tuesday night.

0:29:020:29:04

-Tecs was in the Communion Council.

0:29:050:29:07

-Mr Picton was late.

0:29:090:29:10

-Oh, Mr Picton!

0:29:170:29:18

-I was expecting someone older.

0:29:190:29:20

-I was expecting someone older.

-

-Eh?

0:29:200:29:21

-'Sorry I'm late.'

0:29:220:29:23

-'Sorry I'm late.'

-

-It's OK. I'm behind too.

0:29:230:29:25

-No!

0:29:250:29:26

-I've been busy.

0:29:270:29:28

-I've been busy.

-

-Doing what?

0:29:280:29:29

-I've been busy.

0:29:290:29:29

-This. Move.

0:29:290:29:31

-The Great Bryncoch Concert.

0:29:330:29:36

-Arthur Picton Esq...

0:29:370:29:39

-..presents local talents.

0:29:420:29:44

-Special guest, Bryn Terfel.

0:29:450:29:47

-Blimey, Bryn Terfel!

0:29:480:29:50

-Is he coming, Mr Picton?

0:29:510:29:52

-Is he coming, Mr Picton?

-

-That's what it says on the poster!

0:29:520:29:53

-That's what it says on the poster!

0:29:530:29:54

-But has Bryn said he's coming?

0:29:550:29:57

-Put it like this,

-he hasn't said he isn't coming.

0:29:590:30:02

-I'm a big fan of Bryn's.

-I know all his hits.

0:30:040:30:08

-Wait.

0:30:090:30:10

-# If I was a rich man,

-Be-de-be-de-be-de-be-de-be-de-bum!

0:30:120:30:16

-# Be-de-be-de-be-de-be-de-bum!

0:30:170:30:19

-# Be-de-be-de-be-de-bum!

0:30:200:30:22

-Shut it!

0:30:230:30:24

-Shut it, before you feel

-my foot on your be-de-bum!

0:30:260:30:29

-Perhaps Bryn will sing

-a duet with me.

0:30:350:30:38

-He won't!

0:30:390:30:40

-He won't!

-

-Why not?

0:30:400:30:41

-Why not?

0:30:410:30:41

-He won't be here, will he!

0:30:420:30:44

-What will you say?

0:30:450:30:47

-I'll say he cried off -

-that he's got a bit of cold.

0:30:470:30:51

-You know what singers are like!

0:30:510:30:53

-They've only got to sneeze, and

-than it's beddy-byes with Benylin!

0:30:540:30:57

-You'll have to get someone

-in his place.

0:30:580:31:01

-Will I?

0:31:010:31:02

-Yes! It won't be easy

-to fill Bryn's shoes!

0:31:020:31:06

-I've got it! Well done, Wali!

0:31:060:31:09

-Oh, thank you.

0:31:100:31:11

-Do you know an Ifan from Llaneurwyn?

0:31:120:31:13

-Do you know an Ifan from Llaneurwyn?

-

-No.

0:31:130:31:14

-Do you know an Ifan from Llaneurwyn?

0:31:140:31:15

-They say he's the spitting image

-of Bryn Terfel.

0:31:150:31:18

-They? You've never seen him?

0:31:180:31:20

-They? You've never seen him?

-

-Yes! I haven't seen Bryn Terfel!

0:31:200:31:20

-Yes! I haven't seen Bryn Terfel!

0:31:200:31:22

-Oh!

0:31:220:31:23

-Can Ifan sing?

0:31:250:31:27

-He won't have to. I'll get a penguin

-suit, dicky bow - and a tape.

0:31:270:31:32

-He can mime!

0:31:340:31:35

-He can mime!

-

-Oh!

0:31:350:31:36

-Oh!

0:31:360:31:36

-Right!

0:31:370:31:38

-I'm going for a pint.

0:31:390:31:41

-# When I am a rich man.

-Be-de-be-de-be-de-be-de-bum! #

0:31:410:31:44

-Well, the big night arrived.

0:31:480:31:50

-It was a sell-out.

0:31:500:31:52

-Everyone paid 20 a ticket.

0:31:530:31:55

-But unfortunately...

0:31:570:31:59

-..it wasn't all tickety-boo.

0:32:000:32:02

-It was up to me

-to clear up the mess.

0:32:030:32:06

-And welcome back to our host,

-Arthur Picton!

0:32:080:32:13

-Thank you!

0:32:160:32:18

-Thank you!

0:32:180:32:19

-The big moment has arrived.

0:32:220:32:24

-It's not often,

-not even to a man like me...

0:32:250:32:28

-..to get the honour...

