0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Every year, - Y Selar presents one award...

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- ..to another giant of the scene, - Geraint Jarman.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Do you think, in a way...
0:13:42 > 0:13:47- ..that people expect - to hear the old songs...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- ..when they hear - that you're playing live?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- In a way, there's no tradition...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- ..as happened last night...
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- ..of an artist - performing an entirely new set.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Is that the fault of the audience - or the culture?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- It's not the audience's fault.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- It's hard for the audience...
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- ..and for songwriters - and music performers in Wales...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- ..because you know - the limitations, in a way.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- There's no point...
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- That, in a way, - is why Gorkys and Catatonia...
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- ..had to turn to English.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- Because there was a glass ceiling - of where they could take it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- But you have to carry on.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42- You have to work very hard - just to exist.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50- Unfortunately, Catatonia - and Gorkys aren't with us now.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51- But Dave Datblygu's still around!
