English: Well, that's one of the things that we want to say today: that there are more bilingual gigs so that bands such as Candelas - . We've been working for 10 years now, and you could count on one or two hands how many times we've taken part in a gig with non-Welsh-speaking bands or bands from outside Wales. Perhaps we're to blame a little bit for that, that we've been lazy in that regard, but, still. The gigs that are put on tend to be just bands from Wales and Welsh-medium bands. If we want to sell what we have and to display the talent that we have, I think we need to have those mixed gigs in terms of Welsh-speaking and non-Welsh-speaking bands.
Welsh: Dyna un peth mawr, dwi'n meddwl, rydym ni am ei godi heddiw y byddwn ni'n licio ei weld yn digwydd ydy yn union hynny: bod yna fwy o gigs dwyieithog mewn ffordd, a bod bandiau fel Candelas, er enghraifft - . Rydyn ni wedi bod yn gigio ers dros 10 mlynedd ac maen siŵr buaswn i'n gallu cyfrif bron ar un neu ddwy law faint o weithiau rydyn ni wedi gwneud gig efo bandiau di-Gymraeg neu y tu allan i Gymru. Dwi'n gweld bod yna, efallai, ychydig bach o fai arnon ni a'n bod ni'n ddiog, ond, dal. Mae'r cynigion gigs yn tueddu i fod jest bandiau o Gymru, Cymry Cymraeg, sydd yn iawn weithiau, ond os ydym ni eisiau gwerthu beth sydd gennym ni a dangos y talent a'r bandiau sydd gennym ni, dwi'n meddwl mai'r ffordd i arwain hynna ydy cymysgu gigs o ran bandiau Cymraeg a di-Gymraeg.
English: You don't all have to respond to every question. Are there any other comments from anyone else?
Welsh: Ocê. Does dim rhaid i chi ateb bob cwestiwn. Oes yna sylw arall gan unrhyw un arall?
English: I do think that Welsh music is sometimes used as a tool to promote the Welsh language, which is fantastic, but it's forgotten as an industry. So, people say, 'Well, it would be good to have a Welsh band at this event and do everything in Welsh', which is great, but as performers, it's very difficult to make a career out of that because the audience is quite limited. It's the same people you see at your gigs. I'm not complaining about that, but Y Cledrau - we could count on one hand how many bilingual gigs we've been involved with. I remember being involved with FOCUS Wales with new bands, and that was so fresh and healthy. We need more of that, along with the Welsh gigs too.
Welsh: Dwi'n meddwl weithiau bod cerddoriaeth Gymraeg yn cael ei defnyddio fel arf i hybu'r Gymraeg, sydd yn ffantastig, ond ei fod yn cael ei anghofio fel diwydiant ynddo fo'i hun. Felly, 'O, buasai'n neis cael band Cymraeg yn y digwyddiad yma i wneud bob dim yn Gymraeg', sy'n grêt, ond wedyn fel perfformwyr, mae'n anodd iawn gwneud gyrfa allan o hynny achos mae'r gynulleidfa wedyn yn eithaf cul. Yr un bobl ti'n gweld yn dy gigs di. Dwi ddim yn cwyno am hynny, ond weithiau mae - . Mae Y Cledrau wedi gwneud - yn union, gallwn gyfrif ar un llaw faint o gigs dwyieithog. Dwi'n cofio mynd i FOCUS Wales a chael bandiau newydd, cynulleidfa newydd, ac roedd hynny mor ffres ac iach. Mae eisiau mwy ohono fo, ynghyd â'r ochr uniaith Gymraeg.
English: Trying to do that in an organic manner we've found is a barrier: how we find those gigs to assimilate Welsh and non-Welsh-speaking bands. We know that bands that tour abroad, very often there is sponsorship behind them. The tours that Calan and HMS Morris have done, there is sponsorship and they have to prepare bids for that sponsorship. We put so much voluntary time into being in bands and arranging gigs that it's very difficult to find extra time to do that paperwork for those bids.
Welsh: Mae trio gwneud hynny'n organig, hynny dŷn ni wedi ffeindio'n rhwystr: sut mae dod o hyd i'r gigs er mwyn gallu cymathu bandiau Cymraeg a di-Gymraeg. Y bandiau dŷn ni'n gwybod amdanyn nhw sydd wedi teithio dramor, yn aml iawn, mae yna nawdd y tu ôl iddyn nhw. Os dŷn ni'n edrych ar y teithiau mae Calan wedi'u gwneud dramor, neu HMS Morris, mae yna nawdd ac mae yna rywun wedi gorfod rhoi lot fawr o amser i ysgrifennu'r nawdd yna. Rydyn ni'n rhoi gymaint o'n hamser gwirfoddol i mewn i fod yn y bandiau, i redeg y labeli ac i drefnu gigs fel y mae, mae'n anodd iawn wedyn i ffeindio amser i wneud gwaith papur fel yna hefyd.
