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 SAW JOOLS HOLLAND IN THE KINGS HOTEL WITH MY PARENTS WHEN I WAS 14. IT WAS AMAZING AND THE VENUE WAS FULL OF ENERGY. AFTERWARDS OUR FRIEND ROBERT WANTED TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH SO (IM GUESSING AS I WAS THE ONLY KID THERE) JOOLS INVITED ME, MY PARENTS AND ROB INTO THEIR SUITE FOR A SANDWICH, DRINK AND A CHAT AFTER THE SHOW.
WILL ALSO NEVER FORGET SEEING HOTHOUSE FLOWERS AT NEWPORT CENTRE FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN I WAS 12 (AGAIN WITH MY VERY COOL PARENTS) AND SEEING LIAM (THE LEAD SINGER) HAIR SWISHING AROUND WHILST HE HAMMERED AT THE PIANO AND SANG LIKE HIS INSIDES WERE ON SHOW.
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MORE BUT I WOULD SAY THESE ENIGMATIC ARTISTS WERE SOME OF THE MAIN ONES MADE ME WANT TO START MY OWN BAND - AND IN MY VERY OWN HOMETOWN!"
