-We'll learn about the chapel's

-history from one of its deacons.

0:00:430:00:48

-I'll have the pleasure of visiting

-one of the members' beauty salon.

0:00:480:00:53

-We'll enjoy a performance

-by Ynyr Llwyd...

0:00:540:00:57

-..and the Denbigh Male Voice Choir.

0:00:580:01:01

-We begin with our first hymn,

-Pwyso Ar Ei Fraich.

0:01:030:01:07

-We're in Denbigh

-to celebrate the fact...

0:02:490:02:52

-..that Capel y Fron has been

-a house of worship for 150 years.

0:02:520:02:57

-I'm joined by one of its deacons,

-Richard Snelson.

0:02:570:03:01

-It's a very picturesque setting.

0:03:080:03:10

-The town of Denbigh

-is steeped in history.

0:03:100:03:13

-Yes, it's a historical town, Alwyn.

0:03:140:03:16

-There are more listed buildings

-and houses in Denbigh...

0:03:160:03:21

-..than any other town in Wales.

0:03:210:03:23

-Behind us are the ruins

-of the imposing castle...

0:03:230:03:27

-..and in front of us

-is the tower of St Ilar's Church...

0:03:270:03:32

-..an ancient structure

-that was demolished in the 1920s.

0:03:320:03:37

-Venture through the town...

0:03:370:03:39

-..and you'll see

-many exquisite buildings.

0:03:390:03:42

-We're very proud of the town.

0:03:420:03:44

-Capel y Fron celebrates

-its 150th anniversary this year.

0:03:450:03:49

-Tell me about its origins.

0:03:490:03:51

-The 1850s saw the arrival...

0:03:510:03:54

-..of the railway

-between Rhyl and Denbigh.

0:03:540:03:57

-With it came a population increase.

0:03:580:04:02

-There was no chapel

-at the bottom of the town.

0:04:020:04:05

-Everyone had to climb

-the steep hill to the large chapel.

0:04:050:04:10

-However, in 1865...

0:04:100:04:13

-..it was decided that a chapel would

-be erected in the town itself...

0:04:130:04:18

-..hence the construction

-of Capel y Fron.

0:04:180:04:23

-You're a chapel deacon...

0:04:240:04:26

-..and you recently removed

-the traditional pews.

0:04:260:04:30

-We recently noticed that the floor

-was decaying and the pews were old.

0:04:300:04:35

-There was damp too,

-so three years ago...

0:04:350:04:38

-..we ripped out the interior...

0:04:380:04:41

-..and renovated it.

0:04:410:04:43

-We installed a new floor, central

-heating and a new sound system.

0:04:430:04:48

-We replaced the pews with

-more comfortable, portable chairs.

0:04:480:04:52

-Though the chapel

-still fulfils the same purpose...

0:04:530:04:56

-..it's used for

-a variety of different causes.

0:04:570:05:00

-It's used

-for concerts and lectures...

0:05:000:05:03

-..and we even play bowls inside

-the chapel once a week in winter.

0:05:030:05:08

-Bowls?

0:05:080:05:09

-Bowls?

-

-Yes, on carpet.

0:05:090:05:10

-I wonder what the old faithful

-would think of that?

0:05:110:05:13

-It was meant to be played

-in the vestry...

0:05:140:05:17

-..but it was

-a few yards too short...

0:05:170:05:21

-..so we had to move.

0:05:210:05:23

-It works well and attracts people...

0:05:230:05:26

-..who would otherwise

-not set foot inside the chapel.

0:05:260:05:30

-Like many towns in Wales,

-Denbigh has a male voice choir.

0:09:100:09:14

-Next is a performance by them.

0:09:140:09:16

-Arwyn Roberts, the conductor,

-is a resident of the town.

0:09:170:09:21

-This is Gareth Glyn's arrangement

-of Yn Y Man.

0:09:210:09:25

-# There's a land

-that is fairer than day

0:09:310:09:37

-# And by faith we can see it afar

0:09:370:09:42

-# For the Father waits over the way

0:09:430:09:48

-# To prepare us

-a dwelling place there

0:09:480:09:53

-# In the sweet by and by

0:09:530:09:58

-# We shall meet

-on that beautiful shore

0:09:580:10:03

-# In the sweet by and by

0:10:030:10:08

-# We shall meet

-on that beautiful shore

0:10:080:10:13

-# We shall sing

-on that beautiful shore

0:10:170:10:21

-# The melodious songs

-of the blessed

0:10:210:10:25

-# And our spirits

-shall sorrow no more

0:10:260:10:31

-# Not a sigh

-for the blessing of rest

0:10:310:10:35

-# In the sweet by and by

0:10:350:10:40

-# We shall meet

-on that beautiful shore

0:10:400:10:44

-# In the sweet by and by

0:10:450:10:49

-# We shall meet

-on that beautiful shore

0:10:490:10:54

-# So beautiful

0:10:580:11:07

-# To our bountiful Father above

0:11:080:11:15

-# We will offer

-our tribute of praise

0:11:160:11:22

-# For the glorious gift of his love

0:11:230:11:28

-# And the blessings

-that hallow our days

0:11:290:11:33

-# In the sweet by and by

0:11:330:11:37

-# We shall meet

-on that beautiful shore

0:11:370:11:41

-# In the sweet by and by

0:11:420:11:46

-# We shall meet

-on that beautiful shore

0:11:460:11:50

-# In the sweet by and by

0:11:510:11:57

-# We shall meet

0:11:570:12:00

-# On that beautiful shore

0:12:000:12:06

-# Amen #

0:12:080:12:15

-That was the Denbigh Male Voice

-Choir performing Yn Y Man.

