English: Okay, fine. Well, I'm not here to talk about Wales, I'm here to talk about Cardiff specifically, but, in my opinion, the sector is in a relatively strong position in Cardiff. Clearly, we've done a great deal of work in this area as a council. We've commissioned a music strategy, and, as part of that work, we've done a comparison of how Cardiff is performing against other cities - a lot of interesting statistics have appeared in that. So, for example, there's a similar number of venues in Cardiff as compared to Bristol and Liverpool, a similar number, or more, working in the industry, in fact, in Cardiff per thousand of population, as compared to Bristol and Liverpool, but then, when you look at the number of gigs and concerts happening in Cardiff, there are far less. So, we are sustaining a wider population working in the industry, but have fewer concerts and gigs. So, that raises questions about why that is. And I think one of the things that isn't considered very often is the situation and health of the audience in terms of how many people choose to go to gigs, and, if they're not going, why not? And that's part of what we want to improve as part of taking the strategy forward. So, we're looking at the question in the round: what the factors are with regard to transport, for example, that impact whether people go to gigs or not. So, clearly, in Cardiff, we have a situation where there are no trains running late at night, there are no buses running late at night, or it's a far more limited provision. What impact does that then have on the health of the sector? So, to go back to the question, I think that we are in a relatively strong position, but you can't escape from the fact that something like a third of venues have closed over the past period across the United Kingdom. So, why has that happened? I think there are factors that do cause challenges in this sector, a number of them that aren't within the control of local government to impact on. What we're trying to do in Cardiff is, through this strategy, through establishing a music board with the council and experts within the sector, what we can do to strengthen the sector.
Welsh: Ocê, ffein. Wel, yn benodol, dwi ddim yma i siarad ar ran Cymru, dwi yma i siarad ar ran Caerdydd, ond, yn fy marn i, mae'r sector mewn lle cymharol gryf yng Nghaerdydd. Yn amlwg, dŷn ni wedi gwneud tipyn o waith yn y maes yma fel cyngor ac wedi comisiynu strategaeth gerddoriaeth. Ac, fel rhan o'r gwaith hwnnw, gwnaethpwyd cymhariaeth o sut mae Caerdydd yn perfformio o'i gymharu â dinasoedd eraill - lot o ystadegau diddorol yn ymddangos drwy hynny. Felly, er enghraifft, mae yna nifer tebyg o ran venues yng Nghaerdydd o'i gymharu gyda Bristol neu Lerpwl, niferoedd tebyg - mwy, in fact - yn gweithio yn y diwydiant yng Nghaerdydd o ran per thousand population ag yn Bristol a Lerpwl, ond yna, pan ydych chi'n edrych ar nifer y gigiau a chyngherddau'n digwydd yng Nghaerdydd, lot yn llai. Felly, dŷn ni'n cynnal poblogaeth ehangach yn gweithio yn y diwydiant ond gyda llai o gyngherddau a gigiau. Felly, mae hynny'n codi cwestiynau: pam mae hynny? A dwi'n credu un o'r pethau sydd ddim yn cael ei ystyried yn aml iawn ydy sefyllfa ac iechyd y gynulleidfa: faint o bobl sydd yn dewis mynd i gigiau, ac, os dŷn nhw ddim yn mynd, pam nad ydyn nhw yn mynd. Dyna ran o'r hyn dŷn ni'n gobeithio edrych ar wella fel rhan o gymryd y strategaeth yma ymlaen. Felly, edrych ar y cwestiwn in the round: beth ydy'r ffactorau teithio, er enghraifft, sydd yn effeithio a ydy pobl yn mynd i fynd i gigiau? Felly, yn amlwg, yng Nghaerdydd, mae gyda ni sefyllfa ble does yna ddim trenau'n rhedeg yn hwyr a does yna ddim bysus yn rhedeg yn hwyr - neu maen nhw'n lot mwy limited. Beth ydy'r effaith mae hynny'n ei chael ar iechyd y sector? Felly, i ddod nôl at y cwestiwn, dwi'n credu ein bod ni mewn sefyllfa weddol, ond allwch chi ddim dianc o'r ffaith bod rhywbeth fel traean o venues wedi eu cau yn ystod y cyfnod diwethaf ledled y Deyrnas Gyfunol. Felly, pam mae hynny? Yn amlwg, mae yna ffactorau sy'n creu sialensiau yn y maes yma - nifer ohonyn nhw, mae'n rhaid i fi ddweud, sydd ddim o fewn rheolaeth llywodraeth leol i'w heffeithio. Beth dŷn ni'n ceisio ei wneud yng Nghaerdydd ydy, drwy'r strategaeth, drwy sefydlu bwrdd cerddoriaeth gyda'r cyngor ac arbenigwyr ar draws y sector, beth gallwn ni ei wneud i gryfhau iechyd y sector.
