Mae'r lleoliadau hyn yn ganolfannau lleol pwysig ar gyfer talentau cerddorol gan gynnig llwybr gwych i feithrin a datblygu creadigrwydd cerddorion a pherfformwyr.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i ddatblygu talentau'r diwydiant cerdd ac mae'n poeni bod cymaint o leoliadau'n dirywio ac yn cau.


Mae cau canolfan yn fater cymhleth a gall lleoliad wynebu cymysgedd o broblemau gydag asiantaethau gwahanol fel awdurdodau lleol, asiantaethau gorfodi'r gyfraith a sefydliadau cefnogi busnesau yn ogystal â'r llywodraeth, yn gyfrifol amdano.


Bydd yr ymarfer mapio yn: 


* Penderfynu ar ddiffiniad o 'leoliad cerdd lleol' sy'n seiliedig ar ddiffiniad y Music Venue Trust ond sydd wedi'i addasu i sefyllfa Cymru;
* Paratoi map o leoliadau cerdd lleol ledled Cymru, gan gofnodi gwybodaeth am bob lleoliad; a
* Nodi clystyrau o leoliadau ac unrhyw nodweddion cyffredin.


Dywedodd yr Arglwydd Elis\-Thomas, Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth:



> “Rydym am ei gwneud yn haws i bobl ddawnus ddatblygu gyrfaoedd hirdymor yn y diwydiant cerdd yng Nghymru. Mae rhan o hynny'n golygu helpu lleoliadau cerdd lleol i'w cadw ar agor.
> 
> 
> "Mae prinder lleoliadau ar gyfer cynnal cerddoriaeth fyw yn bygwth y llwybr magu talent yng Nghymru. Rydyn ni'n gwybod am lawer o'r problemau sy'n eu hwynebu ar draws y wlad a byddwn yn dal i chwilio am ffyrdd i gydweithio â'r sector i'w datrys.
> 
> 
> "Rhaid i unrhyw benderfyniad ynghylch sut i gefnogi'r rhan hon o'r diwydiannau creadigol fod yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth gywir a chyfoes ac i'r perwyl hwnnw, rydyn ni wedi comisiynu tîm profiadol iawn o Landsker i greu map o leoliadau cerdd lleol ledled Cymru.







Translation:


 
Grassroots venues are important hubs for local music talent and offer a fantastic avenue for musicians and performers to cultivate and nurture their creativity.


The Welsh Government is committed to developing the music industry talent pipeline and is concerned at the decline and closure of many such places.


Issues surrounding closure are often complex, being a mixture of problems that can be unique to each venue’s situation, with responsibilities lying with different agencies such as local authorities, law enforcement and business support organisations \- as well as government.


The mapping exercise will:


* Establish a definition of a ‘grassroots music venue’ which is based on that of the Music Venue Trust but which is tailored to the situation in Wales;
* Provide a geographical map of grassroots music venues across the whole of Wales, recording a series of information for each venue; and
* Identify clusters of venues and any common characteristics.


Lord Elis\-Thomas, Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism said:



> “We want to make it easier for talented people to develop long\-term careers in the music industry in Wales. Part of this involves supporting grassroots music venues to help them remain viable.
> 
> 
> “A potential dearth of live music venues threatens Wales’ talent pipeline. We are aware of a lot of the challenges they face across the country and will continue to look at ways to work collaboratively with the sector to address them.
> 
> 
> “Any decisions we make around support for this branch of the creative industries must be based on accurate, up to date evidence and to that end we have commissioned the highly experienced team from Landsker to create a map of grassroots music venues across Wales.
