0:00:05 > 0:00:08- Singing is my day job.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13- Three months ago, I started - with a crew of ordinary workers...
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- ..from three - of Wales's big companies.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18- Sorry, Dan!

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- ..and become their choirmaster.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- Wynne Evans, Edwards Coaches. - Shall I drive?
0:00:55 > 0:01:00- I also learned more about them - as I helped them in their workplace.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05- You're doing great.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11- We started on our journey by hitting - every single wrong note possible!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Don't ****** sing, mun!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Then we performed on Heno.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- We sounded fantastic.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- We sang Benedictus by Sir Karl - Jenkins for the composer himself.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- When I saw him walking - down the aisle, I thought, "Wow!"
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- What an audience!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- We also filmed a pop video - with the legend, Caryl Parry Jones.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- When she walked in, - I thought "Oh, my gosh!"
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- It hasn't been an easy journey.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Now, the choir's ready - to face its final challenge.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- To record a charity single - to raise money for Tenovus.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Let's get to work.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Well, I've completed the challenges - for the six programmes...
0:02:17 > 0:02:23- ..but now, I want the group - to complete one last challenge.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- One very special challenge.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- I asked Hywel Gwynfryn - and Robat Arwyn to help me.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- The choir will join me on stage - during a special concert.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- I'm really looking forward to it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- # A guardian angel... #
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Anfonaf Angel is one of the nation's - favourite songs...
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- ..and I've had the pleasure - of singing it several times.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Robat Arwyn and Hywel Gwynfryn - have teamed up again...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- ..to write this new song.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Songwriting royalty in my house!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Thanks for the welcome.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- How's it going?
0:03:11 > 0:03:12- How's it going?- - Fine, by this stage.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- We've completed the song - but we got off to a shaky start.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- I wanted to write a song - about the great Welsh songs...
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- ..which tell the story - of the country's history.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- I wrote the lyrics - and how did Arwyn respond?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- I can't repeat it here!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Thanks, but no thanks!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- I must admit, it did nothing for me.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44- I was really cruel and I took a few - days to muster the guts to tell him.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45- Nonsense!
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- He's always brutally honest - and that's a good thing.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- It pushed me - to think of some other lyrics.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- We exchanged views a few times.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Well, I was depressed for two months - and I couldn't write a thing!
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- No. I had a rethink and I said, - "I'm still searching for that song."
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- It struck me - that searching for a song was nice.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- That's why I wrote a song - about searching for a song.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20- That developed into the idea - that everyone has a song to sing.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Finally, I got the email telling me - my lyrics would do!
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- I said they would do very nicely - and the lyrics sing out naturally.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Once the lyrics were right, - it was easy to write the music.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35- I want to hear it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- I want to hear it.- - Here we go.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- # There's a song not yet sung
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- # And this is the one
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- # O, I searched for it
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- # To sing it for you
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- # Its message is simple
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- # You know it so well
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- # Since you came into my life
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- # My life is full
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- # You're everything and more to me
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- # You're everything and more to me #
0:05:35 > 0:05:36- Great.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Oh, gosh! Singing in front of you!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- I sing the first lines of the song.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Is it possible to change it?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Yes. It's too low for you.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I must have written it - when I had a cold!
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- It's possible to change it.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- # O, I searched for it
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- # To sing it to you #
0:06:02 > 0:06:03- I prefer that.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- I prefer that.- - You can't change the lyrics though!
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Before the choir hears the song, - I'd better learn it myself.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- In a few weeks, the choir will sing - this song for a live audience.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- There's a lot of work to do.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- I've brought the choir - to Rockfield Studios, near Monmouth.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- We're here to record the song - and do a good job...
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- ..because the proceeds - go to the Tenovus charity.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46- We'll learn and record a new song - which was written for the choir.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- Some of the biggest bands in the - world have recorded at Rockfield...
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- ..including Super Furry Animals - and Coldplay.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04- Apparently, Freddie Mercury and - Queen wrote Bohemian Rhapsody here.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- I just texted my daughter.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15- 'Blur, Queen and Oasis - have recorded here...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- ..and so has your mother!'
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- It's exciting - to follow in stars' footsteps.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24- I feel like a star.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Hold your horses, Mark!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- You've got to record the song first.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- There's real history here - and it's an honour to be here today.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- Geraint Cynan is here - to take control of the recording.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- They must learn a new song - and that's challenging.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Some of them still find it difficult - to understand the lyrics.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- We'll lay down the voices today for - the recording which we'll produce.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59- There's a lot to do.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42- He puts in 100%.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04- The word 'cancer' - refers to many forms of the disease.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- There are - over 300 different cancers.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Why is it important for you - to receive Tenovus funding?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- This sort of research is expensive.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20- That's why it's very important - that we receive funding.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- That's where charities such as - Tenovus are vitally important.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- Tenovus sponsor a number of projects - the length and breadth of Wales.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Is it important - to go into the community?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Yes. Being treated in hospital - has a huge impact on patients.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- You can be stuck in traffic on the - M4 for an hour, have treatment...
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- ..get back on the M4 - and sit in traffic again.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- That happens to cancer patients - every day.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- This is one of the first - mobile units in the world...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- ..offering treatment - for Lymphoedema.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Jan Thomas is a patient - who benefits from this treatment.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- I'm on a machine - called the LymphAssist.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- It helps by pressure - from the fingertips to the top...
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- ..to help move the lymphatic fluid - that's built up in my arm...
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- ..to a part of the body - that will cause it to drain away.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- You had the...
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- I had all the lymph nodes removed - as a result of breast cancer.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- You look like - you've got a superhuman arm!
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- If this is massaging you arm, - it's quite a pleasant process.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- It's very gentle and very relaxing.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- I'm very chilled out - on this piece of equipment.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- You were until we came!
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- You were until we came!- - Yes, until you came.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22- To come to a fantastic facility - like this...