0:12:160:12:20

-It's time for our next hymn,

-which is full of maritime imagery.

0:12:210:12:25

-The author is Sion Aled, who was

-inspired to write the words...

0:12:250:12:29

-..in a period of spiritual awakening

-among the youth of Wales in 1982.

0:12:290:12:34

-O Llanwa Hwyliau D'Eglwys.

0:12:350:12:37

-I've come to meet a woman

-who was brought up in Capel y Fron.

0:14:150:14:19

-Julie Howatson-Broster.

0:14:190:14:22

-Julie runs a beauty salon

-in the town.

0:14:220:14:25

-I wonder

-if she could do anything for me?

0:14:260:14:29

-You've attended Capel y Fron

-all your life.

0:14:340:14:37

-Do you regard it as a second home?

0:14:380:14:40

-Yes, definitely, it's one

-of those places where I feel safe...

0:14:410:14:45

-..from the minute I walk in.

0:14:450:14:47

-The congregation and the people

-I've been brought up with...

0:14:470:14:51

-..are like family.

0:14:510:14:53

-You play the organ in chapel.

0:14:530:14:55

-Has the music you play

-during the collection changed?

0:14:550:14:59

-Yes, without a doubt.

0:15:000:15:02

-I said, "If I'm going to play the

-organ, I have to play modern songs."

0:15:020:15:07

-When I hear some pop songs, I think,

-'This'd be great on the organ.'

0:15:070:15:13

-You own your own beauty salon

-called Visage.

0:15:130:15:16

-It's an exotic name.

-Where did it come from.

0:15:160:15:19

-It's French for face.

0:15:190:15:21

-I thought of the name 20 years ago

-when I set it up.

0:15:220:15:25

-I regret not choosing a Welsh name.

0:15:250:15:28

-I'd have chosen

-a Welsh name for it these days.

0:15:280:15:31

-I didn't want an English name,

-so I chose Visage.

0:15:310:15:34

-What sort of treatments

-do you offer?

0:15:350:15:37

-We do all kinds of things -

-manicures, pedicures...

0:15:380:15:41

-..and make-up,

-especially for weddings.

0:15:420:15:45

-The most important treatment

-we offer...

0:15:450:15:48

-..and one

-we do a lot of is massage.

0:15:480:15:50

-People lead busy lives

-and they need it.

0:15:500:15:53

-Forgive me for asking, but this

-might be my first and last visit...

0:15:540:15:59

-..to a beauty salon.

0:15:590:16:01

-What treatment

-do you recommend for me?

0:16:010:16:04

-You look dapper today and

-I'm sure you look after yourself.

0:16:040:16:08

-You lead a busy life, so I think

-a head massage would be nice.

0:16:090:16:13

-I doubt you sleep very well,

-so it'll switch you off...

0:16:140:16:17

-..and get rid of all that stress.

0:16:180:16:20

-Is it difficult

-combining beauty and religion?

0:16:290:16:33

-One is superficial

-and the other is spiritual.

0:16:330:16:37

-Yes, but lately,

-I feel that they both go together.

0:16:380:16:43

-When I go to chapel

-on a Sunday morning...

0:16:440:16:47

-..it's hard to get up

-if I've worked hard all week.

0:16:470:16:50

-But once I'm there,

-I start to switch off.

0:16:500:16:53

-That's what

-I try to create at the salon...

0:16:530:16:56

-..when people come for a massage.

0:16:570:16:59

-It's important that we all switch

-off, either in chapel or in a salon.

0:16:590:17:05

-How do you feel?

0:17:060:17:08

-Very relaxed.

0:17:080:17:11

-I feel like a brand new man, Julie.

-Thank you.

0:17:110:17:14

-Next is a performance by Ynyr Llwyd.

0:17:140:17:17

-# Bring back your smile

0:17:170:17:23

-# For me

0:17:240:17:29

-# Tell me

0:17:310:17:37

-# What's on your mind

0:17:370:17:44

-# Are you

-carrying the weight of the world?

0:17:450:17:50

0:17:510:17:57

-# I'll do my best to show you

0:17:590:18:05

0:18:060:18:11

0:18:130:18:18

0:18:190:18:24

-# You're always in my heart

0:18:260:18:30

-# Listen

0:18:320:18:37

-# To my words

0:18:380:18:43

-# Yes, I'll do

0:18:450:18:51

-# Anything for you

0:18:510:18:58

-# Do you understand by now?

0:18:590:19:03

-# The sun will shine again one day

0:19:050:19:10

-# I'll do my best

0:19:130:19:15

-# To show you

0:19:150:19:18

-# That things aren't all bad

0:19:190:19:25

-# In time this'll become clear

0:19:260:19:31

-# You're worth your weight in gold

0:19:330:19:37

-# You're always in my heart

0:19:390:19:45

-# Oo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

0:19:460:19:49

-# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

0:19:490:19:53

-# Ooh-ooh-ooh #

0:19:540:19:58

-It's time for our final hymn

-from Capel y Fron, Denbigh.

0:20:190:20:24

-I hope you've enjoyed the programme

-and that you'll join us next week.

0:20:240:20:29

-If I told you the hymn tune

-is Ebenezer, Ton-y-Botel...

0:20:290:20:33

-..many of you

-will have guessed the words.

0:20:330:20:36

-Dyma Gariad Fel Y Moroedd,

-Tosturiaethau Fel Y Lli.

0:20:370:20:40
