It was shot and put together very nicely, the external shots and different stages look very nice

Also, instead of saying 'stay at home' like the other channels S4C is telling me that they are 'yma i chi' or 'here for me', which is nice.

Welsh Megaman

Big Leaves were a great little band...saw them live a few times back in the day, much missed.
