English: If I could start with sponsorship, again, if there is sponsorship or funding, I would like to see it being part of a strategy. That's the problem: it's very patchy at the moment. There is support available, but it's all over the shop. There is support from the arts council, but, very often, that isn't appropriate for the industry. You do have to fit particular criteria. It has to be a new project, not a project that a company's involved in already. But what the company needs, perhaps, is support for something it's already doing regularly. So the sponsorship policies of the arts council aren't appropriate for a commercial company. It's fine for an artist, where they send an artist out to perform abroad, and form a partnership with someone else, but it doesn't often work for the commercial sector. And there are other sources of funding. There's funding through the Horizons programme through the BBC, for example, but then what happens? They send bands out; yes, they play in festivals, but what happens then? What's happened to last year's bands or those from two years ago? There's no strategy in place to develop this, it would seem. So, there's funding available in a number of different pots, but nobody's looking at the holistic picture. They're all pieces of the jigsaw, but nobody's putting them together. That's the problem with just creating one pot here and another pot there. If you don't have a strategy, a comprehensive strategy, then it doesn't contribute, and you don't get value for money. In terms of rehearsal spaces, this was something that the WMF started, and they started rolling this out, and then England, and the arts council in England, followed. And we need these things, yes, but something that needs to be developed with the rehearsal spaces is something like what's happening with the young promoters network. I think that's a huge success, it's Forté now, but it's only happening in around five boroughs, I think, across south Wales. That's the kind of thing that needs to be rolled out across Wales, and isn't just through the medium of English; that it's in English and Welsh, and that language shouldn't be an element of it in any way; so that one can take advantage of a system where young people arrange their own events and promote those events, and learn technical skills, performance skills, marketing and promotion, and staging skills. And then, that creates an audience to come to these venues. You will need those rehearsal spaces then, if you can get such a plan in place across Wales. Such a plan could feed into the Welsh baccalaureate too, because there's a community challenge as part of the Welsh bac that sixth formers have to undertake, so why don't they arrange things in their own communities, similar to the young promoters network? So, you are improving young people's skills; you are garnering their interest in the Welsh language, but not just the Welsh language; they learn how to create, promote and perform, and they attract an audience because it's their peers that have organised it.
Welsh: Os caf i gychwyn efo'r nawdd, unwaith eto, os oes yna nawdd, buaswn i'n licio gweld bod y nawdd yn rhan o strategaeth. Dyna ydy'r broblem: mae o'n dameidiog iawn ar hyn o bryd. Mae yna nawdd ar hyn o bryd, ond mae o i gyd ym mhob man. Mae yna nawdd gan gyngor y celfyddydau, ond, yn aml iawn, dydy'r nawdd yna ddim yn addas i'r diwydiant, er enghraifft. Mae rhaid ffitio rhyw criteria gwahanol. Rhaid iddo fod yn broject newydd sydd ddim yn broject mae'r cwmni'n ei wneud yn barod. Ond, hwyrach, beth mae'r cwmni angen ydy rhywbeth mae o'n ei wneud yn rheolaidd. Dydy polisïau nawr y cyngor celfyddydau ddim yn addas i ddiwydiant masnachol. Mae'n iawn i'r artist, lle maen nhw'n gyrru artist allan i berfformio dramor, ac yn gwneud y bartneriaeth efo rhywun arall, ond dydy o ddim yn gweithio yn aml iawn i'r sector fasnachol felly. Ac mae yna nawdd arall. Mae yna nawdd yn dod trwy'r cynllun Gorwelion efo'r BBC, ond, eto, beth sy'n dilyn wedyn? Maen nhw'n gyrru bandiau allan i rywle; maen nhw'n chwarae mewn gwyliau, ond beth sy'n digwydd wedyn? Beth sydd wedi digwydd i fandiau y llynedd, dwy flynedd yn ôl? Does yna ddim fel bod yna strategaeth i ddatblygu hyn. Mae yna arian mewn llawer pot, felly, ond does yna neb yn edrych ar y darlun cyflawn. Maen nhw i gyd yn ddarnau bach o jig-sô, ond does yna neb yn edrych ar y darlun. Dyna ydy'r broblem efo jest creu nawdd, a pot o nawdd i rywbeth arall. Os nad oes yna strategaeth cyflawn, yna dydy o ddim yn cyfrannu. Dydy rhywun ddim yn cael gwerth o hynny. Ac o ran stafelloedd ymarfer, roedd hwn yn rhywbeth gwnaeth yr WMF gychwyn, a nhw wnaeth gychwyn ar y system yma o rolio ystafelloedd ymarfer, ac wedyn mi wnaeth Lloegr a chelfyddydau Lloegr ddilyn yr un peth. Felly, oes, mae angen pethau fel hyn, ond rhywbeth sydd angen ei ddatblygu efo'r stafelloedd yma ydy rhywbeth fel sy'n digwydd rŵan efo'r young promoters network. Dwi'n meddwl bod hwnna'n lwyddiant enfawr, sydd yn Forté, dwi'n meddwl, erbyn hyn, ond dyw e ddim ond yn digwydd mewn rhyw bump bwrdeistref, dwi'n meddwl, ar draws de Cymru. Dyna'r math o beth, dwi'n credu, sydd eisiau ei rolio allan ar draws Cymru, a bod o ddim jest yn yr iaith Saesneg; bod o'n Gymraeg a Saesneg, a bod iaith ddim yn mynd yn elfen o'r peth, felly; bod rhywun yn medru manteisio ar system lle mae pobl ifanc yn trefnu digwyddiadau eu hunain, ac yn hyrwyddo digwyddiadau, ac yn dysgu sgiliau technegol a pherfformio, dysgu sgiliau hyrwyddo a marchnata, a llwyfannu. Ac, wedyn, mae hynny'n creu cynulleidfa i ddod i'r llefydd yma. Bydd angen yr ystafelloedd ymarfer wedyn ar gyfer hyn, a bydd o'n rhan o'r peth, os dŷch chi'n medru cael cynllun fel hyn ar draws Cymru. A byddai cynllun felly hefyd yn medru bwydo mewn i'r fagloriaeth Gymreig, achos mae her y gymuned yn y fagloriaeth Gymreig yn rhywbeth mae pobl ifanc chweched dosbarth yn gorfod gwneud, ac felly, pam nad ydyn nhw yn trefnu pethau yn eu cymunedau sydd yn debyg i'r young promoters network? Felly, dŷch chi'n gwella sgiliau pobl ifanc, denu'u diddordeb nhw hefyd yn yr iaith Gymraeg, ond ddim jest yr iaith Gymraeg; maen nhw'n dysgu sut i hyrwyddo a chreu a pherfformio, sy'n denu cynulleidfa achos eu cyfoedion nhw sydd wedi'i drefnu fo.