English: Okay, and just a final question from me before we move on. What do you think the situation is in terms of the kinds of venues that exist at the moment? Are there enough smaller venues as compared to medium-sized venues as compared to those major venues that exist across Wales? How do you think that helps in providing a platform to bands, or not, if those venues don't exist as they perhaps did back in the day, as they say?
Welsh: Ocê, a jest cwestiwn olaf gen i cyn symud ymlaen yw: beth dŷch chi'n credu yw'r sefyllfa o ran y mathau gwahanol o leoliadau sy'n bodoli ar hyn o bryd? Oes yna ddigon o rai bach o gymharu efo rhai canolig eu maint i rai mawr sydd yn bodoli ar draws Cymru? Sut ydych chi'n credu bod hynny'n help i roi platfform i fandiau, neu ddim, os nad yw'r lleoliadau hynny'n bodoli fel ag oedden nhw nôl yn y dydd, fel maen nhw'n dweud?
English: The structure is vital. Neal spoke about the way that a band can form. They need somewhere to play, they need somewhere to rehearse, and they need opportunities when they're young to perform. So, I think in terms of venues, what we've done is we've taken over a centre that's 150 years of age. All over Wales, there are village halls and it's the same in Bethesda. We've had funding to develop that venue to fit into a more contemporary model. It's an arts centre that is much more of a community centre as well. I think that music can just be part of a wider structure. It works for us; I can't speak for other venues. I think that there are many such buildings across Wales that could be developed in that same way. There was nothing before we opened six years. I used to organise events in the pub with a small number of people, and now I'm organising a festival with 1,500 to 2,000 people. We have music events all the time. Where has that come from? We're very close to a large venue, Pontio, and Galeri isn't too far away, but what's incredible is that culture can come from people in a local area. I don't think we'd done any research into whether the demand was there, but you create demand; you just light the spark. So, I think venues can be a source of revival for towns, villages and cities in Wales.
Welsh: Mae'r strwythur yn hanfodol. Roedd Neal yn sôn am sut mae band yn gallu ffurfio. Maen nhw angen rhywle i chwarae, maen nhw angen lle i ymarfer, maen nhw angen cyfleon pan maen nhw'n ifanc. Dwi'n meddwl o ran canolfannau, beth dŷn ni wedi'i wneud ydy dŷn ni wedi cymryd canolfan 150 oed - dros Gymru, mae yna neuaddau pentref, on'd oes, a'r un fath sydd yna ym Methesda. Wedyn, dŷn ni wedi cael pres i ddatblygu'r adeilad i ffitio i mewn i fodel fwy cyfoes. Mae'n ganolfan gelfyddydol sy'n lot mwy o ganolfan gymunedol. Dwi'n meddwl bod cerddoriaeth yn gallu jest ffitio i mewn i ran o strwythur mwy. Mae'n gweithio i ni; allaf i ddim siarad am lefydd eraill, ond dwi'n meddwl bod yna lot o adeiladau dros Gymru sydd yn gallu cael eu datblygu. Doedd yna ddim byd cyn i ni agor chwe mlynedd yn ôl. Roeddwn i'n trefnu stwff yn y dafarn gyda nifer fach o bobl, a rŵan, dŷn ni'n trefnu gŵyl efo 1,500 i 2,000 o bobl. Mae gennym ni ddigwyddiadau cerddorol trwy'r amser. O le mae hynny wedi dod? Ac hefyd, dŷn ni'n agos i ganolfan fawr, fel Pontio, dydy Galeri ddim yn bell. Ond beth sy'n anhygoel ydy bod diwylliant yn gallu jest dod gan bobl. Dwi ddim yn meddwl bod yna neb wedi gwneud ymchwil dwys i weld a ydy'r galw yna, ond dŷch chi'n creu'r galw; dŷch chi jest yn cychwyn o. Felly, dwi'n meddwl bod canolfannau yn gallu adfywio pentrefi, trefi a dinasoedd yng Nghymru.
English: And what are your thoughts?
Welsh: Grêt. A beth ydych chi'n meddwl?
