-I'm Wynne Evans and I love to sing.

0:00:020:00:05

-Singing is my day job.

0:00:050:00:08

-I want to know if there's

-a hidden singer in us all.

0:00:140:00:18

-I'll work with three companies in

-Wales to create a workers' choir...

0:00:240:00:30

-..to record a charity single and

-perform live with me, in concert.

0:00:300:00:36

-This is a huge challenge.

0:00:410:00:43

-A month has passed

-since my journey began.

0:00:500:00:53

-I've travelled all over Wales...

0:00:530:00:57

-..in search of singers

-who work for three big companies.

0:00:570:01:02

-Welsh Water, Arriva Trains Wales

-and Edwards Coaches.

0:01:020:01:07

-I rolled up my sleeves

-to get a taste of the work they do.

0:01:070:01:11

-With the help of three mentors

-plus Geraint Cynan...

0:01:130:01:16

-..I auditioned the good

-and the not so good.

0:01:170:01:20

-I chose the best 28 singers

-to form my choir...

0:01:230:01:27

-..and I've got just eight weeks

-to create a great choir.

0:01:270:01:31

-On with the singing!

0:01:320:01:34

-The crew gathers

-for the first choir rehearsal...

0:01:380:01:42

-..at the Millennium Centre.

0:01:420:01:45

-The choristers are quite excited.

0:01:460:01:49

-They include

-the train conductor, Mark.

0:01:490:01:52

-It's nice to be down south,

-in Cardiff.

0:01:520:01:55

-This is like Las Vegas!

0:01:570:02:00

-Elwyn can't have travelled much,

-but what about Eirwyn?

0:02:020:02:06

-I'm looking forward to singing

-with a professional like Wynne.

0:02:060:02:11

-Good boy, Eirwyn!

0:02:110:02:13

-Julie seems nervous.

0:02:130:02:15

-I'm nervous because I can't sing!

0:02:160:02:18

-You may have

-said that before, Julie.

0:02:210:02:24

-These hard workers must learn

-three songs in two days.

0:02:240:02:30

-First of all, they need to relax.

0:02:310:02:33

-APPLAUSE

0:02:330:02:35

-Northwalians,

-welcome to civilization!

0:02:390:02:42

-You seem puzzled.

0:02:420:02:44

-That's called an electric light.

0:02:440:02:47

-That broke the ice,

-so let's do some vocal exercises.

0:02:500:02:54

-# Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

0:02:560:03:00

-# Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

0:03:010:03:05

-# Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah #

0:03:060:03:09

-Many of these people

-have only ever sung in the shower...

0:03:090:03:14

-..so first,

-they must learn the basics.

0:03:150:03:17

-Before you can sing,

-you must know how to breathe.

0:03:200:03:26

-You must breathe deeply.

0:03:270:03:29

-Breathe from the tummy.

0:03:290:03:32

-I've got a big tummy.

-You're agreeing and that's so rude!

0:03:320:03:37

-Al, come here, please.

0:03:380:03:40

-Are you feeling strong?

0:03:400:03:42

-Come on, then. Breathe and sing.

0:03:420:03:44

-# Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah #

0:03:460:03:49

-What's happening?

0:03:490:03:50

-What's happening?

-

-His shoulders moved.

0:03:500:03:52

-Yes. Your shoulders moved.

0:03:530:03:56

-Breathe deeply from the tummy.

0:03:570:04:00

-That's the one!

0:04:010:04:02

-Once again.

0:04:040:04:06

-# Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah #

0:04:080:04:10

-Very good. Thank you.

0:04:100:04:12

-One more thing you must do

-is open your throat.

0:04:130:04:17

-Imagine, ladies, that David Beckham

-is over there and he's naked.

0:04:180:04:22

-THEY GASP

0:04:240:04:25

-No, not you!

0:04:270:04:28

-Just practising!

0:04:300:04:32

-OK, sing it once again.

0:04:350:04:37

-Remember to open the throat

-and breathe deeply.

0:04:370:04:41

-# Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah... #

0:04:450:04:48

-Phew! That could've been a disaster

-but they sound good.

0:04:510:04:55

-They're in tune with Geraint too.

0:04:560:04:58

-What do you reckon?

0:04:580:05:00

-What do you reckon?

-

-It's not bad, so far.

