Berry Gordy, Motown fathodd y motto 'Innovate or Stagnate' a mae hynny mor wir os di rhywun yn gweithio o fewn y maes diwylliannol Cymreig. Mae fy llyfr cyntaf yn Saesneg Real Gwynedd yn cael ei gyhoeddi gan Seren Books a fy mwriad yw trefnu teithiau tywys o'r gwahanol safloedd yn y llyfr dros y flwyddyn nesa (2022).

It was Berry Gordy, Motown Records that came up with the motto 'Innovate or Stagnate' and this is so true for any of us working within Welsh culture. Real Gwynedd published by Seren Books is my first English language book and my aim is to do guided tours of many of the sites and locations mentioned in the book over the course of 2022.

Blwyddyn yn ol fe ddechreuais weithio gyda Ymddiriedolaeth Archaeolegol Gwynedd ar gytundeb am 6 mis. Dyma rhai o'r profiadau gorau i mi gael erioed - yn enwedig yn gweithio fyny ar Barics Treforys ger Chwarel Gorseddau, Cwm Ystradllyn. Yn anffodus mewn ffordd bu rhaid rhoi'r gorau i'r gwaith mis Mehefin dwetha gan fod y gwaith arall fel awdur a tywysydd teithiau cerdded yn galw - a dyna lle mae fy nyfodol / pensiwn.

Almost a year ago to the day, I started working for Gwynedd Archaeological Trust on a 6 month contract. As an archaeologist, these were some of my best experiences - especially working with the small team recording the barracks at Treforys near Gorseddau Quarry, Cwm Ystradllyn. Unfortunately in some ways my other work as an author and Tour Gude bounced back with a vengance last June and I had to let the archaeology go. As an author and guiding walks I have a pension plan.

The Good Life Experience / Llwyfan Pen Bar Lag
Yn ystod 2018 a 2019 drwy wahoddiad gan Cerys Matthews cafwyd cyfle i guradu llwyfan 'Pen Bar Lag' fel rhan o'r Good Life Experience. Ymhlith yr artistiad ymddangosodd oedd Denise Johnson, Stuart Moxham, Lleuwen, Sian James, Gwilym Bowen Rhys, Rufus Mufasa, Adwaith, Blodau Papur, Los Blancos, Papur Wal, Pon Bro, Dewi Prysor a llawer llawer mwy.
Mae'n debyg na fydd yr wyl yn digwydd yn yr un ffurf eto a does dim cynlluniau ar gyfer curadu llwyfan. Felly mae curadur ar gael.

During 2018 and 2019 I curated a stage known as Pen Bar Lag following an invitation by Cerys Matthews at The Good Life Experience. Over the two years the line-up included Denise Johnson, Stuart Moxham, Lleuwen, Sian James, Gwilym Bowen Rhys, Rufus Mufasa, Adwaith, Blodau Papur, Los Blancos, Papur Wal, Pon Bro, Dewi Prysor and many many more.
My understanding is that the Good Life Experience will not take place in the same way in the future and there are no plans for anything like Pen Bar Lag. Curator For Hire.
