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

0:00:020:00:05

-Singing is my day job.

0:00:050:00:08

-Three months ago, I started

-with a crew of ordinary workers...

0:00:090:00:13

-..from three

-of Wales's big companies.

0:00:130:00:16

-Sorry, Dan!

0:00:170:00:18

-You're not drinking that, are you?

0:00:180:00:20

-Arriva Trains Wales...

0:00:210:00:23

-..Edwards Coaches...

0:00:250:00:27

-..and Welsh Water.

0:00:300:00:32

-I wanted to create a choir

-of ordinary people...

0:00:340:00:38

-..with no singing experience...

0:00:410:00:44

-..and become their choirmaster.

0:00:460:00:49

-Wynne Evans, Edwards Coaches.

-Shall I drive?

0:00:510:00:54

-I also learned more about them

-as I helped them in their workplace.

0:00:550:01:00

-You're doing great.

0:01:040:01:05

-We started on our journey by hitting

-every single wrong note possible!

0:01:060:01:11

-Don't ****** sing, mun!

0:01:110:01:13

-Then we performed on Heno.

0:01:160:01:18

-We sounded fantastic.

0:01:180:01:20

-We sang Benedictus by Sir Karl

-Jenkins for the composer himself.

0:01:210:01:25

-When I saw him walking

-down the aisle, I thought, "Wow!"

0:01:270:01:31

-What an audience!

0:01:310:01:33

-We also filmed a pop video

-with the legend, Caryl Parry Jones.

0:01:350:01:39

-When she walked in,

-I thought "Oh, my gosh!"

0:01:400:01:42

-It hasn't been an easy journey.

0:01:450:01:48

-Now, the choir's ready

-to face its final challenge.

0:01:520:01:56

-To record a charity single

-to raise money for Tenovus.

0:01:570:02:01

-Let's get to work.

0:02:050:02:07

-Well, I've completed the challenges

-for the six programmes...

0:02:120:02:16

-..but now, I want the group

-to complete one last challenge.

0:02:170:02:23

-One very special challenge.

0:02:240:02:27

-I asked Hywel Gwynfryn

-and Robat Arwyn to help me.

0:02:270:02:30

-The choir will join me on stage

-during a special concert.

0:02:310:02:35

-I'm really looking forward to it.

0:02:350:02:38

-# A guardian angel... #

0:02:430:02:45

-Anfonaf Angel is one of the nation's

-favourite songs...

0:02:450:02:49

-..and I've had the pleasure

-of singing it several times.

0:02:490:02:53

-Robat Arwyn and Hywel Gwynfryn

-have teamed up again...

0:02:550:02:59

-..to write this new song.

0:02:590:03:01

-Songwriting royalty in my house!

0:03:040:03:06

-Thanks for the welcome.

0:03:070:03:09

-How's it going?

0:03:090:03:11

-How's it going?

-

-Fine, by this stage.

0:03:110:03:12

-We've completed the song

-but we got off to a shaky start.

0:03:130:03:17

-I wanted to write a song

-about the great Welsh songs...

0:03:170:03:21

-..which tell the story

-of the country's history.

0:03:220:03:25

-I wrote the lyrics

-and how did Arwyn respond?

0:03:260:03:29

-I can't repeat it here!

0:03:290:03:31

-Thanks, but no thanks!

0:03:320:03:34

-I must admit, it did nothing for me.

0:03:350:03:37

-I was really cruel and I took a few

-days to muster the guts to tell him.

0:03:390:03:44

-Nonsense!

0:03:440:03:45

-He's always brutally honest

-and that's a good thing.

0:03:460:03:50

-It pushed me

-to think of some other lyrics.

0:03:500:03:53

-We exchanged views a few times.

0:03:540:03:56

-Well, I was depressed for two months

-and I couldn't write a thing!

0:03:570:04:01

-No. I had a rethink and I said,

-"I'm still searching for that song."

0:04:020:04:06

-It struck me

-that searching for a song was nice.

0:04:070:04:10

-That's why I wrote a song

-about searching for a song.

0:04:100:04:14

-That developed into the idea

-that everyone has a song to sing.

0:04:140:04:20

-Finally, I got the email telling me

-my lyrics would do!

0:04:210:04:25

-I said they would do very nicely

-and the lyrics sing out naturally.

0:04:250:04:30

-Once the lyrics were right,

-it was easy to write the music.

0:04:300:04:34

-I want to hear it.

0:04:340:04:35

-I want to hear it.

-

-Here we go.

0:04:350:04:37

-# There's a song not yet sung

0:04:520:04:55

-# And this is the one

0:04:560:04:59

-# O, I searched for it

0:05:000:05:02

-# To sing it for you

0:05:020:05:06

-# Its message is simple

0:05:070:05:09

-# You know it so well

0:05:100:05:12

-# Since you came into my life

0:05:140:05:16

-# My life is full

0:05:160:05:19

-# You're everything and more to me

0:05:200:05:25

-# You're everything and more to me #

0:05:270:05:31

-Great.

0:05:350:05:36

-Oh, gosh! Singing in front of you!

0:05:370:05:40

-I sing the first lines of the song.

0:05:410:05:43

-Is it possible to change it?

0:05:440:05:46

-Yes. It's too low for you.

0:05:460:05:48

-I must have written it

-when I had a cold!

0:05:480:05:51

-It's possible to change it.