0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Have you thought about joining one?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Have you thought about joining one?- - If I joined, you'd have no members!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- I am tone-deaf.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- You don't want to hear me sing, - believe you me!
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- It's important that people - donate to Tenovus Cancer Care...
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- ..because you then receive funding.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Yes, it's crucial.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- We may have ideas about treatments - for some types of cancer...
0:16:01 > 0:16:02- ..using new drugs...
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- ..but we're totally reliant upon - volunteers who hit the streets...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- ..or who hold fundraising events...
0:16:11 > 0:16:16- ..and on the public who put money - in those collection boxes.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Some of that money comes to - laboratories like this one...
0:16:21 > 0:16:26- ..where we apply basic science - to different types of cancer.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- I'm trying to raise money - via this programme.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- I'm singing to raise money.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Can you sing? - Do you have a good voice?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- I think I'm a great singer - but nobody agrees with me!
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- WYNNE LAUGHS
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- I'm happy to help in the lab today, - if you need me.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- No!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- I think - you'd better stick to singing.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00- Back at the studio...
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- ..there's lots of work to do before - we're ready to record the song.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- More work for some than others.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Once again! One, two, three.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- We rehearsed a song we'll record - for charity this morning.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- To finish with something like that - makes it very special.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- Right! Let's go.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32- It's time to find out if my choir - can follow in the stars' footsteps.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Let's show the famous - Rockfield Studios something new.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- I read the visitor book - to see who's been here before us.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54- It was amazing.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33- # You talk of breaking free #

0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Do you want to do the oohs?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Oh, Geraint! - Where's the harm in one more ooh?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Singing with Wynne - was a good experience.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- This will be available on iTunes - to the whole world.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Everyone can listen to us - bashing a song out!
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- We hadn't heard the music.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- I thought it would be difficult - but Wynne made it easy.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Well done, team two. Brilliant.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- We knew from the start - that this was our aim.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- They're kitted out, - so it's time to see the zip line.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- It starts all the way up there!
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- It looks really far.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- It looks really far.- - Yes, further than I thought.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- What if we stop in the middle?

