-They are about to discover

-which three songs they could cover.

-Here we are.

-Ffa Coffi Pawb!

-Cool, man!

-Those are quite good.

-That's a bit of a mouthful.

-Yeah.

-We'll see.

-Dax, what do you think?

-The top one.

-Yeah.

-I know them quite well. Are they all

-off the best of Ffa Coffi Pawb?

-Yeah, they are.

-Is it the top one that you like?

-Is it the top one that you like?

-

-That's the one that jumped out.

-Is that the one with brass in it?

-No, I don't think so.

-Lluchia Dy Fflachlwch Drosda I.

-Lluchia Dy Fflachlwch Drosda I.

-# Sega Segur #

-The words are quite good

-in that as well.

-We wouldn't know.

-By the end of the day!

-They're quite easy to sing

-for a learner.

-Yeah, "sega segur".

-We're going to have to do

-something different with it though.

-We're going

-to have to change the key.

-We'll have to change

-the key for you.

-Is that the idea? You're singing?

-No, no, no.

-No, no, no.

-

-It's all open.

-We haven't decided anything.

-We haven't decided anything.

-

-We've got all day!

-Everyone's going for Sega Segur.

-Is everyone happy?

-Happy!

-Great.

-I think we should all try

-the chorus.

-Yeah.

-Are you sure you don't speak Welsh?

-Are you sure you don't speak Welsh?

-

-Positive.

-Wow.

-I'm just thinking... We need

-to make sure... What key is it in?

-It's in E.

-Maybe put the drums and bass down.

-Maybe put the drums and bass down.

-

-Shall we go in there?

-Mari, you've met everyone -

-the lads from Houdini Dax and Owain.

-How do you think

-the day is going to go?

-It's going well. It's cool.

-Houdini Dax have arrived

-and they're a ready-made band!

-We've been going at it,

-jamming the song already.

-They've got

-their own definitive sound too.

-Once that's down, we'll be able

-to have slightly more fun with it.

-Do you think you can persuade them

-to sing a bit?

-Obviously, they don't speak Welsh.

-But it's part of the challenge.

-Yes, I think they're up for it.

-We've sung the chorus a bit already.

-The guys in the band assumed

-I was singing. I said "Oh, no!"

-I'm trying to plant an idea

-that everyone will have a verse.

-Maybe we'll split it up.

-Tennyn, as in a leash on the car

-with a bitch in the back.

-Possibly.

-Possibly.

-

-Female dog, yeah?

-Yeah!

-Cool, good to go?

-Here we go, man.

-It's because usually,

-you know what you're singing...

-..so you just concentrate on your

-vocal take instead of the words.

-Listen to Gruff's take on it.

-There's no energy

-in it at all, anyway.

-Having a go!

-Good. Again!

-Is it the same then? What's this?

-It's these two bars,

-the second time it happens.

-Carry on.

-Jack, you've had a bash

-at singing in Welsh today.

-How has that been?

-How has that been?

-

-It was an experience.

-Yeah, I did enjoy it. It was good.

-Was it harder than you thought?

-Uh, yeah, it was actually.

-I just wanted to get it right

-because I don't know what it means.

-I still don't know what it means.

-We don't know what it means,

-so it's OK.

-Owain, what do you think?

-Has it gone how you expected?

-We've spent the last hour layering

-vocals on top of each other.

-The guys have done amazing things.

-It sounds great and so full.

-I've heard so many good things.

-It's crunch time now.

-We've got an hour left

-to record that.

-But at the minute,

-it sounds great, very full.

-Everyone happy?

-Happy!

-Wonderful!

-Fantastique!

-Wait, no, that's French!

-We'll return to Monnow Valley

-to see more of the song later on.

-Next, Ffug with a song

-off their new album, Mandala.

-Thanks to all the artists

-who took part at Monnow Valley.

-All the songs are up

-on Ochr 1's YouTube channel.

-We've already seen one member on the

-programme tonight at Monnow Valley.

-Here's a brand-new video

-from Llareggub Brass Band.

-Ffug, welcome to the Ochr 1 studio

-for the second time.

-Thanks, it's nice to be back.

-We spent your entire budget

-on this huge sign...

-..so we can't pay you for coming.

-You already knew that.

-Thanks for dropping the Y from

-Y Ffug to make it easier for us.

-Creating a Y on that scale...

-Creating a Y on that scale...

-

-It's a stupid idea.

-Just the angles.

-You're here because you've

-just released your first album.

-Iolo, tell us a little about working

-on the album for the last 18 months.

-The songs... a lot of them

-are so, so new.

-There are songs we came up with

-in the studio.

-We started recording this album

-around two years ago.

-We then rerecorded it.

-You see songs differently after

-listening to them for 18 months!

-You've lost a lot

-of the psychedelic elements...

-..and gone for the punk sounds.

-You've worked on it with members of

-Super Furry Animals, Daf and Cian.

-Is that right?

-More Daf and a little of Chrissy.

-More Daf and a little of Chrissy.

-

-What was that like?

-It was great, man.

-They know what they're doing.

-They know when you need something

-and when you don't.

-It's lovely to record with them.

-It's lovely to record with them.

-

-Have they influenced the album?

-Yeah, kind of.

-Yeah, kind of.

-

-BVs from Daf.

-It feels like we worked

-a lot more with Daf...

-..to get the sound

-to make sense on the album.

-He understands the album...

-..he understands the record

-and he understands us as a band.

-One or two songs,

-Lamp in particular...

-..wouldn't be out of place

-on Fuzzy Logic.

-You can hear the band's influence.

-Was it a privilege

-to work with them?

-Yeah, man.

-Yeah, when I was fifteen

-or fourteen...

-..I wouldn't have believed this.

-I just wouldn't have believed it.

-Being in a band is cool.

-Working with people you've admired

-since you were a child is so cool.

-Could you talk a little about

-the songs you've recorded here?

-A lot of it

-is stream of consciousness stuff.

-What's the song about?

-In terms of the way you write, I've

-spoken to you about it before...

-..you jot down a lot of words

-in your notepad.

-You take it to Billy

-and you play around with it.

-Is that what happened

-with this album?

-Basically, we had the songs already.

-I went to see Daf

-to do a few demos with him.

-Iolo came in

-and did a few vocals on top.

-We then just created an album

-step by step by step.

-The best ones are the 3.00am

-"Oh, yeah, get to the mic." ones.

-I've forgotten to ask this

-until now.

-Where did the connection with those

-members of Super Furries come from?

-Sarah, our manager, picks up her

-child from the same bus stop as Daf.

-That is a great connection. You

-couldn't get a better connection.

-As I said, thanks for coming in.

-Are you alright with taking

-these letters or do you need help?

-Yeah, go on then, why not.

-I'll take them out.

-It's a bit surreal.

-It is a bit.

-That's it for this series of Ochr 1.

-We'll have more content

-on Facebook and Twitter.

-We leave you with Ffug

-and Alcoholic Anorexic tonight.