0:05:520:05:54

-# O, I searched for it

0:05:560:05:59

-# To sing it to you #

0:05:590:06:01

-I prefer that.

0:06:020:06:03

-I prefer that.

-

-You can't change the lyrics though!

0:06:030:06:05

-Before the choir hears the song,

-I'd better learn it myself.

0:06:060:06:11

-In a few weeks, the choir will sing

-this song for a live audience.

0:06:170:06:22

-There's a lot of work to do.

0:06:230:06:25

-I've brought the choir

-to Rockfield Studios, near Monmouth.

0:06:260:06:30

-We're here to record the song

-and do a good job...

0:06:300:06:35

-..because the proceeds

-go to the Tenovus charity.

0:06:350:06:39

-We'll learn and record a new song

-which was written for the choir.

0:06:400:06:46

-Some of the biggest bands in the

-world have recorded at Rockfield...

0:06:490:06:54

-..including Super Furry Animals

-and Coldplay.

0:06:540:06:57

-Apparently, Freddie Mercury and

-Queen wrote Bohemian Rhapsody here.

0:06:580:07:04

-I just texted my daughter.

0:07:040:07:08

-'I'm in Rockfield Studios.

0:07:080:07:10

-'Blur, Queen and Oasis

-have recorded here...

0:07:110:07:15

-..and so has your mother!'

0:07:150:07:18

-It's exciting

-to follow in stars' footsteps.

0:07:200:07:22

-I feel like a star.

0:07:230:07:24

-Hold your horses, Mark!

0:07:240:07:26

-You've got to record the song first.

0:07:270:07:29

-There's real history here

-and it's an honour to be here today.

0:07:300:07:34

-Geraint Cynan is here

-to take control of the recording.

0:07:360:07:40

-They must learn a new song

-and that's challenging.

0:07:430:07:47

-Some of them still find it difficult

-to understand the lyrics.

0:07:480:07:52

-We'll lay down the voices today for

-the recording which we'll produce.

0:07:530:07:58

-There's a lot to do.

0:07:580:07:59

-We're here to sing a new song.

0:08:000:08:02

-A song written by Robat Arwyn

-and Hywel Gwynfryn.

0:08:020:08:06

-It's a song to raise money

-for the Tenovus cancer charity.

0:08:060:08:10

-I like the lyrics

-but I haven't heard the music yet.

0:08:110:08:16

-We'll see how the rehearsals go.

0:08:160:08:19

-You don't sound

-too confident, Leslie!

0:08:220:08:25

-# A song of hope, a song of faith #

0:08:260:08:29

-You're recording this song today,

-so good luck with that!

0:08:300:08:35

-Good luck to me too!

0:08:350:08:36

-One, two, three!

0:08:370:08:39

-# We all have a song to sing

0:08:400:08:43

-# A song of hope, a song of faith #

0:08:430:08:47

-Once again.

0:08:470:08:49

-One, two, three.

0:08:490:08:51

-# We all have a song to sing

0:08:520:08:56

-# A song of hope... #

0:08:570:08:59

-We're singing a new song - it's new

-to us and it's new to Wynne.

0:08:590:09:03

-We're learning it together

-and that's nice.

0:09:030:09:06

-Gwefr. Gwefr.

0:09:120:09:14

-Say the words again, please.

0:09:140:09:16

-What, all of them?

0:09:160:09:18

-What, all of them?

-

-Yes.

0:09:180:09:19

-When the starlight is fading

0:09:210:09:24

-And the thrill has changed somehow.

0:09:240:09:27

-Did you say werf?

0:09:270:09:29

-Did you say werf?

-

-Werf.

0:09:290:09:30

-You're an expert!

0:09:330:09:34

-Eirwyn!

0:09:360:09:37

-If someone deserves a gold star,

-it's him.

0:09:380:09:41

-Good morning.

0:09:420:09:43

-Good morning.

-

-Hello, Eirwyn.

0:09:430:09:44

-I've got butterflies in my tummy

-but I'll get through it.

0:09:450:09:49

-He taught me to drive a bus.

0:09:530:09:55

-Mr Evans,

-you're like Stars In Their Eyes!

0:09:550:09:58

-Cut! It's the wrong bit.

0:09:590:10:01

-He may be forgetful

-and I almost run him over...

0:10:010:10:04

-Move!

0:10:050:10:07

-Come on. Come on.

0:10:070:10:09

-He gets lost in the rehearsals.

0:10:100:10:12

-You can sing now.

0:10:130:10:15

-Fine. All of us?

0:10:160:10:18

-Fine. All of us?

-

-Yes.

0:10:180:10:19

-I have no idea

-what he's on about half the time!

0:10:220:10:25

-What do you think, Wynne?

0:10:260:10:28

-What do you think, Wynne?

-

-I wish I hadn't asked that question!

0:10:280:10:31

-I have a soft spot for Eirwyn.

0:10:340:10:36

-Ah!

0:10:410:10:42

-Joke!

0:10:430:10:44

-Oh, ****! My heart was in my mouth.

0:10:470:10:49

-He always gives 100%.

0:10:520:10:54

-Wynne has been a wonderful teacher

-right from the start.

0:10:560:11:00

-We have lots of fun with him.

0:11:000:11:02

-He's a lovely man.

0:11:030:11:04

-# Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh #

0:11:050:11:10

-Again, please.

0:11:140:11:15

-# Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh #

0:11:160:11:20

-He knows what to do to teach us,

-from start to finish.

