Two young farmers from the Tanat Valley have reached the final of a national contest.
Richard Lewis, from Llanfyllin, and Llion Vaughan, from Llanrhaeadr, have become a YouTube hit with their entry, Plough On, in the Farmers’ Guardian Tractor Factor contest that carries with it a chance to perform at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
Their song, a parody of Rihanna’s hit S & M, also received a boost this week when it was played on Greg James’s Radio One show. The young entertainers took the opportunity of giving the DJ a copy of their CD when they met him at last week’s Montgomeryshire County YFC rally.
Mr Lewis said: “He said he would play our CD on his show on Monday. It was great because after it was on the radio we got over 4,000 extra hits on YouTube.”
Around 25,000 people have listened to their entry so far but to be in with a chance to win the top prize, Richard, 18, and Llion, 17, who call themselves DJ Wooly and Will I Lamb, must win the highest number of votes on the Farmers’ Guardian website.
The teenagers, who recorded their entry with the help of friend Gus Harris, 17, at Green Hall Farm in Llanfyllin, are appealing for as many Shropshire and Mid Wales people as possible to vote for them.
Voting at www.farmersguardian.com/tractorfactor is open until Friday.
