0:01:09 > 0:01:12- From Tredegar to New York

0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Cardiff, mid-February.

0:01:23 > 0:01:29- Only Men Aloud meet for their - three-hour biweekly rehearsal.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Choreographer Debbie Chapman - is busy warming up the lads.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38- The warm-ups are hard. - Debbie works us to the bone.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Not for us! It's easy for us.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Speak for yourself! - I struggle a bit.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51- Their tenth birthday concert - is fast approaching.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57- It's only ten days - until the concert.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01- We're under pressure because - the place is a lot smaller.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06- So we're running out of time.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09- The boys must concentrate tonight.

0:02:09 > 0:02:14- They must remember every movement - and every note.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- But they're not all concentrating.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Musical director Tim Rhys-Evans - isn't happy.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- That was mezzoforte and it took me - four bars to get you to stop!

0:02:32 > 0:02:38- We like having fun and sometimes - we don't know when to stop.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44- So Tim has been strict with us - tonight, which is necessary.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48- That's the only way to be - disciplined and get things done.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Tim's come down hard on us tonight.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Come on, boys! Stop meandering - and just move with energy.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00- There are lots - of larger-than-life personalities.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- A lot of the boys - are close friends...

0:03:03 > 0:03:08- ..and enjoy every minute - of rehearsing and singing together.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- But tonight, I just wasn't - in the mood for banter.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15- So I was shouting at the boys!

0:03:15 > 0:03:21- # Guide me, O thou great Jehovah

0:03:24 > 0:03:30- # Pilgrim through this barren land #

0:03:31 > 0:03:35- The songs aren't all - the boys have to think about.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39- They have complex choreography moves - to remember as well.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46- I'm not quite sure how many routines - we have to do for the songs.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50- But with this - ten-year anniversary concert...

0:03:50 > 0:03:56- ..we do major routines - for about twenty songs.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01- There's some choreography - in most of the pieces we perform.

0:04:03 > 0:04:09- # When I tread the verge of Jordan #

0:04:09 > 0:04:15- Only Men Aloud have come a long way - since they formed ten years ago.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17- # Ba ba-ra ba ba-ra

0:04:18 > 0:04:21- # It's not unusual - to be loved by anyone

0:04:21 > 0:04:23- # Ba-ra ba-ra ba-ra #

0:04:24 > 0:04:29- In the early days, practising - was not a word used regularly...

0:04:30 > 0:04:31- ..by Only Men Aloud.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35- We performed some of the pieces - for the first time on the stage!

0:04:36 > 0:04:38- # No matter what you say #

0:04:39 > 0:04:45- I don't think you can call - what we did back then choreography.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- We sometimes did a little kick - or put our hands up.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- # Sit down, sit down, sit down

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- # Sit down, you'll rock the boat #

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- But now, - things have changed completely.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Tim works us very hard.

0:04:58 > 0:05:03- We've reached the point now - where we could easily fall.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07- We must continue with the hard work - to keep up the standard.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11- I formed Only Men Aloud - in January 2000.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- I wanted to start up - a new and fresh-looking choir.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- I also wanted to pay tribute - to the tradition.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Not too much.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31- In the early days of Only Men Aloud, - there were two important events.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- The first was Cor Cymru.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41- We decided to take part - in the 2003 Cor Cymru competition.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45- We won the male choir category.

0:05:45 > 0:05:50- I realized then that Only Men Aloud - are quite unique.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- They give us - a different dimension...

0:05:56 > 0:06:00- ..to what we perceive as male voice - singing, which is fantastic.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- It's a different way and - a new dimension to be treasured.

0:06:07 > 0:06:13- The second important event - was Cothi and Cream with Shan Cothi.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15- # Hello, Dolly! #

0:06:16 > 0:06:20- With Cothi and Cream, - we thought for the first time...

0:06:21 > 0:06:25- ..about the whole show - and not just individual pieces.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Well, Shan Cothi. Hello!

0:06:28 > 0:06:33- I was very excited - about working with men!

0:06:35 > 0:06:37- # I hear it tinkle

0:06:37 > 0:06:39- # See the lights

0:06:39 > 0:06:41- # See the lights- - # I see them twinkle

0:06:41 > 0:06:47- We had ideas about harmonizing - and staging a show.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- We had big ideas.

0:06:50 > 0:06:55- We saw lights, set, stage, rostra.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Names in lights!

0:06:58 > 0:07:04- Without Cothi and Cream, Only Men - Aloud would not be where we are now.

0:07:04 > 0:07:10- # Jazz

0:07:10 > 0:07:13- # That jazz #

0:07:17 > 0:07:19- The day after the rehearsal...