0:11:200:11:25

-I'm gonna miss you.

0:11:290:11:30

-I really will miss you

-after the series ends.

0:11:330:11:36

-Think of the money I'll save

-on counselling!

0:11:360:11:39

-He puts in 100%.

0:11:400:11:42

-I hope we turn out as Wynne wants us

-and sing as he wants us to sing.

0:11:440:11:48

-Ready to record.

0:11:490:11:50

-Coming up, I see the important work

-done by the Tenovus charity...

0:11:510:11:56

-..and dreams come true as the choir

-records the song at Rockfield.

-My choir and I

-are in Rockfield Studios...

0:12:140:12:17

-..to record a charity single

-for Tenovus.

0:12:170:12:20

-The song was written for us

-by Robat Arwyn and Hywel Gwynfryn.

0:12:200:12:25

-To see how the money is spent,

-I've come to Cardiff University...

0:12:270:12:33

-..to meet Arwyn Tomos Jones.

0:12:330:12:36

-He'll show me the important work

-carried out by Tenovus.

0:12:370:12:41

-What sort of work to you do here?

0:12:410:12:43

-In a laboratory like this,

-we study cancer cells.

0:12:440:12:48

-We seek to understand how the cells

-grow, thrive and divide.

0:12:500:12:56

-We also search for new drugs

-to kill them.

0:12:560:13:00

-The word 'cancer'

-refers to many forms of the disease.

0:13:010:13:04

-There are

-over 300 different cancers.

0:13:050:13:08

-Why is it important for you

-to receive Tenovus funding?

0:13:080:13:12

-This sort of research is expensive.

0:13:120:13:15

-That's why it's very important

-that we receive funding.

0:13:150:13:20

-That's where charities such as

-Tenovus are vitally important.

0:13:200:13:24

-Tenovus sponsor a number of projects

-the length and breadth of Wales.

0:13:250:13:30

-It funds research into the causes

-of cancer and into cancer cells.

0:13:310:13:36

-Tenovus also funds

-research into new drugs...

0:13:360:13:39

-..and patient services.

0:13:400:13:41

-Tenovus offers a range of different

-services to cancer sufferers...

0:13:420:13:48

-..one of which

-is the Mobile Support Units.

0:13:490:13:52

-Richard Pugh tells me more.

0:13:530:13:55

-Is it important

-to go into the community?

0:13:570:14:00

-Yes. Being treated in hospital

-has a huge impact on patients.

0:14:000:14:04

-You can be stuck in traffic on the

-M4 for an hour, have treatment...

0:14:040:14:09

-..get back on the M4

-and sit in traffic again.

0:14:100:14:13

-That happens to cancer patients

-every day.

0:14:130:14:16

-This is one of the first

-mobile units in the world...

0:14:170:14:21

-..offering treatment

-for Lymphoedema.

0:14:210:14:24

-Jan Thomas is a patient

-who benefits from this treatment.

0:14:250:14:29

-I'm on a machine

-called the LymphAssist.

0:14:300:14:32

-It helps by pressure

-from the fingertips to the top...

0:14:330:14:36

-..to help move the lymphatic fluid

-that's built up in my arm...

0:14:360:14:40

-..to a part of the body

-that will cause it to drain away.

0:14:400:14:44

-You had the...

0:14:440:14:46

-I had all the lymph nodes removed

-as a result of breast cancer.

0:14:460:14:50

-You look like

-you've got a superhuman arm!

0:14:500:14:53

-If this is massaging you arm,

-it's quite a pleasant process.

0:14:530:14:57

-It's very gentle and very relaxing.

0:14:570:15:00

-I'm very chilled out

-on this piece of equipment.

0:15:000:15:03

-You were until we came!

0:15:030:15:05

-You were until we came!

-

-Yes, until you came.

0:15:050:15:07

-Jan, why is Tenovus Cancer Care such

-an important charity to support?

0:15:080:15:13

-They raise money for people in Wales

-and it's spent on patients in Wales.

0:15:130:15:18

-To come to a fantastic facility

-like this...

0:15:190:15:22

-..means a lot to me personally.

0:15:220:15:24

-Tenovus have got their own choirs.

0:15:250:15:27

-Have you thought about joining one?

0:15:280:15:30

-Have you thought about joining one?

-

-If I joined, you'd have no members!

0:15:300:15:32

-I am tone-deaf.

0:15:320:15:34

-I'm offering you

-a private singing lesson now.

0:15:350:15:38

-You don't want to hear me sing,

-believe you me!

0:15:390:15:42

-It's important that people

-donate to Tenovus Cancer Care...

0:15:470:15:51

-..because you then receive funding.

0:15:510:15:54

-Yes, it's crucial.

0:15:540:15:56

-We may have ideas about treatments

-for some types of cancer...

0:15:560:16:00

-..using new drugs...

0:16:010:16:02

-..but we're totally reliant upon

-volunteers who hit the streets...

0:16:030:16:07

-..or who hold fundraising events...

0:16:090:16:11

-..and on the public who put money

-in those collection boxes.

0:16:110:16:16

-Some of that money comes to

-laboratories like this one...

0:16:170:16:21

-..where we apply basic science

-to different types of cancer.

0:16:210:16:26

-I'm trying to raise money

-via this programme.

0:16:290:16:32

-I'm singing to raise money.

0:16:330:16:35

-Can you sing?

