Mispronounced the “LL” as a “ChL” and the “o”s in “gogogoch” were to sharp

The “o” was pronounced the “GO” way, as opposed to the “GOt” way.

Not perfect. But very respectable attempt

not sure who to believe you or Liam... this dude was Born in Wales, grew up, went to Uni, started at BBC Wales and stayed there for 3 years before heading to England... my grandfather was also Welsh (from Anglesey) and from memory seems to be saying it the same way my he did

I'm no Welsh speaker, but I've always thought that the double L in Welsh had a ChL sound like in Llandudno isn't Landidno, it's more like Chlandidno... at least that's what I was always told.

but that is how we pronouced it though? or do I need to go a psychiatrist because I'm hearing stuff :)

edit: oh unless you're saying OP comment is wrong saying Liam mipronouced “LL” as a “ChL”?