0:32:290:32:31

-..to get the honour...

-

-Come here!

0:32:310:32:31

-Come here!

0:32:310:32:32

-Excuse me.

0:32:340:32:35

-What is it?!

0:32:360:32:37

-What is it?!

-

-Crisis, Mr Picton.

0:32:370:32:38

-Crisis, Mr Picton.

0:32:380:32:38

-Ifan is as drunk as a skunk.

0:32:390:32:41

-He can stand!

0:32:430:32:45

-He can stand!

-

-Not since he fell downstairs...

0:32:450:32:45

-Not since he fell downstairs...

0:32:450:32:47

-..and ripped Bryn Terfel's

-tape into shreds.

0:32:470:32:50

-What will we do?

0:32:500:32:52

-I know someone who knows

-all his hits - or so he says!

0:32:530:32:56

-Who?

0:32:570:32:58

-Who?

-

-Get a move on!

0:32:580:32:59

-Get a move on!

0:32:590:32:59

-Mr Picton!

0:32:590:33:00

-Mr Picton!

-

-Go!

0:33:000:33:01

-Mr Picton!

0:33:010:33:01

-Yes, as I was saying.

0:33:020:33:04

-It's an honour...

0:33:060:33:07

-..to welcome one

-of the world's greatest singers!

0:33:080:33:13

-But he hasn't been very well lately.

0:33:150:33:17

-He's only half the man he was.

0:33:200:33:23

-And so please welcome...

0:33:250:33:27

-..a special Bryncoch welcome

-to Bryn Terfel!

0:33:280:33:31

-Do your best, lad.

0:33:420:33:43

-Bryn Terfel!

0:33:440:33:45

-How are you, lads?

0:33:560:33:58

-Do you know what?

0:34:010:34:02

-When I travel all over the world...

0:34:030:34:06

-..I've only noticed one thing.

0:34:080:34:10

-The great mountains stay.

0:34:120:34:15

-Play it, Annette.

0:34:170:34:19

-MAJESTIC PIANO INTRODUCTION

0:34:240:34:26

-Wait.

0:34:330:34:34

-# Still do

0:34:410:34:46

-# The great mountains stay

0:34:470:34:51

-# And the winds above them roar #

0:35:010:35:10

-HE BURPS

0:35:160:35:18

-# There is heard at break of day

0:35:250:35:30

-# Songs of shepherds, as before

0:35:310:35:37

-# Daises as before still grow

0:35:380:35:43

-# Around the foot of the hill...

0:35:440:35:47

-# ..and rock

0:35:480:35:50

-# Over these old mountains, though

0:35:540:35:59

-# A new shepherd drives his flock #

0:36:000:36:08

-WILD APPLAUSE

0:36:090:36:10

-Bryn Terfel!

0:36:140:36:15

-888

0:36:320:36:34

-Yes!

0:36:360:36:37

-Welcome back. You heard them

-earlier in the evening.

0:36:380:36:41

-I'm sure you enjoyed them.

0:36:420:36:44

-Please welcome once again,

-back on the NOSON LAWEN stage...

0:36:440:36:49

-..Cor Aelwyd yr Ynys!

0:36:490:36:51

-# You wandered

0:37:080:37:11

-# You travelled

0:37:110:37:14

-# To all four corners of the earth

0:37:150:37:20

-# You felt displaced

-on your arduous journey

0:37:210:37:28

-# There's still dust

-on your clothes

0:37:280:37:34

-# Your feet are aching

0:37:350:37:37

-# Your shoes are worn

0:37:380:37:41

-# Come for a walk

-to your old valley

0:37:420:37:47

-# To the home

-where the lights always shine

0:37:480:37:53

-# Ooo

0:37:540:37:58

-# Like rekindling an old fire

0:37:590:38:05

-# A new journey to take

0:38:050:38:08

-# Come nearer,

-feel the warmth from the fire

0:38:080:38:14

-# Like rediscovering old friends

0:38:150:38:19

-# A journey beginning and ending

0:38:200:38:23

-# Rekindling the fire

0:38:240:38:27

-# Restarting the song

0:38:270:38:31

-# Ooo

0:38:320:38:34

-# When you feel the world's too big

0:38:340:38:37

-# Turn away

0:38:390:38:40

-# There's still time before dawn

0:38:410:38:44

-# Try again

0:38:450:38:47

-# Come home to where you were born

0:38:480:38:50

-# To where you were brought up

0:38:510:38:54

-# There will be

-someone to welcome you

0:38:540:39:02

-# Ooo

0:39:030:39:05

-# Like rekindling an old fire

0:39:050:39:12

-# A new journey to take

0:39:120:39:15

-# Come nearer,

-feel the warmth from the fire

0:39:150:39:21

-# Like rediscovering old friends

0:39:220:39:26

-# A journey beginning and ending

0:39:270:39:30

-# Rekindling the fire

0:39:310:39:34

-# Restarting the song

0:39:340:39:39

-# You're back for good this time

0:39:400:39:47

-# This time #

0:39:470:39:53

-Thanks very much to the choir!