-Do you have a good voice?

0:16:350:16:38

-I think I'm a great singer

-but nobody agrees with me!

0:16:400:16:43

-WYNNE LAUGHS

0:16:440:16:46

-I'm happy to help in the lab today,

-if you need me.

0:16:460:16:49

-No!

0:16:500:16:52

-I think

-you'd better stick to singing.

0:16:520:16:55

-Back at the studio...

0:16:590:17:00

-..there's lots of work to do before

-we're ready to record the song.

0:17:010:17:06

-More work for some than others.

0:17:070:17:10

-Once again! One, two, three.

0:17:100:17:13

-We rehearsed a song we'll record

-for charity this morning.

0:17:140:17:18

-To finish with something like that

-makes it very special.

0:17:200:17:24

-Right! Let's go.

0:17:250:17:26

-It's time to find out if my choir

-can follow in the stars' footsteps.

0:17:270:17:32

-Let's show the famous

-Rockfield Studios something new.

0:17:330:17:37

-I read the visitor book

-to see who's been here before us.

0:17:380:17:42

-Bands like Led Zeppelin,

-Queen and Coldplay.

0:17:430:17:46

-Wow!

0:17:460:17:48

-We're here are we're recording here.

0:17:480:17:51

-It was amazing.

0:17:520:17:54

-I sat where they sat

-and I ate where they ate.

0:17:540:17:57

-Amazing!

0:17:570:17:59

-It's an honour

-to sing on a charity single.

0:18:020:18:05

-Tenovus does some difficult

-and great work.

0:18:050:18:09

-Being part of it is fantastic.

0:18:090:18:11

-The best thing I've done in years.

0:18:110:18:14

-We've been singing for hours and

-I think I'm starting to hear things.

0:18:160:18:21

-LAUGHTER

0:18:280:18:30

-I'm not the only one!

0:18:310:18:32

-One on, one off.

0:18:360:18:37

-We're starting to lose the plot

-but at least we're smiling.

0:18:500:18:54

-Robat Arwyn, we've lost your tune.

0:18:570:18:59

-I'm not sure Alun's on the same page

-as everyone else.

0:19:020:19:06

-Which bit were you singing?

0:19:080:19:10

-The first verse.

0:19:110:19:12

-The first verse.

-

-A bit we haven't done.

0:19:120:19:14

-Again, Wynne?

0:19:180:19:19

-Again, Wynne?

-

-Yes. Why not?

0:19:190:19:21

-I enjoyed the day.

0:19:210:19:22

-I enjoyed getting together again

-and learning a new song.

0:19:230:19:27

-# And you talk of better tomorrows

0:19:270:19:30

-# You talk of breaking free #

0:19:310:19:33

-It's nice to do something

-I wouldn't normally do.

0:19:330:19:36

-It's been a great day.

0:19:360:19:38

-I don't want the day to end.

0:19:380:19:40

-You're the only one, Eirwyn!

0:19:400:19:43

-THE BACKING TRACK STOPS

0:19:430:19:45

-We've got enough oohs.

0:19:480:19:49

-Oh, let them do the oohs!

0:19:500:19:52

-Do you want to do the oohs?

0:19:540:19:56

-Oh, Geraint!

-Where's the harm in one more ooh?

0:19:560:20:00

-Singing with Wynne

-was a good experience.

0:20:030:20:05

-This will be available on iTunes

-to the whole world.

0:20:060:20:10

-Everyone can listen to us

-bashing a song out!

0:20:100:20:14

-We hadn't heard the music.

0:20:160:20:19

-I thought it would be difficult

-but Wynne made it easy.

0:20:190:20:23

-Well done, team two. Brilliant.

0:20:240:20:26

-We knew from the start

-that this was our aim.

0:20:260:20:30

-It's good to get there

-and record it in this place.

0:20:300:20:33

-What an experience!

0:20:330:20:35

-Today has been amazing.

0:20:370:20:39

-After learning the words and

-getting it all down and recorded.

0:20:400:20:45

-I'm looking forward to hearing it.

0:20:450:20:47

-I can always say I sang on that.

0:20:480:20:50

-I'm excited.

0:20:500:20:52

-I just hope

-the mike doesn't pick up my voice.

0:20:520:20:55

-I'm not a great singer.

0:20:570:20:58

-I can't wait

-to hear it on the radio.

0:20:590:21:02

-I'm a superstar now!

0:21:030:21:05

-I was backstage

-but now I'm on that stage.

0:21:050:21:08

-# Ooh #

0:21:090:21:11

-Those oohs were better.

0:21:110:21:13

-I agree.

0:21:130:21:14

-After the break, the song hits the

-nation's ears for the first time...

0:21:160:21:21

-Bore Cothi on BBC Radio Cymru.

0:21:210:21:23

-..and three choristers

-take on a special challenge.

-even the pro had a go.

0:22:020:22:05

-to hear our charity single.

0:22:370:22:41

-Jasmine, Christopher and Julie are

-with Eleri Sion on Radio Wales...

0:22:430:22:47

-Available to download, as we speak.

0:22:480:22:50

-Wynne Evans Ar Waith.

-He's a busy boy!

0:22:520:22:54

-..and Bethan, Eirwyn and I are next

-door with Shan Cothi on Radio Cymru.

0:22:550:23:00

-What do we have here?

-A tenor, an alto, a soprano, a bass?