English: Just to explain our situation here in Bala, some 10 years ago, we were a desert in terms of the gigs that were being staged here, so we, as young people at the time, decided to organise gigs in Neuadd Buddug in Bala. And, over the years, we managed to attract audiences of around 100 people regularly coming to gigs. Once again, we were running all of these gigs on a voluntary basis and doing so without hesitation. Recently, Gwynedd Council has closed Neuadd Buddug and has provided a new centre for us, but this hall is part of the secondary school. So, we now have to start afresh in trying to attract an audience to a new venue, and I don't think that that challenge is recognised, in terms of how changing the audience habit coming to a new venue is a challenge. It's a challenge that we're willing to face, but it is challenging, and how can we attract young people to come to their school hall to watch a band? I'm not really sure how it's going to work. This has only just become an issue, so I'm not sure what the upshot of it will be. But we also live in a unique area in that people do organise gigs in village halls, and we've seen huge successes on that level - again, over 100 people coming to each of those gigs. But, again, I have to emphasise that this is all happening on a voluntary basis.
Welsh: Jest i egluro ein sefyllfa ni fan hyn yn y Bala, rhyw 10 mlynedd yn ôl, roeddem ni mewn ychydig bach o dir diffaith yn fan hyn o ran gigs oedd yn cael eu cynnal, felly mi wnaethom ni, fel pobl ifanc ar y pryd, fynd ati i drefnu gigs yn Neuadd Buddug yn y Bala. A thros y blynyddoedd, gwnaethon ni fedru denu cynulleidfaoedd cyson o tua 100 o bobl yn dod i bob gig. Unwaith eto, yn wirfoddol roedden ni'n rhedeg bob un o'r gigs yma, ac yn gwneud hynny heb feddwl ddwywaith. Yn ddiweddar, mae Cyngor Gwynedd wedi cau Neuadd Buddug ac wedi rhoi canolfan newydd i ni, ond mae'r neuadd yma yn rhan o'r ysgol uwchradd. Felly, rydym ni rŵan yn gorfod dechrau eto yn trio denu cynulleidfaoedd i leoliad newydd, a dwi ddim yn meddwl bod yr her yna yn cael ei chydnabod - sut mae newid patrwm cynulleidfa i ddod i le newydd. Mae o'n dipyn o her. Her rydym ni'n fodlon ymgymryd â hi, ond mae o'n heriol, a sut ydym ni'n mynd i ddenu pobl ifanc i ddod i'w neuadd ysgol i wylio bandiau? Unwaith eto, dwi ddim yn siŵr. Dyw hyn ddim ond newydd ddechrau rŵan, felly dwi ddim yn siŵr iawn beth fydd y canlyniad. Ond rydym ni hefyd yn byw mewn ardal unigryw o ran bod pobl yn trefnu gigs mewn neuaddau pentref, a rydym ni wedi gweld llwyddiant mawr yn y rheini - unwaith eto, dros 100 o bobl, mae'n siŵr, yn dod i bob un. Ond, eto, mae'n rhaid pwysleisio, yn wirfoddol mae hyn i gyd yn digwydd.
English: Thank you. That's very interesting.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae hwnna'n ddiddorol iawn.
English: I organised my first gig in Neuadd Buddug in Bala, as it happens, and it's a shame that the venue has closed.
Welsh: Gwnes i drefnu fy ngig cyntaf yn Neuadd Ogwen, yn Neuadd Buddug, sori, yn y Bala, digwydd bod, ac mae'n bechod mawr bod y lle wedi cau.
English: We'll move on, therefore, because time is short. So, we'll move to questions on support and advice from John Griffiths. Thank you.
Welsh: Ocê. Gwnawn ni symud ymlaen felly, achos mae amser yn brin wrth gwrs, i gwestiynau am gymorth a chyngor gan John Griffiths. Diolch.
English: Personally, I didn't think that the Welsh Music Foundation worked particularly well for me as a promoter or as a musician. It didn't work for me. I didn't feel that I benefited from it. That isn't to say that it didn't benefit others, but I personally didn't feel any benefit. And I was listening to the earlier conversation; clearly, we need a structure. But what I find difficult is - . I've had advice from people from outside Wales, such as the Music Venue Trust, for example, because that support simply isn't available in Wales. And they've been very good to me to be fair; they do offer support. But I do think we need something. I've been organising events for 30 years or more, and I wouldn't know where to seek funding. There are a lot of things I do know, of course, but to do my work, it's a great struggle to actually find information. People tell me, 'Well, don't you know that?' Well, you can't know everything, can you, so you do need that advice, and we do need better information sharing.
