Dafydd and his talented band took to the stage on Sunday afternoon with several thousand people expecting him to sing some of his favourite songs. And they were not disappointed.

He said: "The line has to be drawn somewhere, and I'm looking forward to enjoying several more 'Steddfods' from the back seats!"

But Dafydd emphasised that he will not stop singing completely.

"I know it's a bit of a joke that I want to stop singing. I've been trying to retire for years. But I want to stop singing with the band.
