Watch: First trailer released for Spirit of ’22 World Cup film

//= do_shortcode('[in-content-square]')?>The first teaser trailer has been released for new independent film Spirit of ’22, which will document Welsh football fans experiences of the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. There would only be about 50-70 Welsh fans in the stadium. I think that the Wales fans who were at those stadiums possibly kept the football team alive. “In the film (The Red Wall) there is a fan called David Jones, who is still in disbelief that Wales have qualified for a tournament. “This film is going to be vox-popping, very much like The Red Wall.

Plaid Cymru launch ‘radical’ People’s Plan they say will help tackle cost-of-living crisis

//= do_shortcode('[in-content-square]')?>A “radical” People’s Plan they say will help tackle the cost-of-living crisis has been launched by Plaid Cymru. Slashing energy prices, freezing rents and cheaper public transport are at the heart of Plaid Cymru’s plan they say will help protect the most vulnerable from the worst excesses of the cost-of-living crisis. Speaking today ahead of the Plaid Cymru conference, Adam Price will say that the plan is a response to a Conservative UK Government which has “no mandate, no credibility and no legitimacy”. “If the Welsh Way is to mean anything it must involve made in Wales solutions too. “Our ‘People’s Plan’ is both socially just and immediately deliverable.

//= do_shortcode('[in-content-square]')?>A hosepipe ban in force in Pembrokeshire and parts of Carmarthenshire since August is coming to an end, it has been announced.

Welsh footballing youngsters meet Cymru manager for World Cup send-off

I was happy with his answer because it’s important that everybody has a fair chance at playing for Wales if you’re good enough. Rob Page answered: “It’s not all about whether you’re good enough to play for Wales. If you’re good enough you’re going to be in that changing room, but the biggest thing for us is the environment. “His achievement in getting Wales qualified for our first World Cup in 64 years will go down in the history books. The broadcasters have worked together to ensure free-to-air live coverage of every Wales game in the FIFA World Cup.

Watch: David Crosby’s wonderful reaction when Tom Jones sings

Their appearance together performing the David Crosby penned song ‘Long Time Goes’ not only served up a wonderful collaboration but also served up a joyful moment on music TV. It comes at the beginning of the song, as Tom Jones powers his pipes ready to lend his incredible vocals to the track. And to be fair Tom Jones looks equally thrilled to be in the same orbit as CSNY. It’s a lovely memory of a brilliantly talented musician in David Crosby, who sadly passed away yesterday. The trio formed the influential rock band Crosby, Stills and Nash – a US supergroup that would later feature Neil Young – in 1968.