0:30:31 > 0:30:33- Wow!
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- That was just so amazing.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- If Eirwyn can do it, so can I.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- But it's really far!
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- Yes! I made it!
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- I did it for charity. Brilliant!
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- That really was brilliant.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- It's real now. I'm doing this.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- I'm trying to get my breath back. - I feel drunk.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- We were up there a minute ago.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- I don't know how I'll feel.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Three, two, one!
0:31:22 > 0:31:23- Oh, wow!
0:31:29 > 0:31:30- Woohoo!

0:31:36 > 0:31:37- Whoa!
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- The wind started to blow - and I thought I'd fall!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- Come here.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Well done - to Bethan, Eirwyn and Mark...
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- ..for facing the Zip World challenge - for charity.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- The Bangor Tenovus Choir - congratulates them with a song.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- They're one of 16 Tenovus choirs - across Wales.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23- Some of our members are receiving - treatment and some are in remission.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- The purpose of the choir is - to make the members feel happier.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- We try to inspire them to be happy.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- Research suggests that singing - in a group such as this one...
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- ..lowers the levels of depression.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43- That's important.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- I joined the choir a year ago.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- Unfortunately, - I've lost close friends to cancer.
0:32:51 > 0:32:57- Most recently, I nursed my mother - but, sadly, she passed away.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Some of my friends - were already in the choir...
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- ..and they suggested it may help me - it I joined them.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- I did and it's one of - the best things I've ever done.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- I hadn't realized that cancer - does take a lot from you...
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- ..not just the physical side - but life closes down.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- The choir filled that gap - and opened it up.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- You don't have to be a good singer.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- It's about being part of something - and doing something worthwhile.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- Singing gives you confidence...
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- ..and doing it for charity - gives you a feelgood factor.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- It makes you feel great.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- When we were standing on the top, - listening to the choir...
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- ..after we'd just done - the zip wire...
0:33:53 > 0:33:55- ..I felt a bit emotional.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- I don't know about you two - but I was tearing up.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- # When you need a hand
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- # We all need somebody to lean on #
0:34:06 > 0:34:11- It was amazing to do this today and - I'm gutted that Wynne missed out.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Wynne would have loved it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Yes, he'd have loved it.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Yes, he'd have loved it.- - He'd have bombed down there!
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- Yes, of course I would.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Excellent! A lovely performance.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- The Wynne Ar Waith Choir.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34- My choir faces its final and - greatest challenge after the break.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35- .

0:35:04 > 0:35:06- ..which was written for the choir.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- We're a bit nervous because it's - the first time we've sung it live...
0:35:12 > 0:35:13- ..in front of an audience.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- I've been here a few times...
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- ..and it's nice to be on stage - rather than off stage.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26- I expected it to be a small hall, - not a big stage and lots of seats.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30- It's a big place!
0:35:31 > 0:35:32- I'm nervous now.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- I can't wait - to perform this new song.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- # About a better tomorrow
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- # About breaking free #
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Time for a bit - of last-minute practise.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- There will be hundreds of people - here in two hours.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- No pressure!
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- This song - marks the end of the journey.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- It's a reflection - of what we've achieved too.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- We pulled together and we climbed - a mountain, as the song says.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12- We've reached the top, - so it's a little bit emotional.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- This is the journey's end.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18- Don't worry. One of Wales's most - successful choirs will help us.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Fron Male Voice Choir.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- How are the nerves backstage?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- What time is it? - My phone's off, in case it rings.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30- Ten past seven.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31- Ten past seven.- - 20 minutes.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Seeing everything - has made it all build up.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- We're starting to feel it.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Everything will be fine.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- I've got to do my hair - just before I go on stage...
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- ..or it'll look like a bird's nest!
0:36:55 > 0:36:56- Hair and make-up ready?
0:36:57 > 0:36:58- Oh, God! Yeah - zoom in.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- We're dressed - and we're ready to sing.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- We've been out there - to see the stage and the layout.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- We're ready to sing.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- It's time to step onto the stage.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- Ladies and gentlemen, - I feel sad tonight...
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- ..because it's the final time - they'll sing together.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- Please welcome - The Wynne Ar Waith Choir.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35- # When the starlight is fading
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- # And the thrill - has changed somehow
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- # Don't you ever get downhearted
0:39:45 > 0:39:50- # Let the song sustain you
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- # There are no words, my darling
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- # In the entire world