Welsh: Yn bersonol, doeddwn i ddim yn meddwl bod y Welsh Music Foundation yn gweithio yn dda i fi fel hyrwyddwr neu gerddor. Doedd o ddim yn gweithio i fi. Wnes i ddim teimlo bendith allan ohono fo. Dyw hynna ddim i ddweud bod o ddim wedi dod â bendith i bobl eraill, ond doeddwn i ddim yn teimlo - . Rôn i'n gwrando ar y sgwrs arall; mae'n amlwg bod angen strwythur. Beth dwi yn ffeindio'n anodd - . Dwi wedi cael cyngor gan bobl y tu allan i Gymru fel y Music Venue Trust, oherwydd bod y gefnogaeth yna ddim ar gael yng Nghymru. Ac maen nhw wedi bod yn dda iawn, chwarae teg; maen nhw'n cynnig cefnogaeth. Ond, ie, dwi'n meddwl bod angen rhywbeth. Dwi wedi bod yn trefnu digwyddiadau ers 30 mlynedd neu fwy, a dwi ddim yn gwybod lle i fynd ar ôl cyllid. Mae yna gymaint o bethau dwi yn gwybod, ond i wneud fy ngwaith, mae o'n strygl mawr i ffeindio gwybodaeth ynglŷn â - . Mae yna bobl yn dweud wrthyf i, 'Ti ddim yn gwybod hynna?' Wel, dydych chi ddim yn gallu gwybod bob dim, felly mae eisiau cyngor a rhannu gwybodaeth dwi'n meddwl.
English: One resource that's very useful to small communities is the Night Out grant. I don't know how many times we - [ Inaudible.] - and you, people in a band, have had to fill in the paperwork for Night Out, because they fund the gig. It's an excellent scheme, because it demonstrates that an evening isn't for profit; it's for pure entertainment. So, the grant is given to cover the costs of bands, and ensure that bands receive a fair wage for what they do, and then they get the money back at the end to hold the next event. So, it is something that should be used more often, in more communities.
Welsh: Un peth sy'n ofnadwy o ddefnyddiol i gymunedau bach ydy'r grant Noson Allan. Dwi ddim yn gwybod sawl gwaith rydym ni fel - [ Anghlywadwy.] - a chi mae'n siŵr, pobl mewn band, wedi gorfod llenwi ffurflenni Noson Allan, gan mai nhw sy'n ariannu'r gig. Mae'n gynllun ffantastig, achos mae'n dangos mai nid er mwyn creu elw mae'r noson yn cael ei chynnal, ond er mwyn adloniant pur. Felly, mae'r grant yn cael ei roi er mwyn cyfro costiau'r bandiau, a gwneud yn siŵr bod bandiau'n cael tâl teg hefyd, ac maen nhw'n cael yr arian yn ôl yn y diwedd er mwyn cynnal y noson nesaf. Felly, mae o'n sicr yn rhywbeth sydd angen cael ei ddefnyddio yn amlach mewn mwy o gymunedau a lleoliadau.
English: It's wonderful to see that PYST have appointed an official who is there specifically to arrange gigs and tours. Again, it's in the early stages, but I do see huge benefits in this. As one who runs a label, one of our bands, Yr Eira, are arranging a tour, and thanks to PYST, they are there to do the work that we couldn't provide the time to do, and that is hugely beneficial to them. Clwb Ifor Bach are also excellent at taking bands under their wing and organising tours for them. We recently toured as Blodau Papur around Wales at a number of venues, but it's thanks to organisations such as Clwb Ifor Bach and PYST. As a band, we simply don't have the time.
Welsh: Mae'n andros o braf gweld bod PYST wedi penodi swyddog sydd yno'n uniongyrchol i drefnu gigs a threfnu teithiau. Eto, mae hyn yn ddyddiau cynnar, ond dwi yn gweld budd mawr yn hyn. Fel rhywun sy'n rhedeg label, mae un o'n bandiau ni rŵan, Yr Eira, wrthi'n trefnu taith, a diolch i PYST maen nhw'n gallu bod yno i wneud y gwaith na fedrwn ni rhoi'r amser i fewn i'w wneud, ac mae hyn yn andros o fuddiol. Mae Clwb Ifor Bach hefyd yn arbennig o dda am gymryd bandiau dan eu haden a threfnu teithiau ar eu cyfer nhw. Buon ni yn ddiweddar fel band o'r enw Blodau Papur o gwmpas Cymru mewn gwahanol leoliadau, ond, eto, diolch i sefydliadau fel Clwb Ifor Bach a PYST mae hyn. Fel band, does gennym ni ddim mo'r amser.