0:23:000:23:04

-Guess!

0:23:040:23:06

-Are you a baritone?

0:23:060:23:08

-I'll go along with that.

0:23:080:23:09

-In the middle.

0:23:110:23:12

-I still don't know!

0:23:130:23:14

-Listen to the maestro.

0:23:150:23:17

-How did you all sound

-the first time you got together?

0:23:180:23:22

-Terrible! We sounded awful.

0:23:220:23:24

-You would've laughed. It was so bad!

0:23:250:23:28

-He persevered

-and turned us into a choir.

0:23:280:23:31

-Next door,

-Eirwyn is put on the spot.

0:23:310:23:34

-Will you sing a few notes for us?

0:23:340:23:36

-Oh, dear! This is a surprise.

0:23:390:23:41

-Does anything come to mind?

0:23:410:23:43

-I'm not sure about this, Shan!

0:23:460:23:48

-A bit of Tom?

0:23:490:23:50

-A bit of Tom?

-

-Alright then.

0:23:500:23:52

-# The old town looks the same

0:23:520:23:54

-# As I step down from the train #

0:23:550:23:58

-He's changed into a different key!

0:23:580:24:01

-He caught the train!

0:24:010:24:03

-Wonderful.

0:24:030:24:04

-Eirwyn had no idea

-I'd ask him to sing.

0:24:050:24:08

-We've got to remember

-they're all amateurs.

0:24:080:24:11

-Forming a choir in so little time

-and making a record is a big task.

0:24:110:24:16

-It's really easy

-for people to criticize you.

0:24:170:24:21

-Yes, it was a big ask.

0:24:220:24:23

-Yes, it was a big ask.

-

-There was pressure on you.

0:24:230:24:25

-Can Heb Ei Chanu is about a song

-that is yet to be sung...

0:24:260:24:29

-..but it has because

-it's available to download today.

0:24:300:24:34

-Can Heb Ei Chanu.

0:24:350:24:36

-Let's listen to it now

-on BBC Radio Cymru.

0:24:360:24:39

-Sit back and enjoy hearing

-the results of your hard work.

0:24:390:24:43

-The single is a good start...

0:24:450:24:47

-..but we need something else

-to raise more money.

0:24:480:24:51

-I chose one worker

-from each company...

0:24:520:24:55

-..to take a zip wire challenge and

-raise money from their colleagues.

0:24:560:25:01

-Time to cough up, ladies.

0:25:020:25:03

-Lovely. Thank you.

0:25:040:25:06

-Lots of money!

0:25:080:25:09

-Here's the man I want to catch.

0:25:140:25:16

-Hello.

0:25:160:25:17

-Hello.

-

-How are you?

0:25:170:25:18

-Thank you.

-I'm looking forward to it.

0:25:190:25:21

-This is the owner

-of Edwards Coaches.

0:25:230:25:26

-Will you

-put your hand in your pocket?

0:25:260:25:28

-I'm going up to Bethesda

-to do a charity zip wire...

0:25:290:25:32

-..for the programme Wynne A'i Waith.

0:25:320:25:35

-You're doing it?

0:25:350:25:37

-I'd like to see that!

0:25:370:25:38

-Have you got any change?

0:25:390:25:40

-Is that it?

0:25:410:25:42

-I expected more!

0:25:430:25:44

-I've got plenty of change.

0:25:450:25:48

-Do you need change from a 50 note?

0:25:480:25:50

-There you are.

0:25:500:25:52

-Thank you very much.

0:25:520:25:54

-Put your hands in your pockets!

0:25:570:25:59

-Thank you.

0:26:010:26:02

-Finance! These people have money.

0:26:040:26:06

-It went fantastically well

-and we've collected lots of money.

0:26:090:26:14

-Arriva has agreed

-to double whatever we collect.

0:26:140:26:17

-All that's left now is the zip wire.

0:26:180:26:20

-That's the tricky bit.

0:26:200:26:22

-It's going to wonderful, Mark.

0:26:230:26:25

-It's going to wonderful, Mark.

-

-Fantastic. Thank you, Alun.

0:26:250:26:27

-The money has been

-collected and counted.

0:26:280:26:31

-Next, to Bethesda.

0:26:320:26:34

-Zip World, home of the longest...

0:26:350:26:37

-..fastest zip line in Europe.

0:26:380:26:40

-Bethan, Eirwyn and Mark are about

-to find out exactly what they face.

0:26:420:26:47

-Welcome to Zip World.

0:26:470:26:49

-Have you done this before?

0:26:490:26:50

-Have you done this before?

-

-No.

0:26:500:26:51

-Are you looking forward to it?

0:26:520:26:53

-Are you looking forward to it?

-

-How long is it?

0:26:530:26:55

-Just over a mile and you'll reach

-speeds of over 100 miles per hour.

0:26:550:26:59

-I hope you brought

-some spare pants, Eirwyn!

0:27:010:27:05

-Do we get changed here?

0:27:050:27:07

-I'll weigh you.

-The dreaded weigh-in.

0:27:090:27:12

-Then, I'll give you red overalls

-and measure you for the harness.

0:27:120:27:16

-Then, you'll wear

-a helmet and some goggles.

0:27:170:27:20

-Who's going first?

0:27:210:27:23

-Don't look!

0:27:230:27:25

-It feels cold.

0:27:270:27:28

-I wore overalls

-when I worked in a garage.

