Yr Arfordir Amgen - Alternative Coast

29/01/2026

🤩 Ieeesu mawr, lle i gychwyn?! (English post separate)
Rwan bod y llwch wedi setlo, mae'n bryd edrych yn ôl ar lwyddiant ysgubol gŵyl Yr Arfordir Amgen Dydd Sadwrn diwethaf yn Y Bae a dweud DIOLCH enfawr i bawb a oedd yn rhan o greu egni ac awyrgylch croesawgar, creadigol ac anhygoel yn y dref!
📃Rhestr... DIOLCH I...
🫂Y tîm trefnu a'r gwirfoddolwyr a helpodd mewn amryw o ffyrdd ar y diwrnod 🙌
🏛️Y lleoliadau gwych! Ink., Sheldons Cafe Bar, The Station Inn a The Bay Hop. Gwnaethoch chi i gyd popeth oedda chi'n gallu wrth i ni gymryd eich venues drosodd a da ni'n gwerthfawrogi eich ffydd ynom ni a'r digwyddiad a'ch holl help!
🎼Yr holl fandiau, DJs ac artistiaid (wedi'u tagio yn y sylwadau); cymaint o amrywiaeth o ran arddulliau a genres ond roedden nhw i gyd yn wirioneddol wych. Cymaint o uchafbwyntiau! Parch mawr i chi fyd. Hefyd, heb anghofio John Lawrence (PA yn yr Orsaf) a Dale (PA yn Ink) - sain gwych!
👷‍♂️👩‍🎓🧑‍🚀🧙‍♂️🧜‍♀️ Y llu o bobl (o'r Bae ac o bell) a ddaeth allan i fwynhau a chefnogi'r gigs - roedden ni'n c*chu brics braidd wrth gynnal yr ŵyl yn ystod mis mwyaf diflas y flwyddyn ond, doedd dim angen i ni boeni! Mi ddaeth y bobl!
💷Yn olaf, ond yn bwysig iawn, i'r partneriaid a'r ariannwyr a alluogodd Yr Arfordir Amgen i ddigwydd (ac i'r bandiau, y PAs etc gael eu talu!)... Menter Iaith Conwy a Pwyllgor Colwyn - llwyth o gymorth cyffredinol, gweinyddol, a threfniadol. Diwylliant Conwy Culture ( ) am ariannu gig Ink.
Noson Allan - Night Out (Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru) am helpu i ariannu gig The Station. 'Gigs 4 a 6' am rodd hael iawn a gwerthfawr i helpu i dalu costau cyffredinol, yn enwedig yn Sheldons. Cronfa Gwynt y Môr (trwy Menter Iaith) am rai o'r costau yn Sheldons a chostau hyrwyddo. 🤝

🍻 I'r dim, welwn ni chi blwyddyn nesaf (a chyn hynny hefyd, mwy na thebyg) Gwyliwch y gofod...

🤩 Well, where do we start?! (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Welsh post separate)
Now that a few days have passed and the dust has settled, it's time to look back at the huge success of Yr Arfordir Amgen -Alternative Coast festival last Saturday in CB and say a massive DIOLCH to all involved in creating such a creative energy and awesome welcoming vibe in the town!
📃List... DIOLCH TO...
🫂The organising team and the volunteers who helped in loads of ways on the day 🙌
🏛️The wonderful venues! Ink., Sheldons Cafe Bar, The Station Inn & The Bay Hop. All of you went out of your way to accommodate us in many ways and we really appreciate your faith in us and the event and all your help!
🎼All the bands, DJs and artists (tagged in the comments); such a variety in terms of styles and genres but all were genuinely top notch. So many highlights! We've had so many messages complimenting the live music. Plus, not to forget John Lawrence (PA in the Station) and Dale (PA in Ink) - top sound!
👷‍♂️👩‍🎓🧑‍🚀🧙‍♂️🧜‍♀️ The huge amount of people (from the Bay and also from far afield) who came out to enjoy and support the gigs - we were pretty nervous putting the festival on in the most dreary month of the year but bloody hell, there was no need for us to worry! The people turned out in force!
💷Lastly, but very very importantly, to the partners and funders who enabled Yr Arfordir Amgen - Alternative Coast to happen (and for the bands, PAs to be paid!)... Menter Iaith Conwy & Pwyllgor Colwyn loads of general, admin, organisational help. Diwylliant Conwy Culture ( ) for funding the Ink gig.
Noson Allan-Night Out (Wales Arts Council) for helping fund The Station gig. 'Gigs 4 a 6' for a very generous and appreciated donation to help cover general costs, especially at Sheldons. Gwynt y Môr fund (via Menter Iaith) for some of the costs at Sheldons and promotion costs. 🤝

🍻 Nice one, see you next year (and most probably before that too) Watch this space...