0:40:010:40:05

-Thank you!

0:40:090:40:10

-Thank you.

0:40:110:40:12

-Perhaps some of you know

-I've reached sixty this year.

0:40:130:40:17

-The generation brought up on

-The Beatles and Rolling Stones...

0:40:190:40:23

-..have got bus passes!

0:40:240:40:25

-A friend who reached sixty

-saw his doctor for an MOT.

0:40:270:40:31

-"You've got the body of a

-twenty-year-old," said the doctor.

0:40:320:40:36

-"You're very fit.

-When did your father die?"

0:40:370:40:41

-"Who said he's dead?"

-asked my friend.

0:40:420:40:43

-"Is he alive?"

0:40:440:40:45

-"He's 82." "Is he active?"

-"He goes skiing every winter.

0:40:460:40:50

-"He surfs every summer

-in Rhosneigr."

0:40:520:40:54

-"Let's go back a generation. How

-old was your grandad when he died?"

0:40:550:40:59

-"Who said he's dead?"

-"Good heavens! Is he still alive?"

0:41:000:41:04

-"He goes skiing

-for a week every winter...

0:41:050:41:09

-"..and he surfs in Rhosneigr too."

0:41:090:41:12

-"Good grief!"

0:41:130:41:14

-"He's 106 and just got married."

0:41:140:41:19

-"My goodness!

0:41:210:41:22

-"Why on earth would a 106-year-old

-want to get married?!"

0:41:230:41:28

-"Who said he wanted?"

0:41:280:41:30

-Thank you.

0:41:340:41:35

-Well!

0:41:400:41:41

-We've had a fantastic evening.

0:41:420:41:45

-Thanks for being

-such a warm audience.

0:41:450:41:49

-Thanks to all the artistes.

0:41:500:41:52

-Cor Aelwyd yr Ynys.

0:41:530:41:54

-Beaumaris Band.

0:41:590:42:00

-Dafydd Dafis and Pwyll ap Sion.

0:42:010:42:03

-Walter Thomas,

-and that big loud one... Picton.

0:42:050:42:09

-But to close...

0:42:130:42:14

-..it's an honour to introduce

-one of my favourite singers.

0:42:140:42:18

-She was brought up not far

-from here, in Llangristiolus.

0:42:180:42:22

-She's a familiar face and voice

-on the radio and television.

0:42:230:42:26

-Her brother, Gwion, and the

-NOSON LAWEN band will accompany her.

0:42:270:42:31

-Please welcome Meinir Gwilym!

0:42:320:42:35

-It's good to come home to perform.

0:42:410:42:45

-But I'm slightly

-more nervous than usual.

0:42:450:42:49

-Perhaps they expect more of you!

-I hope we'll get a good reaction.

0:42:490:42:52

-# I was blind, I was cold

0:43:040:43:07

-# I was weak,

-like the moon in mid circle

0:43:070:43:14

-# I couldn't see the journey's end

0:43:150:43:18

-# I was hard, my head was spinning

0:43:190:43:22

-# Like a soldier, on the run

0:43:230:43:26

-# Deserting his post

0:43:270:43:29

-# I couldn't tie up the loose ends

0:43:310:43:34

-# Can I apologize

-for being so me, me, me?

0:43:350:43:42

-# Today, I want to say

0:43:420:43:45

-# You're the reason I exist

0:43:470:43:50

-# And if I found the song

0:43:530:43:56

-# It would mention the fire

0:43:570:43:59

-# So elegant and tender

0:44:000:44:02

-# Burning in my heart

0:44:040:44:07

-# About the one who loves you

0:44:080:44:11

-# From the depths of her soul

0:44:120:44:15

-# Oh, how I wish

0:44:160:44:18

-# I could find that song

0:44:190:44:22

-# Can I apologize

-for being so me, me, me?

0:44:230:44:31

-# Today, I want to say

0:44:310:44:33

-# You're the reason I exist

0:44:360:44:39

-# I don't have to try

0:44:390:44:46

-# I can't help myself

0:44:470:44:54

-# Can I apologize

-for being so me, me, me?