0:05:000:05:02

-I don't think

-we scared too many of them.

0:05:020:05:04

-At least

-you got them to breathe properly.

0:05:050:05:08

-They've got energy and they're keen.

0:05:100:05:12

-They've got energy and they're keen.

-

-Yes, they are.

0:05:120:05:14

-There's a nice feeling here

-and they work well as a choir.

0:05:140:05:19

-There's no time to waste.

-Here's the first song.

0:05:210:05:24

-Pan Fo'r Nos Yn Hir.

0:05:250:05:26

-Thank you, maestro.

0:05:260:05:28

-I chose this not only

-because it's a lovely song...

0:05:320:05:35

-..but also because I hope the group

-feels comfortable when they sing it.

0:05:360:05:42

-It's a perfect first song.

0:05:430:05:45

-# Whene'er the night is long

0:05:470:05:53

-# And dawn won't break

0:05:540:05:59

-# Battle through endless hours... #

0:06:010:06:06

-I think there's real potential here.

0:06:060:06:09

-Some of the best singers

-need a little confidence boost.

0:06:110:06:15

-Gethin, an apprentice

-with Welsh Water, is one of those.

0:06:150:06:19

-When I met Gethin at the auditions,

-I thought he had a good voice.

0:06:200:06:26

-# My true love sleeps

-Within her dwelling #

0:06:270:06:33

-I decided

-to try to boost his confidence...

0:06:370:06:40

-..using a distraction method

-on the water.

0:06:410:06:45

-Do you enjoy singing in the choir?

-I'm not sure because you're quiet.

0:06:450:06:50

-Yes, but I feel the people around me

-are better singers than me.

0:06:510:06:56

-No! You're a good singer.

0:06:560:06:59

-I feel a bit shy about it.

0:07:010:07:03

-That's why I brought you here today.

0:07:030:07:06

-If you do something else

-the same time as you sing...

0:07:060:07:09

-..it takes your mind

-off the singing.

0:07:090:07:12

-Make sense?

0:07:120:07:14

-I hope so. Come on!

0:07:150:07:16

-Hit the water.

0:07:170:07:18

-If you don't express the emotion

-of the song to the audience...

0:07:200:07:24

-..they lose interest.

0:07:250:07:26

-You've got to step out of your

-comfort zone to boost confidence.

0:07:270:07:31

-I'll share a secret with you -

-I hate being on the water!

0:07:320:07:36

-Sing the first line of the song.

0:07:370:07:40

-# Whene'er the night is long

0:07:400:07:43

-# Whene'er... #

0:07:430:07:46

-Did you take a deep breath

-and open your throat?

0:07:460:07:49

-# Whene'er the night is long #

0:07:500:07:52

-# Whene'er the night...#

0:07:530:07:55

-Hopeless!

0:07:560:07:57

-Stand up, please!

0:07:580:07:59

-Take a deep breath and sing!

0:08:030:08:05

-# Whene'er... #

0:08:100:08:11

-Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

0:08:190:08:22

-Once again!

0:08:240:08:26

-# Whene'er the night is long #

0:08:260:08:29

-Professional, as ever!

0:08:300:08:32

-Abandon ship!

0:08:330:08:34

-You're a good singer.

0:08:380:08:40

-You've got to believe

-you're a good singer.

0:08:400:08:43

-One more time.

0:08:430:08:45

-Breathe deeply and open your throat.

0:08:460:08:48

-Stand up straight.

0:08:480:08:50

-# Whene'er the night is long #

0:08:500:08:53

-# Whene'er the night is long #

0:08:550:09:00

-Yeah!

0:09:000:09:02

-Every time you sing...

0:09:020:09:04

-..I want you to imagine

-you're on the water and you're cold.

0:09:040:09:08

-And just sing. Yeah?

0:09:100:09:12

-OK.

0:09:130:09:14

-If he can sing

-whilst in a canoe with me...

0:09:160:09:19

-..he can sing anywhere!

0:09:190:09:21

-Back in the rehearsal room,

-they've learned the tune.

0:09:220:09:26

-Can they also learn

-the two-part harmony?

0:09:270:09:30

-Voice one. Voice two.

0:09:310:09:33

-Let's start with voice one.

