Andy Fairweather Low & The Low Riders 20 February / 20 Chwefror

Andy Fairweather Low’s pedigree is the stuff rock dreams are made of. He first came to prominence at the forefront of the new youthful expression of music as the lead singer in Amen Corner. The 60s saw them clock up hit after pop hit. Songs such as Bend Me Shape Me, Hello Suzy, and ( If Paradise is ) Half As Nice are internationally remembered to this day. If you just remember Andy’s early work and major solo hits such as Wide Eyed And Legless, you’re in for a treat - there’s so much more. Mae cefndir Andy Fairweather Low yn freuddwyd roc a rôl. Daeth i’r amlwg am y tro cyntaf ym maes y gerddoriaeth newydd i ieuenctid fel prif ganwr Amen Corner. Cafodd y grŵp llwyddiant ar ôl llwyddiant yn y 60au. Mae caneuon fel Bend Me Shape Me, Hello Suzy, ac (If Paradise is) Half As Nice yn cael eu cofio’n rhyngwladol hyd heddiw. Os mai dim ond gwaith cynnar Andy a’i brif lwyddiannau fel unawdydd, fel Wide Eyed And Legless, rydych yn eu cofio, byddwch yn cael gwledd. Mae cymaint mwy i ddod!

Torch Theatre Company Presents / Cwmni Theatr Torch yn cyflwyno

Grav

27 February / 27 Chwefror Directed by Peter Doran In October 2007 Ray Gravell, a man who for many embodied what it is to be Welsh, passed away after succumbing to complications resulting from contracting diabetes. He was 56 years old.    Known to millions for his legendary exploits on the rugby field, ‘Grav’ was and is so much more than that. An actor, a cultural icon, a father, a husband, a man with a life packed full of stories that deserve to be heard once more.  The Torch Theatre Company presents Gareth Bale as ‘Grav’ in a play written by Owen Thomas that celebrates the man and the legend. With the blessing of Mari, Ray’s widow, and contributions from his Welsh and British Lions team mates, this one man show explores the life of a man who was as fascinating away from the rugby field as he was on it.

Wedi’i gyfarwyddo gan Peter Doran Ym mis Hydref 2007, bu farw Ray Gravell, yr ymgorfforiad o Gymro delfrydol i lawer, oherwydd cymhlethdodau yn sgil datblygu diabetes. Roedd yn 56 oed.     Yn adnabyddus i filiynau oherwydd ei gampau ar y cae rygbi, roedd ‘Grav’, ac mae e nawr hyd yn oed, yn gymaint mwy na hynny. Yn actor, yn eicon diwylliannol, tad, gŵr ac yn ddyn â bywyd llawn hanesion sy’n haeddu cael eu clywed unwaith eto.   Mae Cwmni Theatr Torch yn cyflwyno Gareth Bale fel ‘Grav’ mewn drama a ysgrifennwyd gan Owen Thomas sy’n dathlu’r dyn a’r arwr. Gyda bendith ei weddw Mari, a chyfraniadau gan ei gyd-chwaraewyr o dimau Cymru a’r Llewod, mae’r sioe un-dyn hon yn edrych ar fywyd gŵr oedd yr un mor ddiddorol i ffwrdd o’r cae chwarae ag yr oedd arno.

Meet Fred. He’s just a regular guy who wants to get on in life: get a job, find a nice girl, settle down. The only problem is that Fred is a Puppet, and that’s where his dependency issues start. Day to day life is tough when everything you do relies on three other guys being with you at all times. Out for a quiet walk, on a date, in the bathroom, life is never simple for the puppets amongst us. Mixing live performance and puppetry, this is comedy theatre with a whole lot of heart, performed by an inclusive cast. Dewch i gwrdd â Fred. Boi cyffredin sy eisiau’r pethau arferol: dod o hyd i swydd, dod o hyd i gariad, setlo lawr. Yr unig broblem yw mai pyped yw Fred, a dyna ble mae ei broblemau dibyniaeth yn dechrau. Mae bywyd bob dydd yn anodd pan mae’n rhaid i chi ddibynnu ar dri arall i fod gyda chi bob amser. Mynd am dro tawel, mynd i gwrdd â chariad, mynd i’r ystafell ymolchi, dyw bywyd byth yn syml i’r pypedau yn ein plith. Gan gymysgu perfformiadau byw â phypedwaith, mae’r theatr gomedi hon yn llawn calon, ac wedi’i pherfformio gan gast cynhwysol.

