There is an unforgiving wilderness that runs through nature’s core that Nanws a’ch Rhobert finds difficult to resist. She plunges into January’s coldest lakes and dances in August’s burning sun with equal awe. When she heard a Methodist minister speak for the first time, she was stirred and applied the same forces of nature to help her build the first Methodist chapel in Gwynedd. She was also born...

Mae rhyw rym anfaddeuol yn perthyn i natur, ac mae Nanws a’ch Rhobert yn gyfarwydd tu hwnt ac ef. Hwn yw’r union rym oedd yn gyrru Nanws i blymio i lynnoedd oeraf Ionawr, a’r grym a’i gyrrodd i ddawnsio yn ddi-dor yng ngwres heulwen Awst. Ond pan glywodd Nanws bregeth Fethodistiaidd am y tro cyntaf erioed, mae hi yn sylwi ar y pwer sydd gan eiriau i’n cyfareddu hefyd. Roedd hi wedi dotio, a phende...

Siôn Fychan the Clog Dancer brings joy to the valley with every tap of each dance and every beat of each song. He was most welcome in many of the ‘Nosweithiau Llawen’ (merriment evenings) held in Tŷ Mawr, although not so very welcome to share the same joy during Sunday services, from which he was, ultimately, banned. He reminds us that joy deserves to reside everywhere, even in the most expectedly...

Mae Siôn Fychan y Clocsiwr yn llenwi’r cwm yn llawn lliw a llawenydd! Mae’n llwyddo i godi’r calonnau trymaf gyda phob tap o bob dawns a phob curiad o bob cân. Roedd yn cael croeso gwyllt ym mhob Noson Lawen yn Nhŷ Mawr - er nad oedd yr un brwdfrydedd iddo yng ngwasanaethau’r Sul ‘chwaith, ac am hynny, fei gafodd ei wahardd o’r capel. Mae’n ein hatgoffa bod lle i lawenydd ym mhobman, hyd yn oed yn...

Barbra, Fedw Deg shares a story with you of a lost love long gone. A crushing tale from a time when status and power were held in high regard, and longings of the heart discounted and dismissed. She may also share some hidden ways in which hope and love can be kept alive through the power of music, and invites you to tune into other ways of listening and playing…  Actor: Mair Tomos Ifans  

Mae Barbra Fedw Deg yn rhannu hanes gyda ni am gariad colledig, pellennig. Hanes o adeg pan oedd statws a phŵer yn bethau llawer amgenach na hiraeth a chariad. Os gallwch wrando tu hwnt i wrando ar Barbra, efallai y byddai’n rhannu ychydig o ddulliau cudd hefo chi, dulliau lle mae modd i hudoliaeth cerddoriaeth gadw gobaith  yn fyw…  Actor: Mair Tomos Ifans