0:09:330:09:35

-# Whene'er the night is long

0:09:370:09:43

-# And dawn won't break

0:09:430:09:48

-# Battle through endless hours... #

0:09:490:09:55

-Rhythm!

0:09:550:09:56

-This where it gets difficult...

0:09:590:10:02

-..especially for inexperienced

-singers like Nia, the train driver.

0:10:020:10:07

-The difficult thing is putting

-the different voices together.

0:10:070:10:12

-We're all singing different notes

-in different octaves.

0:10:120:10:17

-As the lead singer of a punk band,

-Bethan is used to singing solos.

0:10:180:10:23

-You're surrounded

-by different sections.

0:10:270:10:30

-I'm singing one note and the person

-next to me is singing another note.

0:10:300:10:35

-# Struggle on, toss and turn

-Through the long hours... #

0:10:360:10:42

-Not bad!

0:10:430:10:45

-I think they need

-some constructive criticism.

0:10:450:10:48

-Voice two.

0:10:500:10:51

-At the moment,

-it's a little bit... rubbish.

0:10:520:10:55

-You're a bit quiet.

0:10:550:10:57

-After three,

-imagine you're in a nightclub.

0:10:580:11:02

-The Riviera in Carmarthen, yeah?

0:11:040:11:06

-You've been in the Riviera,

-dancing around your handbag!

0:11:070:11:11

-One, two, three, oi!

0:11:120:11:13

-One, two, three.

0:11:140:11:15

-Oi!

0:11:160:11:17

-Oi!

-

-Very good. I thought you were dead!

0:11:170:11:19

-Watch!

0:11:250:11:27

-# Becomes day #

0:11:280:11:30

-That's better! More oomph.

0:11:300:11:32

-# Night becomes day #

0:11:330:11:38

-I have an announcement...

0:11:380:11:40

-..which will either cheer them up

-or terrify them!

0:11:400:11:44

-The thing is, next Thursday.

0:11:440:11:47

-Next Thursday,

-you'll sing Pan Fo'r Nos Yn Hir...

0:11:500:11:55

-..on the TV programme, Heno.

0:11:570:11:59

-Oh, no!

0:12:010:12:03

-Oh yes, Eirwyn! The choir

-makes its TV debut in a week's time.

0:12:050:12:10

-I'll tell my family to tune in

-to see me sing in a choir on TV!

0:12:120:12:16

-I never thought I'd see that day.

0:12:160:12:19

-But Mark doesn't feel so confident.

0:12:200:12:23

-I'm nervous.

0:12:260:12:27

-I thought it was just a bit

-of singing but this is serious!

0:12:270:12:31

-I don't know how it'll go.

0:12:310:12:33

-They'll sing for the nation

-in a week's time.

0:12:330:12:37

-At the moment,

-it sounds like 30 people in a pub.

0:12:370:12:40

-Yes, like 30 individuals.

0:12:410:12:43

-I've got to just...

0:12:430:12:44

-That's your job!

0:12:450:12:47

-You must make them

-sound like a united choir.

0:12:480:12:51

-Will my choir be ready for Heno?

0:12:520:12:54

-You have no energy.

0:12:550:12:56

-Will this be

-the longest night of my life?

0:12:570:13:00

-I'm Wynne Evans

-and I'm tackling a huge challenge.

0:13:070:13:11

-I'm looking for singers

-from three big companies...

0:13:110:13:15

-..to turn them into a choir good

-enough to record a charity single...

0:13:150:13:20

-..and perform with me in concert.

0:13:210:13:24

-The choir is learning its first song

-- Pan Fo'r Nos Yn Hir.

0:13:240:13:29

-In just a week...

0:13:310:13:33

-..we'll perform on Heno -

-one of S4C's most popular shows.

0:13:330:13:38

-Time is short and some people

-aren't even singing the right notes.

0:13:380:13:42

-# Ni

0:13:430:13:44

-# Ni

-

-# Ni

0:13:440:13:45

-# Up an octave

0:13:450:13:47

-# Higher again

0:13:470:13:49

-# Ni #

0:13:490:13:51

-You got it!

0:13:510:13:53

-# Then, in that dark, black place #

0:13:540:13:59

-If you sing too strongly at first,

-it's hard to build something.

0:14:000:14:05

-That's why you must take it steady.

0:14:060:14:08

-Build, build, build.