0:27:310:27:33

-It's quite heavy.

0:27:340:27:36

-Turn around for me.

0:27:370:27:38

-It would be nice to see Wynne do it.

0:27:400:27:43

-It would be nice to see Wynne do it.

-

-He'd go down singing.

0:27:430:27:44

-Yes, we'd all sing.

0:27:450:27:47

-How do I look?

0:27:470:27:49

-How do I look?

-

-Lovely!

0:27:490:27:50

-Should I take my glasses off?

0:27:540:27:56

-Should I take my glasses off?

-

-Not if you want to see the view!

0:27:560:27:58

-They're kitted out,

-so it's time to see the zip line.

0:28:030:28:06

-It starts all the way up there!

0:28:070:28:09

-It looks really far.

0:28:130:28:15

-It looks really far.

-

-Yes, further than I thought.

0:28:150:28:17

-What if we stop in the middle?

0:28:180:28:20

-I'm nervous but really excited too.

0:28:210:28:24

-I want to do it now.

0:28:240:28:25

-Me too.

0:28:250:28:27

-I want to get it done now.

0:28:270:28:29

-Hands out -

-one for all and all for one.

0:28:290:28:32

-Just like the Three Musketeers.

0:28:340:28:37

-Here to support them

-is the Bangor Tenovus Choir.

0:28:380:28:41

-The journey to the top

-is a long one.

0:28:440:28:46

-When they get there,

-everything suddenly feels very real.

0:28:470:28:51

-The adrenaline's kicking in now.

0:28:520:28:55

-Dear me!

0:28:550:28:56

-It's a long way down, boys!

0:28:570:28:58

-It's nothing!

0:29:020:29:03

-I'm excited to do it.

0:29:040:29:05

-It's snowing.

0:29:070:29:09

-Yes, and the wind's cold up here.

0:29:090:29:12

-This is extreme, isn't it?

0:29:130:29:15

-Just in front of where I am.

-This top step here.

0:29:170:29:20

-Spin down to face the other way.

0:29:200:29:23

-That's it. Lovely.

0:29:270:29:28

-That's it. Lovely.

-

-There's no going back, Beth.

0:29:280:29:30

-OK, enjoy in three, two, one!

0:29:320:29:36

-Ah!

0:29:380:29:40

-Ah!

-

-Wha-ha!

0:29:400:29:41

-Holy ****!

0:29:460:29:48

-Oh, my God!

0:29:510:29:53

-Fantastic!

0:29:570:29:58

-Wahoo!

0:30:110:30:13

-I've done it!

0:30:200:30:21

-I did it!

0:30:220:30:23

-Oh, wow!

0:30:240:30:25

-That's the most brilliant thing

-I've ever done.

0:30:270:30:31

-Wow!

0:30:310:30:33

-That was just so amazing.

0:30:330:30:35

-If Eirwyn can do it, so can I.

0:30:370:30:39

-But it's really far!

0:30:390:30:41

-Yes! I made it!

0:30:410:30:43

-I did it for charity. Brilliant!

0:30:440:30:46

-That really was brilliant.

0:30:520:30:54

-It's real now. I'm doing this.

0:30:560:30:59

-I'm trying to get my breath back.

-I feel drunk.

0:31:030:31:06

-We were up there a minute ago.

0:31:060:31:08

-I don't know how I'll feel.

0:31:120:31:14

-Three, two, one!

0:31:150:31:17

-Oh, wow!

0:31:220:31:23

-Woohoo!

0:31:290:31:30

-Woohoo!

0:31:330:31:35

-Whoa!

0:31:360:31:37

-The wind started to blow

-and I thought I'd fall!

0:31:530:31:57

-Come here.

0:31:590:32:01

-Well done

-to Bethan, Eirwyn and Mark...

0:32:020:32:05

-..for facing the Zip World challenge

-for charity.

0:32:050:32:09

-The Bangor Tenovus Choir

-congratulates them with a song.

0:32:090:32:13

-They're one of 16 Tenovus choirs

-across Wales.

0:32:140:32:17

-Some of our members are receiving

-treatment and some are in remission.

0:32:180:32:23

-The purpose of the choir is

-to make the members feel happier.

0:32:230:32:27

-We try to inspire them to be happy.

0:32:280:32:30

-Research suggests that singing

-in a group such as this one...

0:32:320:32:36

-..lowers the levels of depression.

0:32:360:32:39

-That's important.

0:32:420:32:43

-I joined the choir a year ago.

0:32:430:32:45

-Unfortunately,

-I've lost close friends to cancer.

0:32:470:32:51

-Most recently, I nursed my mother

-but, sadly, she passed away.

0:32:510:32:57

-Some of my friends

-were already in the choir...

0:32:570:33:00

-..and they suggested it may help me

-it I joined them.

0:33:010:33:04

-I did and it's one of

-the best things I've ever done.

0:33:060:33:10

-I hadn't realized that cancer

-does take a lot from you...

0:33:110:33:15

-..not just the physical side

-but life closes down.

0:33:150:33:19

-The choir filled that gap

-and opened it up.

0:33:210:33:24

-You don't have to be a good singer.

0:33:270:33:29

-It's about being part of something

-and doing something worthwhile.

0:33:300:33:34

-Singing gives you confidence...

0:33:350:33:37

-..and doing it for charity

-gives you a feelgood factor.

0:33:370:33:41

-It makes you feel great.