Diary of a Madman 14 April / 14 Ebrill Photo: Kirsten McTernan

Poprishchin is a low ranking civil servant for the Government, struggling to make his mark on life, but one day he makes an amazing discovery. Could he really be the next King of Spain? Driven insane by government bureaucracy and hierarchy, Gogol’s dark comedy exposes one man’s reality spiralling deeper into a surreal fantasy world. Performed by award-winning actor, Robert Bowman and directed by Olivier Award nominee Sinéad Rushe. “…Bowman perfectly encapsulates the madness as we watch him unravel before our eyes and head deeper into a fantasy world” Western Mail Mae Poprishchin yn was sifil isradd i’r Llywodraeth, sy’n brwydro i adael ei ôl ar fywyd, ond un diwrnod, mae’n gwneud darganfyddiad anhygoel. Ai ef yw brenin nesaf Sbaen? Yn wallgof oherwydd biwrocratiaeth a hierarchaeth y Llywodraeth, dengys comedi tywyll Gogol realiti un dyn yn troelli’n ddyfnach i fyd ffantasi swrrealaidd. Perfformir y ddrama gan yr actor arobryn Robert Bowman a’r cyfarwyddwr yw Sinéad Rushe a enwebwyd am Wobr Olivier. “…Mae Bowman yn ymgorffori’r gwallgofrwydd yn berffaith, wrth inni ei wylio’n mynd yn ddarnau o flaen ein llygaid a disgyn yn ddyfnach i fyd ffantasi” - Western Mail

30 April / 30 Ebrill Although it sounds like a tale from a children’s story, the reality is that fish are slowly starting to disappear from our rivers and seas. Why? Leaper: A Fish Tale follows one fish’s perilous quest against the ever-growing natural and man-made challenges in our waters. This modern fairy-tale explores the colourful and breath-taking world beneath the water’s surface, encourages children to create a relationship with marine life and nurture it for generations to come. Er bod hon yn swnio fel stori i blant, y gwir yw bod pysgod yn diflannu’n araf o’n hafonydd a’n moroedd. Pam? Mae’r cyflwyniad hwn yn dilyn taith beryglus pysgodyn i oresgyn yr heriau cynyddol - rhai naturiol a rhai o waith dyn - sydd yn ein dyfroedd. Mae’r chwedl fodern hon yn ymchwilio i’r byd lliwgar a syfrdanol o dan wyneb y dŵr, gan annog plant i ffurfio perthynas â bywyd morol a’i feithrin ar gyfer cenedlaethau’r dyfodol.

NOT Necessarily Sew 11-29 January / 11-29 Ionawr

Phillip Lowde 8-26 February / 8-26 Chwefror

A local group of very diverse individuals who believe in creating their own unique styles. Each member has completed City and Guilds in Textiles, and pride themselves on using a variety of materials from traditional to the bizarre... hence ‘Not Necessarily Sew’!

This exhibition is by a local artist who was inspired by a famous landscape oil painter that aired our TV screens in the 80’s and 90’s. These works are of high detail and standard that will transport you into a world colour and imagination.

Grw ˆ p lleol o unigolion amrywiol iawn sy’n credu mewn creu eu harddulliau unigryw eu hunain. Mae pob aelod wedi cwblhau’r cwrs Tecstilau ‘City and Guilds’, ac yn ymfalchïo am ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o ddeunyddiau o’r traddodiadol i’r rhyfedd... sydd felly’n esbonio’r teitl - ‘Not Necessarily Sew’!

Arddangosfa yw hon o waith arlunydd lleol a gafodd ei ysbrydoli gan arlunydd enwog tirluniau mewn olew, yr ymddangosodd ei waith ar y teledu yn yr 1980au a’r 1990au. Bydd y gweithiau manwl o safon uchel yn eich tywys i fyd llawn lliw a dychymyg.