0:14:090:14:10

-That's the end of the rehearsal

-and they've done really well.

0:14:130:14:18

-What does Geraint think?

0:14:180:14:20

-So...? We had a hard day.

0:14:210:14:23

-Very hard.

0:14:230:14:24

-I'm tired now.

0:14:240:14:26

-I'm tired now.

-

-Me too.

0:14:260:14:28

-Generally, it all went well.

0:14:280:14:31

-Generally, it all went well.

-

-Yes. We did some good work.

0:14:310:14:33

-One of them told me they want to

-join a choir right now!

0:14:350:14:38

-I hope they don't do it right now.

-I want them to come back tomorrow!

0:14:400:14:45

-One man I'll never forget is Eirwyn,

-the Edwards Coaches bus driver.

0:14:460:14:51

-He made my dream come true...

0:14:530:14:55

-All aboard!

0:14:560:14:58

-..when he taught me to drive a bus.

0:14:590:15:01

-Bus driver.

0:15:020:15:04

-Eirwyn can be too keen at times.

0:15:050:15:07

-Nobody sing.

-I'm going to sing the note.

0:15:080:15:11

-# Mm #

0:15:110:15:12

-Don't sing!

0:15:140:15:16

-Don't bloody sing, mun!

0:15:210:15:24

-It's lovely to be able to help him

-be part of a choir.

0:15:250:15:29

-Why did you decide

-to come and audition for the choir?

0:15:320:15:36

-Well, I was in the right place

-at the right time.

0:15:360:15:40

-I walked in

-to the Edwards Coaches office...

0:15:400:15:43

-..and there were TV people there.

0:15:470:15:49

-They asked me if I'd take part

-in a show called Wynne Ar Waith.

0:15:490:15:54

-I said, "Who's Wynne?"

0:15:550:15:57

-They told me it was the man off the

-telly who does the .com Pear ads.

0:15:570:16:02

-The .com Pear ads?

0:16:020:16:04

-I knew you came from Carmarthen.

0:16:040:16:06

-I told them to put my name down.

0:16:070:16:10

-Just look at me now!

0:16:100:16:11

-I'm on the beach with my dogs,

-sitting next to you.

0:16:110:16:15

-You seem happy all the time.

-Does anything get you down?

0:16:180:16:22

-Yes.

0:16:220:16:23

-When my wife goes on

-about things I don't need to know...

0:16:240:16:28

-..when I come home

-after a long day...

0:16:280:16:30

-..and Liverpool losing games.

0:16:310:16:33

-Apart from those things, I am happy.

0:16:340:16:36

-Yes, you are.

0:16:370:16:39

-Do you have a dream?

0:16:400:16:41

-Yes.

0:16:440:16:45

-As I said, I'm a Liverpool fan.

0:16:450:16:48

-What about Spurs?

0:16:500:16:51

-What about Spurs?

-

-Yuck!

0:16:510:16:53

-When I go to Liverpool,

-I stand under The Shankly Gates.

0:16:530:16:57

-Have you seen The Shankly Gates?

0:16:580:16:59

-Have you seen The Shankly Gates?

-

-Yes.

0:16:590:17:00

-I always watch the bus bringing the

-players to the match from the hotel.

0:17:010:17:06

-I'd like to drive that bus one day.

0:17:060:17:08

-That's my dream.

0:17:090:17:10

-Good luck.

0:17:100:17:11

-Good luck.

-

-Thank you.

0:17:110:17:13

-I'll tell you a story, Wynne.

0:17:130:17:15

-When we toured up north,

-here's what we did.

0:17:170:17:20

-Three days later and Eirwyn's

-just about finished his story...

0:17:210:17:25

-..in time to drive everyone

-to the Heno studio in Llanelli.

0:17:260:17:30

-The big day is here.

0:17:330:17:35

-Work commitments mean

-only 18 choristers could make it...

0:17:360:17:40

-..but the show must go on.

0:17:400:17:43

-We've got time

-for one last rehearsal.

0:17:430:17:46

-THEY SING SCALES

0:17:480:17:50

-# Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah #

0:17:540:17:58

-This time, go like this as you sing.

0:17:590:18:02

-Shake!

0:18:060:18:08

-# Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah #

0:18:130:18:17

-Very good. And again.