0:07:20 > 0:07:23- ..Tim is back in his hometown - of New Tredegar.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25- He's looking for a venue...

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- ..for Only Men Aloud's - tenth anniversary concert.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32- It's also his weekly visit - to see his mother and grandmother.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37- This is the view from the bedroom - where I grew up.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- My mother still lives here.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- I have many memories - of sitting here for hours on end...

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- ..looking at the view - and the chapel.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52- I remember feeling a little bit - of an oddity now and again.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56- I wanted to play the piano, - not rugby.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00- The rugby club - was the focal point of the village.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- But I wanted to play the piano.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- From a little baby, he loved music.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12- We sat him down in his little crib - and played music.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- He would just lie there and listen - to it. It was really strange.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Yes, strange, that's the word!

0:08:19 > 0:08:23- For a child that age, - it was unusual.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Hello.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Following a cuppa with his mother, - he visits his grandmother.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33- Yes, this is it.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35- Tim and Beth.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Oh, no. I'm dreading this.

0:08:40 > 0:08:45- # In sin and error pining #

0:08:45 > 0:08:51- I think I inherited - my musical talent from my nana.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53- It's my tie!

0:08:53 > 0:08:54- It's my tie!- - I know it's your tie.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- So how old was I? About 12?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Yes.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- # The weary world rejoices #

0:09:05 > 0:09:09- I spent a lot of time here - over the years...

0:09:10 > 0:09:14- ..especially as a young boy - because Nana had a piano.

0:09:14 > 0:09:20- I came here straight from school - every day to play the piano.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- I think that's quite enough of that!

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- ORGAN MUSIC

0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Carmel Chapel in the village - is very close to my heart.

0:09:36 > 0:09:41- As a child, I played the organ - in the Sunday services.

0:09:42 > 0:09:48- When I was 14, I started up a choir - of members from different churches.

0:09:48 > 0:09:54- This is where Only Men Aloud's first - concert was held ten years ago.

0:09:54 > 0:09:59- I remember there were around - 150 people in the audience.

0:10:00 > 0:10:05- We were a brand-new choir - with a very unusual name.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09- I was pleased - to have one person in the audience!

0:10:10 > 0:10:15- When I was considering a venue - for our tenth anniversary concert...

0:10:15 > 0:10:20- ..I thought about the CIA - and St David's Hall.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25- But I thought - it would be far more appropriate...

0:10:25 > 0:10:31- ..to bring the choir back to - New Tredegar to perform once again.

0:10:32 > 0:10:32- .

0:10:36 > 0:10:38- 888

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- There's only one week to go - until Only Men Aloud...

0:10:41 > 0:10:45- ..perform a special concert - to mark their tenth anniversary.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49- They're busy preparing - at the choir's headquarters.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Tim has received - an important e-mail.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- I've received this exciting e-mail.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00- Four members of the choir - and I...

0:11:00 > 0:11:06- ..are going to New York in March - to launch our PBS programme.

0:11:06 > 0:11:12- But I've just received an e-mail - saying that the Assembly...

0:11:13 > 0:11:16- ..wants the entire choir - to go to New York to perform.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21- To perform in New Tredegar - and New York in the same month...

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- ..would be fantastic!

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- It's an opportunity - for Only Men Aloud...

0:11:27 > 0:11:29- ..to start making their mark - in the USA.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- It comes just two years - after winning Last Choir Standing...

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- ..and signing a contract with - Universal worth over 1 million.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Everything's totally different.

0:11:40 > 0:11:46- Before the competition, we performed - in church halls and school halls.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Now, we're performing in arenas.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53- I'm running Only Men Aloud - as a business now, not a hobby.

0:11:53 > 0:11:58- But a contract worth over 1 million - isn't much between 20 members.

0:11:58 > 0:11:59- How are you, kids?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Who's winning?

0:12:01 > 0:12:05- It's 9.00pm and bass singer - Tim Edwards is busy at work...

0:12:05 > 0:12:07- ..at the Urdd Centre in Cardiff Bay.

0:12:07 > 0:12:08- Which colour am I?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Which colour am I?- - Red.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13- A lot of people don't realize...

0:12:13 > 0:12:17- ..that the majority of us in Only - Men Aloud have to work as well.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Some mow lawns.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Some teach the trumpet.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30- I work with Urdd Gobaith Cymru - here at the centre.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Pete also works here - as a night warden.

0:12:34 > 0:12:39- The most important thing is I can - slide this across to keep you out!

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- This is my first payslip.

0:12:42 > 0:12:42- Better than nothing!

0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Better than nothing!- - Better than nothing!

0:12:47 > 0:12:51- It's been Tim's ambition - for a long time...