English: The only thing I'd say about Night Out is that it has been an excellent system for people who do voluntary work on the grass-roots level. But in terms of developing an industry, and making it a professional industry, it's a help for people as they start out, but it doesn't help them to go to the next level or to create culture, in my view. But not to contradict anything you've said, but do you know what I mean? For someone like me, it's not beneficial.
Welsh: Yr unig beth y gwnaf i ei ddweud am Noson Allan, mae wedi bod yn system wych i bobl sy'n gwneud gwaith gwirfoddol, grass roots. Ond o ran datblygu diwydiant, a gwneud y diwydiant yn broffesiynol, mae o'n gymorth i bobl gychwyn i ffwrdd, ond dydy o ddim yn help i fynd i'r cam nesaf neu i greu diwylliant, yn ein barn ni. Ond nid i fynd yn erbyn beth ti'n ei ddweud na dim byd, ond ti'n gwybod beth dwi'n ei feddwl? I rywun fel fi, dydy o ddim o fudd.
English: Well, for me within the band, it's excellent, to stage things within communities, but in terms of my work with the Urdd, trying to arrange gigs in order to raise funds for an eisteddfod, for example, well, it's not of any use, because you can't make a profit from it. So it's great as a starting point, but it's not sustainable.
Welsh: Ie, i fi, o fewn y band, mae'n wych ac i gynnal nosweithiau mewn cymunedau, ond lle rydw i efo fy ngwaith o fewn yr Urdd yn trio trefnu gigs er mwyn codi arian ar gyfer eisteddfod, ac ati, wel, dydy o ddim o ddefnydd achos bod ti ddim yn cael elw allan ohono fo. Felly, mae o'n grêt ar y cychwyn, ond dydy o ddim yn gynaliadwy o gwbl.
English: It's difficult for me to think globally about this, in terms of the picture across Wales. But in terms of what I do, any support is of huge benefit; a small amount of support can have that much greater impact. I was there at the meeting yesterday with Creative Wales. And they're only offering £5,000; £5,000 is £5,000, but that's huge for us in terms of developing the work that we do. Because, running a venue, it's more or less impossible to make a profit. So, something like that - . And if you make a profit, you can spend it on improving the building, or buying equipment, but we can't do that at the moment. So something like that could be a huge help. Personally, I think that the potential of that £5,000 - or less, or whatever amount we bid for - could have a huge impact on the venue that I work at.
Welsh: Mae'n anodd i fi feddwl yn global am y peth - am Gymru gyfan. Beth dwi'n ei wneud, mae unrhyw gefnogaeth yn anferth, a dweud y gwir; mae cefnogaeth fach yn gallu bod yn help anferth. Roeddwn i yn y cyfarfod ddoe efo Creative Wales. A maen nhw dim ond yn cynnig £5,000; mae £5,000 yn £5,000, ond mae hwnna'n anferth o beth i ni, i ddatblygu'r gwaith rydym ni'n ei wneud. Achos mae rhedeg venue, mae hi fwy neu lai yn amhosib gwneud elw. Felly, mae rhywbeth fel yna - . Ac os ydych chi'n gwneud elw, rydych chi'n gallu ei wario fo ar wella'r adeilad, prynu offer, ond dydyn ni ddim yn gallu gwneud hynna. Felly mae rhywbeth fel yna yn gallu bod yn help anferth. Yn bersonol, dwi'n meddwl bod potensial y £5,000 yna - neu lai, beth bynnag rydym ni'n gwneud cais amdano - yn gallu cael impact anferthol ar y ganolfan dwi'n gweithio ynddi.
English: Do you have a view on this new scheme put forward by the Government?
Welsh: Oes barn gyda chi ynglŷn â'r cynllun newydd y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi ei gyflwyno?
English: Once again, just to tell you about our situation in Bala, I mentioned that Neuadd Buddug had been closed down, and that the council had given us a new centre, as part of the secondary school. I'm employed as the only member of staff working in that centre - and that's only for two days a week - and that's to do everything. And thinking about having a pot of money, be it £5,000 or £10,000 annually, that would certainly ensure things as simple as providing a proper sound system to stage an attractive gig, a gig that would be worth coming to listen to, and that would then attract an audience and encourage an audience to return. So I think smaller pots, such as that, can be hugely beneficial in locations and venues such as ours.
