English: The current position for us in Clwb Ifor Bach is that we have been closed since mid March. Our only income, really, is through tickets and bar sales, so we've had no income of any substance coming into the company since March. We've been reliant on the furlough scheme and the funds that we've received from Creative Wales and the Arts Council of Wales to keep our business afloat. We did manage to reopen for four or five weekends at the end of August and beginning of September when it was possible to reopen as a pub, but unfortunately, once the 10 o'clock curfew came in, it was financially unsustainable for us to remain open because 70 per cent of our income came in after 10, so we decided to close again. We are currently waiting for a decision on the cultural fund through the Welsh Government. Hopefully, if there's a positive decision there, then we will be in a position to keep the company dormant until the end of spring in the hope that the situation will change at some point around then. In terms of recommencing activities, it depends, to a certain extent, what you mean by restarting. I anticipate that this will be a phased approach. We perhaps may reopen as a pub, first of all, if live music isn't allowed. Once live music is allowed, then it's likely that events will still have to be socially distanced, and the end of the journey, in a way, is a return to the kind of events that we would stage prior to the pandemic. In terms of the financial situation, opening as a pub and socially distanced gigs alone aren't going to be enough to keep the company afloat, as we were before the pandemic. We employ 10 full-time staff here, 30 part-time staff, and many freelance workers as well. So, if we were to continue to employ that many people, we would have to operate in circumstances very close to the situation pre-COVID. Now, how long is this going to take? Well, who knows? And even if that could recommence tomorrow, it's still going to take weeks, perhaps months, perhaps even longer to get back to the point where we would have a programme of events similar to what was in place pre March.
Welsh: O ran y sefyllfa bresennol i ni yng Nghlwb Ifor Bach, dŷn ni wedi bod ar gau ers canol mis Mawrth. Ein unig incwm ni rili ydy incwm tocynnau ac incwm bar, felly does yna ddim incwm o unrhyw sylwedd wedi dod i mewn i'r cwmni ers mis Mawrth. Rydyn ni wedi bod yn ddibynnol ar y furlough scheme, ac arian rydyn ni wedi llwyddo derbyn gan Creative Wales a Chyngor Celfyddydau Cymru hyd yma i fedru cadw'r busnes i fynd. Mi wnaethon ni i lwyddo ailagor am ryw bedwar neu bum penwythnos ar ddiwedd mis Awst, dechrau mis Medi pan oedd hi'n bosib ailagor fel tafarn, ond yn anffodus, unwaith ddaeth y cyrffyw 10 o'r gloch i mewn, roedd yn ariannol anhyfyw i ni gario ymlaen, gyda 70 y cant o'n hincwm yn dod mewn ar ôl 10 o'r gloch, felly fe wnaethon ni benderfynu cau unwaith eto. Dŷn ni'n aros ar hyn o bryd am benderfyniad ar y nawdd diwylliannol trwy Lywodraeth Cymru. Gobeithio, os cawn ni benderfyniad positif yn fanna, byddwn ni mewn sefyllfa wedyn i gadw'r cwmni'n dormant, mewn ffordd, hyd at ddiwedd y gwanwyn yn y gobaith y bydd y sefyllfa'n newid rhyw ben bryd hynny. O ran ailddechrau, mae'n ddibynnol, i ryw raddau, ar beth yw'r diffiniad o ailddechrau. Dwi'n rhagweld y bydd hyn yn dod mewn camau. Mae'n bosib ailagor fel tafarn, yn gyntaf, os na fydd cerddoriaeth fyw yn cael ei chaniatáu. Unwaith bydd cerddoriaeth fyw yn cael ei chaniatáu, yna mae'n debygol y bydd rhaid i ddigwyddiadau dal fod yn socially distanced, a diwedd y siwrnai yna mewn ffordd ydy digwyddiadau yr oeddem ni'n eu gwneud cyn y pandemig. O ran yr ochr ariannol, dyw agor fel tafarn na gigs socially distanced ar eu pennau eu hunain ddim yn mynd i fod yn ddigon i gadw'r cwmni i fynd fel oeddem ni cyn y pandemig. Dŷn ni'n cyflogi 10 o staff llawnamser yma, 30 o staff rhan-amser, a nifer fawr o weithwyr llawrydd hefyd. I fedru cario ymlaen i gyflogi'r nifer yna o bobl, mi fydd angen i ni fedru gweithredu o dan amgylchiadau'n agos iawn i beth oeddem ni cyn i COVID daro. Pa mor hir mae hyn yn mynd i gymryd? Does wybod, a hyd yn oed petai hynna yn gallu dechrau fory, dweud, mae e dal yn mynd i gymryd wythnosau, misoedd, os nad hirach, i ddod yn ôl i'r pwynt lle bydd gennym ni raglen o ddigwyddiadau tebyg i beth oedd gennym ni mewn lle cyn mis Mawrth.