0:12:51 > 0:12:56- ..for us to become Wales' first - full-time professional choir.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00- He's hoping Only Men Aloud - can fill that hole.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03- I'm sure we'd all be over the moon - if he succeeds.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08- But it would be hard - to employ twenty men full-time.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- There are four days to go...

0:13:12 > 0:13:16- ..until Only Men Aloud's important - tenth anniversary concert.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Tim, Craig and Wyn are on their way - to New Tredegar to prepare.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- But before that, - they stop for a bite to eat.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Two bacon and eggs and one bacon - and mushroom, please?

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- We had some fantastic news - last night.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Only Men Aloud's album, Band of - Brothers, has been nominated...

0:13:35 > 0:13:40- ..in the Album of the Year category - for the Classical Brit Awards.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- I'm overjoyed!

0:13:42 > 0:13:46- But there's fierce competition - in the category...

0:13:46 > 0:13:48- ..including an album by the Pope.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53- To think we're sharing - a Brit nomination with the Pope!

0:13:53 > 0:13:57- I'm sure he's standing on top - of a mountain near the Vatican...

0:13:57 > 0:14:00- ..eating a bacon and mushroom bap - as well!

0:14:00 > 0:14:02- There he is! Good morning!

0:14:05 > 0:14:10- After arriving at Carmel Chapel, - the smiles soon disappear.

0:14:10 > 0:14:16- The stage isn't as big - as I thought it would be.

0:14:16 > 0:14:22- I thought it was 8m x 6m - but it's actually 6m x 4m.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25- We have a piano...

0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Yes, the cameraman - wrote down the wrong measurements!

0:14:32 > 0:14:37- We might have to use my Casio.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39- It has a stand so it'll be fine!

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Tim leaves Wyn and Craig - to solve the problem.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- He goes to hand out tickets - to the local people.

0:14:51 > 0:14:51- Are you coming to the concert?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Are you coming to the concert?- - Yes.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55- How many tickets do you need?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57- How many tickets do you need?- - Joe needs ten.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Gwen needs two and Rose needs eight.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03- How many do you need, Rose?

0:15:03 > 0:15:04- How many do you need, Rose?- - Eight.

0:15:05 > 0:15:05- Are you both coming?

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Are you both coming?- - Yes, we have to.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- I'm the tea lady - who'll be making you cups of tea!

0:15:10 > 0:15:11- You must be there!

0:15:12 > 0:15:15- I didn't know - what time we'd be meeting.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17- I've been waiting since 1.30pm!

0:15:18 > 0:15:19- I'm sorry. I was always late!

0:15:19 > 0:15:21- I'm sorry. I was always late!- - Come on in.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25- There's an incredible atmosphere - in the village.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30- It's a pleasure - to watch you on television.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Thank you very much.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36- I don't remember it ever being - like this in New Tredegar.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- It's great to be home.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46- But before the special concert - in New Tredegar...

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- ..Only Men Aloud - have an important meeting in London.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54- They've been invited to perform - on a charity single...

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- ..in aid of the Haiti appeal.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00- As long as you'll be ready - to sing top Bs straight away!

0:16:03 > 0:16:04- Tim has good reason to worry.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09- The men only have an hour to learn - the piece before the recording.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13- They call in to their managers' - offices in London to rehearse.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Does everyone know - which notes they are singing...

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- ..in the last part of five?

0:16:27 > 0:16:31- We saw the music for the first time - about half an hour ago...

0:16:32 > 0:16:34- ..when we arrived here.

0:16:35 > 0:16:40- We haven't had much time to rehearse - but I think it's coming together.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- I hope it goes well. It'll be - alright on the night as they say!

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- We often see a piece of music - for the first time on the day.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52- I think everyone can read the music - and perform it well too.

0:16:52 > 0:16:57- We want to record it perfectly - and quickly as well.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00- We're now ready - to go to AIR Studios...

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- ..and hopefully - we'll record it in one go!

0:17:06 > 0:17:11- Ten minutes later, the men arrive - at the famous AIR Studios.

0:17:11 > 0:17:16- They're back where they recorded - their first album in 2008.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27- These guys are good, - documentary team.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Only Men Aloud - are different from other choirs...

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- ..because of the sound they make.

0:17:35 > 0:17:40- I'm lucky to be standing next to men - who've had professional training.

0:17:41 > 0:17:48- That's what makes the sound and the - power the men create when they sing.

0:17:54 > 0:17:59- Only Men Aloud are quite unique.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02- The choir has that extra spark.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Tim brings that spark.

0:18:06 > 0:18:11- He wants Only Men Aloud to be the - best choir they can possibly be...

0:42:01 > 0:42:06- It's tough because they've mentioned - a tour here, Australia...

0:42:06 > 0:42:08- ..South Africa and Japan.
