There is nothing like the sound of a Welsh Male Choir and the Treorchy is the finest. They have represented the best of the Welsh voice for generations with honour and integrity. They are international ambassadors.

When I started off in Wales, I sang and accompanied myself with guitar in the '50s. And then I got a band together, which is a rhythm section, really. I used to do a lot of blues, and rhythm and blues, and '50s rock 'n' roll and country, and all kinds of stuff.

I think when you've lived a bit, you read more into the songs. I do, anyway. And you're sort of living the songs rather than performing them.

I realize that singing is saving my life, once I started again.

I was full of fire when I was young. I wanted to attack anything.

I think the first time I ever wore a tuxedo was when I played at the Talk Of The Town in 1967, because it was a nightclub and that was the thing to do.

I didn't have to play rugby that well, and I didn't have to play cricket that well, because I had this voice.