0:18:170:18:19

-# Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah #

0:18:190:18:22

-Al, come here.

-You're shaking like this.

0:18:220:18:25

-I'm pumped up, see? I can't do it.

0:18:290:18:31

-Relax.

0:18:320:18:34

-# Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah #

0:18:340:18:37

-Let's do it!

0:18:370:18:38

-Let's do it!

-

-# Ah-ah ah-ah #

0:18:380:18:40

-Everybody, a big conga now, OK?

0:18:410:18:44

-# Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah

0:18:440:18:48

-# Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah #

0:18:480:18:51

-Gwyn, you're too cool.

0:18:530:18:55

-"Whatever!"

0:18:550:18:56

-It's high time we started to sing.

0:19:030:19:05

-Three, four!

0:19:070:19:08

-# Whene'er... #

0:19:090:19:11

-At the moment it's flat.

0:19:120:19:13

-You've got no energy.

0:19:160:19:17

-# Whene'er the night #

0:19:170:19:21

-Oh, look!

-There's naked David Beckham!

0:19:210:19:24

-Remember?

0:19:260:19:27

-Yeah, you remember!

0:19:280:19:29

-Some people say I look like him.

0:19:310:19:33

-I'm laughing

-to try to mask my fears.

0:19:340:19:37

-Half an hour before

-we face the television cameras...

0:19:370:19:41

-..and we've got to

-go over the basics again!

0:19:410:19:44

-# Through the long hours

0:19:450:19:47

-# An endless yesterday... #

0:19:480:19:51

-The time has come

-for the choir's debut performance.

0:19:520:19:56

-I'm excited but I'm also nervous.

0:19:560:19:59

-I'm not sure

-everything will be great...

0:19:590:20:03

-..but I hope the choir enjoys it.

0:20:040:20:08

-Make-up, lights, camera, action!

0:20:100:20:15

-# Then in that dark, black place

0:20:180:20:24

-# I clearly see your face

0:20:250:20:30

-# And no more fears,

-Fright disappears

0:20:310:20:37

-# When night becomes day

0:20:370:20:46

-# Night becomes day #

0:20:470:20:54

-APPLAUSE

0:20:560:20:58

-Congratulations to you all.

0:21:010:21:03

-You were brilliant!

0:21:040:21:06

-Eirwyn, come and join us.

0:21:060:21:08

-You came on Heno in September.

0:21:090:21:11

-Did you enjoy that?

0:21:120:21:13

-Did you enjoy that?

-

-Yes, we all enjoyed it.

0:21:130:21:15

-Wynne is an excellent teacher,

-I must say.

0:21:150:21:18

-Not only that, he comes from

-the same place as me.

0:21:180:21:22

-We're both Carmarthen boys

-and we stick together.

0:21:220:21:26

-Carmarthen boys and girls!

0:21:260:21:27

-Carmarthen boys and girls!

-

-Yes, I'm a Carmarthen girl.

0:21:270:21:29

-Thank you all

-for performing tonight.

0:21:300:21:32

-It was lovely to have you here.

-Thank you.

0:21:340:21:37

-They deserve

-another round of applause.

0:21:370:21:39

-They gave it their all...

0:21:440:21:46

-..and they succeeded.

0:21:470:21:48

-Fantastic! I never thought

-I'd do something like this on TV.

0:21:520:21:57

-We sounded fantastic, didn't we?

0:21:570:21:59

-I enjoyed learning how cameras work

-and how television works.

0:22:010:22:05

-It was a good experience.

0:22:050:22:07

-It was really nice to come down on

-the bus with everyone this morning.

0:22:080:22:13

-We all had a chance to chat

-and then we did this!

0:22:140:22:18

-It was a lovely day.

0:22:180:22:19

-We work more as a choir now

-rather than as separate companies.

0:22:200:22:24

-We've bonded.

0:22:250:22:26

-The first task is completed.

0:22:270:22:29

-I can't believe how good my choir is

-after such a short space of time.

0:22:290:22:34

-They weren't perfect, but after

-just a couple of days' rehearsal...

0:22:360:22:41

-..they've become a choir

-which sounds pretty good.

0:22:410:22:44

-But this is just the beginning.

0:22:460:22:48

-Next time, my choir sings a modern

-masterpiece for a special audience.