Welsh: Unwaith eto, jest i fanylu ar ein sefyllfa ni yn y Bala, roeddwn i'n sôn bod Neuadd Buddug wedi cau, a bod y cyngor wedi rhoi canolfan fwy neu lai newydd i ni, fel rhan o'r ysgol uwchradd. Dwi'n cael fy nghyflogi fel yr unig staff sy'n gweithio yn y ganolfan newydd - dim ond deuddydd yr wythnos - i wneud popeth. Ac mae meddwl am gael pot o bres fel £5,000 i £10,000 yn flynyddol, mi fyddai hynna yn sicrhau pethau mor syml â'n bod ni'n gallu darparu system sain ddigonol i greu gig deniadol, gig sydd yn werth dod i wrando arno fo, fyddai wedyn yn denu cynulleidfaoedd i ddod yn eu holau. Mi fyddai potiau cymharol fychan fel yna yn gallu mynd yn bell iawn, iawn mewn lleoliadau fel sydd gennym ni.
English: Could I come in there? If there were just a small pot of funding, say £5,000, given to some venues, say, in north Wales and some in south Wales, to turn those places into gig venues, that would take a lot of pressure off promoters and people who are organising a gig for the first time, for example. Because people sometimes ask us to take part in a gig and then we ask, 'Do you have a PA system?', but they have no idea what we're talking about. So then there's pressure on the bands to find a PA system and they're expensive. So, if the PA was already there in the building, it would make it cheaper to arrange a gig every time because it's expensive to hire one. So, it would cause a lot less stress, gigs would happen more frequently, then that cycle could be started.
Welsh: Gaf i ddod i mewn yn fanna? Pe bai yna jest pot bach iawn o bres, dyweda £5,000, yn cael ei roi mewn ambell i safle ar draws gogledd Cymru a de Cymru, er mwyn gwneud fanna fel venue gigs, byddai o'n tynnu lot fawr o bwysau oddi ar drefnwyr a phobl sydd yn trefnu gig am y tro cyntaf, er enghraifft. Achos mae pobl weithiau yn gofyn i ni wneud gig, wedyn rydym ni'n gofyn, 'Oes gennych chi system PA?', wel does ganddyn nhw ddim syniad am beth rydym ni'n sôn. Felly mae o'n bwysau ar y band wedyn i ffeindio PA ac mae o'n ddrud. Pe bai'r PA yna mewn adeilad yn barod, mi fyddai o'n rhatach bob tro y byddai gig yn cael ei drefnu achos mae'n ddrud i hurio un allan. Felly, mi fyddai'n lot llai o stress, byddai gigs yn digwydd yn amlach, byddai'r cylch yn cael ei gychwyn wedyn.
English: To be honest, they feel out of our reach. I've made bids to the arts council for a theatre project in the past, and they're very complex and difficult processes and they wouldn't be accessible at all in my view. And often, with funding for music and the arts, you have to do something in addition to what you're already doing. But what about the time that the bands give to composition, and the time they give to rehearsal, and the venues that they have to pay for in terms of rehearsal space? What about those fundamentals that we need to create a firm foundation just for bands to do something as simple as record an album? They don't exist at the moment, and that's a huge shame.
Welsh: I fod yn onest, maen nhw'n teimlo'n bell iawn o'n cyrraedd ni. Dwi wedi gwneud cais nawdd cyngor y celfyddydau o'r blaen ar gyfer prosiect theatr, ac maen nhw'n geisiadau cymhleth ac anodd, a dydyn nhw ddim yn hygyrch o gwbl yn fy marn i. Ac yn aml, efo nawdd cerddoriaeth a'r celfyddydau, mae'n rhaid i chi wneud rhywbeth yn ychwanegol i'r hyn rydych chi'n ei wneud yn barod. Ond beth am yr amser y mae'r bandiau'n ei roi i gyfansoddi, a'r amser maen nhw'n ei roi i mewn i ymarfer, a'r lleoliadau y maen nhw'n gorfod talu amdanyn nhw er mwyn cael gofod ymarfer? Beth am y pethau sylfaenol rydym ni eu hangen i greu sylfaen hollol gref i fandiau jest allu gwneud rhywbeth mor syml â mynd i recordio albwm? Dyw hynna ddim yn bodoli ar hyn o bryd, ac mae hynna'n bechod mawr.