0:33:410:33:43

-When we were standing on the top,

-listening to the choir...

0:33:450:33:50

-..after we'd just done

-the zip wire...

0:33:500:33:53

-..I felt a bit emotional.

0:33:530:33:55

-I don't know about you two

-but I was tearing up.

0:33:550:33:59

-# When you need a hand

0:34:010:34:03

-# We all need somebody to lean on #

0:34:040:34:06

-It was amazing to do this today and

-I'm gutted that Wynne missed out.

-Wynne would have loved it.

0:34:110:34:13

-Yes, he'd have loved it.

0:34:130:34:15

-Yes, he'd have loved it.

-

-He'd have bombed down there!

0:34:150:34:17

-Yes, of course I would.

0:34:170:34:20

-Excellent! A lovely performance.

-The big day is here.

0:34:500:34:51

-My choir has gathered in Newtown

-for our final challenge.

0:34:520:34:56

-We've arrived at Hafren, in Newtown,

-where we'll perform the song...

0:34:570:35:03

-..which was written for the choir.

0:35:040:35:06

-We're a bit nervous because it's

-the first time we've sung it live...

0:35:070:35:11

-..in front of an audience.

0:35:120:35:13

-I've been here a few times...

0:35:150:35:17

-..and it's nice to be on stage

-rather than off stage.

0:35:170:35:21

-I expected it to be a small hall,

-not a big stage and lots of seats.

0:35:210:35:26

-It's a big place!

0:35:290:35:30

-I'm nervous now.

0:35:310:35:32

-I can't wait

-to perform this new song.

0:35:330:35:36

-# About a better tomorrow

0:35:370:35:39

-# About breaking free #

0:35:390:35:41

-Time for a bit

-of last-minute practise.

0:35:420:35:44

-There will be hundreds of people

-here in two hours.

0:35:450:35:48

-No pressure!

0:35:490:35:51

-This song

-marks the end of the journey.

0:35:540:35:57

-It's a reflection

-of what we've achieved too.

0:35:570:36:00

-We pulled together and we climbed

-a mountain, as the song says.

0:36:010:36:05

-We've reached the top,

-so it's a little bit emotional.

0:36:080:36:12

-This is the journey's end.

0:36:120:36:14

-Don't worry. One of Wales's most

-successful choirs will help us.

0:36:140:36:18

-Fron Male Voice Choir.

0:36:210:36:23

-How are the nerves backstage?

0:36:230:36:25

-What time is it?

-My phone's off, in case it rings.

0:36:260:36:29

-Ten past seven.

0:36:290:36:30

-Ten past seven.

-

-20 minutes.

0:36:300:36:31

-Seeing everything

-has made it all build up.

0:36:360:36:39

-We're starting to feel it.

0:36:390:36:41

-Everything will be fine.

0:36:430:36:45

-I've got to do my hair

-just before I go on stage...

0:36:480:36:52

-..or it'll look like a bird's nest!

0:36:520:36:54

-Hair and make-up ready?

0:36:550:36:56

-Oh, God! Yeah - zoom in.

0:36:570:36:58

-We're dressed

-and we're ready to sing.

0:36:580:37:01

-We've been out there

-to see the stage and the layout.

0:37:010:37:05

-We're ready to sing.

0:37:060:37:08

-It's time to step onto the stage.

0:37:100:37:13

-Ladies and gentlemen,

-I feel sad tonight...

0:37:130:37:17

-..because it's the final time

-they'll sing together.

0:37:170:37:21

-Please welcome

-The Wynne Ar Waith Choir.

-# There's a song not yet sung

0:37:510:37:55

-# And this is the one

0:37:550:37:58

-# O, I searched for it

0:37:590:38:02

-# To sing it for you

0:38:030:38:05

-# Its message is simple

0:38:070:38:09

-# You know it so well

0:38:090:38:12

-# Since you came into my life

0:38:130:38:16

-# My life is full

0:38:160:38:19

-# You're everything and more to me

0:38:200:38:26

-# You're everything and more to me

0:38:280:38:33

-# What an exhausting journey

0:38:340:38:37

-# To reach this place

0:38:380:38:41

-# Your arms support me

0:38:430:38:45

-# They hold me so tight

0:38:450:38:48

-# And although that path

0:38:490:38:52

-# May be rocky and steep

0:38:530:38:56

-# I climbed that mountain

0:38:560:38:59

-# I found the strength

0:39:000:39:03

-# To sing this song for you

0:39:040:39:10

-# To sing this song for you

0:39:110:39:17

-# We all have a song to sing

0:39:180:39:21

-# A song of hope, a song of faith

0:39:220:39:25

-# A song about a better tomorrow

0:39:250:39:28

-# About breaking free

0:39:290:39:31

-# When the starlight is fading

0:39:320:39:35

-# And the thrill

-has changed somehow

0:39:360:39:40

-# Don't you ever get downhearted

0:39:410:39:44

-# Let the song sustain you

0:39:450:39:50

-# There are no words, my darling

0:40:020:40:06

-# In the entire world

0:40:060:40:09

-# Which can fully express

0:40:090:40:13

-# Just how I feel

0:40:130:40:16

-# You love is a melody

0:40:170:40:19

-# With my life intertwined

0:40:210:40:23

-# Its sweet harmonies

0:40:240:40:26

-# Unite we two

0:40:260:40:29

-# An eternal duet we shall be

0:40:310:40:37

-# An eternal duet we shall be

-# Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh #

0:42:000:42:09

-Phew!

