Croeso i NEWPORT ROCK COLLECTING
Mae Newport Rock Collecting yn brosiect casglu cyfoes a phrosiect hanes cymdeithasol a gafodd ei greu gan Winding Snake Productions, gyda chefnogaeth Amgueddfa ac Oriel Gelf Casnewydd. Mae’n cael ei ariannu gan Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri Genedlaethol a’r Campws Cyntaf ym Mhrifysgol y De.
Trwy 2018 a 2020, byddwn ni’n casglu straeon a gwrthrychau o gigs Casnewydd yn y cyfnod 1970-2010 ar gyfer archif awdio ac arddangosfa newydd a fydd yn dathlu bandiau, gigs a roc yng Nghasnewydd.

Dyma'r disgrifiad Cymraeg
I WAS A STUDENT AT THE THEN GWENT COLLEGE OF HIGHER EDUCATION, BACK IN THE EARLY 90'S. IN DECEMBER 1992, DURING MY FIRST TERM, I WENT TO SEE MY FAVOURITE BAND LITTLE ANGELS FOR THE FIRST TIME AT NEWPORT CENTRE. COMING FROM BRISTOL, AND BEING USED TO THE COLSTON HALL, NEWPORT (ENTRE SEEMED JUST LIKE A SPORTS HALL TO ME!
I REMEMBER THE EVENING FAIRLY VIVIDLY AS I WENT WITH A GUY ON MY COURSE WHO I HAD A HUGE CRUSH ON. I WAS SO SHY, AND LOOKING BACK I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT THE NERVE TO ASK HIM TO GO WITH ME! AS IT WAS, WE BARELY SPOKE TO EACH OTHER DUE TO MY NERVES AND SHYNESS! THE GIG ITSELF WAS BRILLIANT, AND I NOT LONG AFTER THAT COT THEIR ALBUM "JAM" WHEN IT WAS RELEASED IN 1993. LITTLE ANGELS WERE SO UNDERRATED I THINK - I STILL PLAY THEIR MUSIC TO THIS DAY.
