0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Is yours a personal collection?
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- I have to be honest. About 40% - of them are personal albums.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- The idea was to weed out what I had.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- But, when you go to a record fair - you see things you want to buy.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29- I know people want records like - Cam O'r Tywyllwch and Ail Symudiad.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- I keep an eye out for them - to please my customers.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- By now, people come - to talk to me about music...
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- ..and to ask me about Welsh records - and which ones are good.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- I look for them - in order to sell them on.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- I think I sold you Cam O'r Tywyllwch - for a very cheap price.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47- Yes, it was very reasonable.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24- Can I just say, I got one - from Radio Cymru in 2004.
0:30:24 > 0:30:30- It was just a bloody plinth with - what looked like a penis on it...
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- ..with nails coming out of it.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- It looked like an implement - for hitting people.

0:31:39 > 0:31:40- We're over the moon.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- The main thing - is that Dyl Mei didn't win.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48- There's felt.- - Don't do that. It goes through me.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- It puts a value - on your hard-earned success.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Ows put the hard work in. - I haven't done anything.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- I don't want to take the piss...

0:33:06 > 0:33:08- You know, it's not exactly - like an Oscar!
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- But you didn't have to because - somebody else already has.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35- How many of you are there?
0:34:35 > 0:34:36- How many of you are there?- - Nine.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- We don't really rehearse. - We've never had a proper rehearsal.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- We could do it without rehearsing...
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- ..but when we do, - everything's a bit tighter.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48- We should do more.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- We should do more.- - Oh, really?
