Gai Toms – CARU OK (Hysbyseb)

Noson yng nghwmni Gai Toms a’r atoms.

Set 1 – Caneuon Coll y clo. Gonestrwydd, galar, goroesi.
Set 2 – Gai Toms a’r atoms – BAIAIA!
(+ ambell glasur)

10/11/23 Neuadd Dwyfor, Pwllheli

24 /11/23 Galeri, Caernarfon


Ers y clo mawr, mae Gai Toms wedi bod yn gynhyrchiol iawn, ac wedi cyfansoddi digon o ddeunydd ar gyfer sawl albwm. Eleni, rhyddhawyd ‘Baiaia!’ (Gorffennaf 28 / Recordiau Sain), albwm 10 cân egnïol. Perfformiwyd cyfres o gigs llwyddiannus, a llawn, yn y Steddfod ym Moduan, ac yn edrych ymlaen i gigio mwy. Ydi, mae Baiaia! wedi gweld golau dydd, ond mae’r gweddill dan glo, tan rwan.

Collod Gai Toms ei fam, Gwenda, ym mis Ebrill 2020. Cafwyd angladd gyda 10 o fobl, a hynny oherwydd rheolau’r clo. Yn gyfansoddwr o fri, caeodd Gai ei hun yn ei stiwidio i ymateb yn greadigol i’r golled, a hynny mewn cyfnod dyrys dros ben.

Mae CARU OK yn daith teimladwy o onestrwydd a galar, i ryddid a phosotifrwydd ‘Baiaia!’

Dewch i brofi, dewch i gydymdeimlo, dewch i rannu, dewch i symud ymlaen, dewch i….
CARU OK!

Bendigaydfran – Pwy Sy’n Crio Nawr

Dyma sengl gyntaf unigol yr artist ‘euro pop’, ac mae’n gosod sylfaen i Lewis Owen i roi adenydd i Bendigaydfran. Cafodd Côsh eu cyflwyno i’r artist sy’n byw yng Nghaerdydd, wrth ryddhau ei ‘colab’ gyda Popeth, prosiect pop Cymraeg Ynyr Roberts gynt o Brigyn. Pleser wedyn oedd cael gwybod bod Bendigaydfran yn brosiect oedd am barhau gyda’r sengl ‘Pwy Sy’n Crio Nawr?’. Mae Lewis eisoes wedi bod yn llygaid y cyhoedd yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf wrth fynd yn feiral ambell waith ar TikTok, ond bellach mae’n gobeithio i’r gerddoriaeth bwysig y mae’n rhyddhau cyrraedd yr un uchelfannau.

Dywedodd Lewis, “Rydw i wedi cael digon o ddynion afiach sy’n rheoli fy mywyd fy hun! Dyna yw neges Pwy Sy’n Crio Nawr – y pŵer rydych chi’n ail-ddarganfod ynoch chi’ch hun ar ôl bod mewn perthynas gwenwynig. Mae hon yn gân ddawns gyda thempo cyflym a bass dwfn, gorfoleddus ac ecstatig yn ei naws fel noson llawn tân a chyffro pur. Mae yna fwlch ym myd cerddoriaeth Gymraeg am gerddoriaeth ddawns, clwb, cwiyr a dyma gân sy’n dathlu hwnna i gyd – dyma ni’n dathlu ein hunaniaeth a’r nerth sydd ynom ni oll.”

The Gentle Good – Galarfan

“There is so much to read, see and listen to on AM it’s hard to know where to begin. My advice would be that anywhere is absolutely fine, and you’ll soon find yourself falling down a wonderous rabbit hole of Welsh culture. I found new work by artists I already love and discovered amazing new people and projects in no time. You can put your finger right on Wales’ cultural pulse just by visiting this website. Lush.”

Mellt – Diwrnod Arall

Fel taran mae Mellt yn dychwelyd i fyd arallfydol fel gyda’u sengl newydd ‘Diwrnod Arall’. Mae cytuno ar syniad cychwynnol er mwyn creu fideo gyda thîm cynhyrchu yn beth anodd gyda’r posibiliadau’n ddiddiwedd. A doedd y ‘prosiect’ yma ddim yn eithriad, gyda thensiynau’n uchel, stormydd yn corddi, Dydd y Farn ar y gorwel… Ond yn achos Mellt, doedd dim angen chwilio ymhell am ysbrydoliaeth. Mae’r band yn cymryd yr awenau eu hunain, hawlio’u hawen greadigol yn ôl a gadael i’r gerddoriaeth siarad drosti hi ei hun. Felly gwyliwch, gwrandewch, mwynhewch. Daw gosteg wedi’r storm.
