Gŵyl Criccieth
Dydd Sul 13eg i Ddydd Iau 17eg Mehefin

Rwyf yn awr yn falch iawn o gael cadarnhau'r trefniadau ar gyfer rhan Cadwaladers yng Ngŵyl Cricieth. Byddwn yn cynnal cerddoriaeth fyw yn ein caffi am 5 noson yn olynol, i gyd yn dilyn yr un drefn â'n nosweithiau Iau jazz arferol:
· Dewch, ymlaciwch a mwynhewch
· Croeso i bawb
· Prynwch goffi ac efallai gynnyrch hufen iâ. Am ddim, ond cyfraniadau i'r Gronfa Jazz pan ydych wedi mwynhau
· Gwneud ffrindiau
· Yr holl sesiynau 7.00 i 9.00

Byddwn yn cynnig amrywiaeth eang o arddulliau i gyd gan gerddorion lleol gydag enwau da, yn genedlaethol ac mewn rhai achosion yn rhyngwladol. Rhaid inni ddathlu y cyfoeth o dalentau sy'n bodoli yn lleol a'u cefnogi. Dyma'r rhaglen:

13eg Mehefin. Cerddoriaeth Nos Sul. Wedi'i ddysgu'n glasurol, yn arbennig ar y gitar Sbaenaidd, mae Dafydd Dabson yn gwneud enw iddo'i hun yng Nghaerdydd fel cerddor proffesiynol. Yn wreiddiol o Langwnnadl. Yn fedrus mewn nifer o arddulliau, caiff rwydd hynt I ddilyn ei drywydd ei hun. Rwyf yn hynod o falch o gael croesawu Dafydd yn ôl gan mai fo ddechreuodd y syniad o Jazz Cadwalader 2 flynedd yn ôl.

14eg Mehefin. Cerddoriaeth Nos Lun. Yr hynod enwog Dr Jazz, gyda Andy MacKenzie a Gwyn Evans fydd yn ymuno gyda ni a'i raglen lawn arddull Gymreig.

15fed Mehefin. Cerddoriaeth Nos Fawrth. Rydym eisiau hyrwyddo a chefnogi talentau lleol sy'n datblygu ac mae'n anodd curo Meinir Gwilym. Mae'n arbenigo yn y gitar a llais a cherddoriaeth Gymreig gyfoes. Mae'n aml iawn ar y radio a'r teledu ac wedi gweithio gyda Bryn Terfel.

16eg Mehefin. Cerddoriaeth Nos Fercher. Wedi ymddangos yn ein nosweithiau Iau croesawn Huw Warren ond y tro yma gyda'i Driawd sy'n cynnwys bâs dwbl a'i fab ar y drymiau. Mae i Huw enw cenedlaethol ac mae wedi'i wobrwyo yng Ngwobrau Jazz y BBC ac yn cael parch fel hyrwyddwr y byd Cerdd Ieuenctid Cymreig.

17eg Mehefin. Cerddoriaeth Nos Iau. Dyma Noson y Sêr Cadwalader. Mae rhaid gadael I Andy gael y llwyfan ynghyd â llawer o gerddorion sydd wedi ein cefnogi a'n diddanu dros y 18 mis diwethaf. Nid yw'n agored i bawb gymeryd rhan ond mae croeso i unrhyw un sydd wedi cymeryd rhan yn ein Nosweithiau Jazz.

Mae gan Ŵyl Criccieth hefyd noson arbennig ar 18fed Mehefin i selogion Jazz gyda Chyngerdd gan Catrin Finch yn y Neuadd Goffa. Mae'n enwog am ei medr ar y Delyn, mae hwn yn brofiad unigryw o ansawdd na ddylid ei golli.

Cefnogwch gymaint ag y gallwch o ddigwyddiadau Gŵyl Criccieth os gwelwch yn dda, dywedwch wrth eich ffrindiau am y dewis helaeth o gerddoriaeth fyw.

Gellir gweld y manylion ar Safle We Gŵyl Criccieth ac ar y pamffledi sydd ar gael dros y lle i gyd ac yn sicr yng Nghadwaladers yng Nghricieth.

Fringe events to the festival were provided around the town including an exquisite craft exhibition and craft workshops supplied by Crafty Needles; a very informative history walk led by Mr. Sid Caplan; an excellent art exhibition displaying work of a very high standard and the wonderful annual flower festival displayed at the Roman Catholic Church.

The Starlight Players also performed a very amusing play ‘Murdered to Death’; Students from Coleg Menai, Bangor played songs and danced on Y Maes; Mr and Mrs Eric Maggs invited people to take afternoon tea and to explore their delightful garden; and our festival service was held at St. Catherine’s Church, led by the Reverend Sue Williams with an address given by the Very Reverend Alun Hawkins, Dean of Bangor.

The speaker for the annual Lloyd George Memorial Lecture was Lord Mark Malloch Brown (former United Nations Deputy Secretary-General and former Minister of State in the Foreign Office) who enthralled his audience by asking “From Versailles to Copenhagen: would Lloyd George recognise the modern summit?”

Cadwaladers – Criccieth
Sun 13th June to Thurs 17th June

I am now delighted to be able to confirm the arrangements for Cadwaladers involvement in the Criccieth Festival. We will be providing live music in our Café for 5 consecutive nights all under the same format as our usual Thursday Jazz evenings:
· Come, relax and enjoy
· Open to all
· Buy some coffees and perhaps indulge yourselves with ice creams and sundaes
· Free, but donations to the Jazz Fund when you have enjoyed yourselves
· Make friends
· All sessions 7.00 to 9.00

We will be offering a wide variety of styles all from local musicians with big reputations both nationally and in some cases internationally. We must celebrate the incredibly rich seam of talent that exists locally and support them. The programme is:

13th June. Sundae Night Music. Classically trained, particularly on the Spanish Guitar, Dafydd Dabson he is now making a name for himself in Cardiff as a Music Professional. Dafydd originates from Llangwynadl. Proficient in a wide range of styles I am letting him indulge himself. I am particularly delighted to welcome Dafydd back as 2 years ago he started the whole Cadwalader Jazz thing off.

14th June. Mondae Night Music. The extremely well known Dr Jazz, for whom Andy MacKenzie plays, also boasts Gwyn Evans and he will be joining us displaying a Welsh style to his repertoire.

15th June. Tuesdae Night Music. We want to encourage and support local emerging talent and we cant get much better than Meinir Gwilym. Guitar and Vocals are her speciality with contemporary Welsh music. She has many credits on Radio and TV besides featuring with Bryn Terfel.

16th June. Wednesdae Night Music. Having featured previously on our Thursday evenings we welcome Huw Warren but this time with his Trio which includes Double Bass and his son on drums. Both a 1st for Cadwaladers in Criccieth. Huw is nationally acclaimed having been recognized in the BBC Jazz Awards and hugely respected in promoting the Welsh Youth Music scene.

17th June. Thursdae Night Music. This is Cadwalader All Stars Night. We need to let Andy take centre stage plus many of the musicians who have supported and entertained us over the last 18 months. It is not an open mike session but anyone who has played on our Jazz Nights will be welcome.

The Criccieth Festival also boasts a special Evening on Friday 18th June for Jazz lovers with a Concert by Catrin Finch in the Memorial Hall. Famous for her skills on the Harp this is truly a quality and unique experience which must not be missed.

Please support as many of the Gwyl Criccieth events as possible, tell your friends of this extravaganza of live music. Details can be found on the Criccieth Festival Website and from leaflets dotted all over the place but certainly from Cadwaladers in Criccieth.