0:42:16 > 0:42:18- Phew!
0:42:18 > 0:42:22- They looked a bit nervous - but I'm really proud of them all.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- It's easy to forget - that most of them are amateurs.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- The choir has achieved a lot - in a short space of time.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36- When I started doing this series, - I was worried about everything.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- I couldn't believe - they'd chosen me to do it.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- Well done.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43- Well done.- - I was really nervous.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46- I'm not saying I can sing...
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- ..but this experience - has made me a better singer.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Being taught by Wynne was great.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- Hello.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- What will you sing?
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- Being in the choir - was a great experience for me...
0:43:03 > 0:43:08- ..and for the Welsh Water staff from - across Wales who were part of it.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- It's been something very special.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17- I'm sad that it's ending.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- I met lots of new people - and made some new friends.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25- It's been a lovely process.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27- I've had fun.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29- I've had fun.- - Follow me. A big conga now.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- # Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah #
0:43:35 > 0:43:40- Wynne brings something different - to learning to sing.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42- # Ah, ah, ah #
0:43:43 > 0:43:44- Don't tense.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48- Hello, dogs! - Everything alright in the kitchen?
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- The Wynne one? He's OK.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52- He's got a lot to say for himself.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55- This section wasn't great.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- But he can back it up, - so it's only fair.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00- Honk, honk! Ah, ah!
0:44:01 > 0:44:03- The things I'll remember most?
0:44:04 > 0:44:08- Dancing like a fool - to Chwarae'n Troi'n Chwerw.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12- The music video was my favourite.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16- When Wynne and the crew - came to my band practise.
0:44:18 > 0:44:19- It was something else!
0:44:20 > 0:44:21- You're in the band.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23- You're in the band.- - I'm in the band? I am the band!
0:44:25 > 0:44:29- Being on Heno - and getting to sit with Angharad.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- Answering her questions - was a real experience for me.
0:44:34 > 0:44:39- Hearing the singing in the church - was exceptional.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46- The opportunity to sing - for Karl Jenkins in the church...
0:44:46 > 0:44:49- ..was absolutely incredible.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- To meet the man was superb.
0:44:53 > 0:44:58- The highlight has been meeting Wynne - and learning the new songs...
0:44:58 > 0:45:01- ..and seeing all the composers - was exciting.
0:45:02 > 0:45:03- Dancing around your bag.
0:45:05 > 0:45:10- The entire experience of this has - been fun, from beginning to end.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12- We laughed the entire time.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- I've been learning Welsh, - which is good.
0:45:16 > 0:45:21- I find myself saying diolch - in the middle of the day!
0:45:21 > 0:45:23- It's been challenging.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28- There's been times where - we never think we'll get it done.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31- I had so much fun. - I'm so glad I did it.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34- Jasmine - star in the making!
0:45:36 > 0:45:39- Our singing's improved.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49- I enjoyed it. It's been great.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23- I sing all day every day.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27- The radio's always on - and I'm always playing CDs.
0:46:27 > 0:46:31- I work on my own, - so singing keeps me company!
0:46:32 > 0:46:37- This is one of the biggest - experiences I've had in my life.
0:46:37 > 0:46:41- I'm not sure I'll experience - anything like it again.
0:46:42 > 0:46:43- It's been incredible.
0:46:44 > 0:46:48- Three months ago, I started - with a group of ordinary workers...
0:46:48 > 0:46:51- ..and turned them into a choir.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53- It wasn't easy but we succeeded...
0:46:54 > 0:46:56- ..thanks to the power of song.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01- I enjoyed it all - and I hope you enjoyed it too.