0:42:160:42:18

-They looked a bit nervous

-but I'm really proud of them all.

0:42:180:42:22

-It's easy to forget

-that most of them are amateurs.

0:42:220:42:26

-The choir has achieved a lot

-in a short space of time.

0:42:270:42:31

-When I started doing this series,

-I was worried about everything.

0:42:310:42:36

-I couldn't believe

-they'd chosen me to do it.

0:42:360:42:39

-Well done.

0:42:400:42:42

-Well done.

-

-I was really nervous.

0:42:420:42:43

-I'm not saying I can sing...

0:42:450:42:46

-..but this experience

-has made me a better singer.

0:42:470:42:50

-Being taught by Wynne was great.

0:42:510:42:54

-Hello.

0:42:540:42:56

-What will you sing?

0:42:570:42:59

-Being in the choir

-was a great experience for me...

0:42:590:43:03

-..and for the Welsh Water staff from

-across Wales who were part of it.

0:43:030:43:08

-It's been something very special.

0:43:090:43:12

-I'm sad that it's ending.

0:43:150:43:17

-I met lots of new people

-and made some new friends.

0:43:180:43:21

-It's been a lovely process.

0:43:230:43:25

-I've had fun.

0:43:250:43:27

-I've had fun.

-

-Follow me. A big conga now.

0:43:270:43:29

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

0:43:290:43:32

-Wynne brings something different

-to learning to sing.

0:43:350:43:40

-# Ah, ah, ah #

0:43:410:43:42

-Don't tense.

0:43:430:43:44

-Hello, dogs!

-Everything alright in the kitchen?

0:43:440:43:48

-The Wynne one? He's OK.

0:43:480:43:50

-He's got a lot to say for himself.

0:43:500:43:52

-This section wasn't great.

0:43:530:43:55

-But he can back it up,

-so it's only fair.

0:43:550:43:58

-Honk, honk! Ah, ah!

0:43:580:44:00

-The things I'll remember most?

0:44:010:44:03

-Dancing like a fool

-to Chwarae'n Troi'n Chwerw.

0:44:040:44:08

-The music video was my favourite.

0:44:100:44:12

-When Wynne and the crew

-came to my band practise.

0:44:130:44:16

-It was something else!

0:44:180:44:19

-You're in the band.

0:44:200:44:21

-You're in the band.

-

-I'm in the band? I am the band!

0:44:210:44:23

-Being on Heno

-and getting to sit with Angharad.

0:44:250:44:29

-Answering her questions

-was a real experience for me.

0:44:290:44:33

-Hearing the singing in the church

-was exceptional.

0:44:340:44:39

-The opportunity to sing

-for Karl Jenkins in the church...

0:44:420:44:46

-..was absolutely incredible.

0:44:460:44:49

-To meet the man was superb.

0:44:500:44:52

-The highlight has been meeting Wynne

-and learning the new songs...

0:44:530:44:58

-..and seeing all the composers

-was exciting.

0:44:580:45:01

-Dancing around your bag.

0:45:020:45:03

-The entire experience of this has

-been fun, from beginning to end.

0:45:050:45:10

-We laughed the entire time.

0:45:100:45:12

-I've been learning Welsh,

-which is good.

0:45:130:45:16

-I find myself saying diolch

-in the middle of the day!

0:45:160:45:21

-It's been challenging.

0:45:210:45:23

-There's been times where

-we never think we'll get it done.

0:45:240:45:28

-I had so much fun.

-I'm so glad I did it.

0:45:280:45:31

-Jasmine - star in the making!

0:45:320:45:34

-Our singing's improved.

0:45:360:45:39

-I think

-it's given us some confidence.

0:45:390:45:43

-It was a lovely experience,

-thank you.

0:45:430:45:46

-I enjoyed it. It's been great.

0:45:470:45:49

-I hope to carry on singing,

-so watch this space!

0:45:500:45:54

-I've had experiences few people have

-and working with Wynne was exciting.

0:45:560:46:02

-I really enjoyed it.

0:46:020:46:03

-It's over,

-but the experience was marvellous.

0:46:050:46:08

-Do you speak Welsh?

0:46:090:46:10

-Do you speak Welsh?

-

-No.

0:46:100:46:11

-It makes me feel proud

-to be part of it.

0:46:120:46:15

-Any singing experience

-is good as far as I'm concerned.

0:46:170:46:21

-I sing all day every day.

0:46:210:46:23

-The radio's always on

-and I'm always playing CDs.

0:46:240:46:27

-I work on my own,

-so singing keeps me company!

0:46:270:46:31

-This is one of the biggest

-experiences I've had in my life.

0:46:320:46:37

-I'm not sure I'll experience

-anything like it again.

0:46:370:46:41

-It's been incredible.

0:46:420:46:43

-Three months ago, I started

-with a group of ordinary workers...

0:46:440:46:48

-..and turned them into a choir.

0:46:480:46:51

-It wasn't easy but we succeeded...

0:46:510:46:53

-..thanks to the power of song.

0:46:540:46:56

-I enjoyed it all

-and I hope you enjoyed it too.

0:46:570:47:01

-Thank you very much

-and keep singing.

0:47:010:47:03

-Thank you, Wynne.

0:47:040:47:05

-To Wynne.

0:47:070:47:08

-To you.
