As this month is Pride Month, over the upcoming weeks we will be sharing some posts to celebrate 🏳️‍🌈

For our first post we have a video about growing up with 2 mums by our very own Charlie who does our marketing here!

Shot for BBC Sesh back in 2021, Charlie explained what it was like growing up with 2 Mothers, the process of In vitro fertilisation (IVF) and more! If you, or someone you know is a part of the LGBTQ+ community and are thinking of starting a family this could be a useful piece of media for you!

The original video has been viewed over 1 million times on Facebook and shared across the world, the full video is available on the BBC Sesh page (search “2 Mums BBC Sesh”) or the link will be available in our bio too!

Gan mai Mis Balchder yw’r mis hwn, byddwn yn rhannu rhai postiadau dros yr wythnosau nesaf i ddathlu.

Ar gyfer ein post cyntaf, mae gennym fideo am dyfu i fyny gyda 2 fam gan ein Charlie ein hunain, sy’n gofalu am ein marchnata yma!

Wedi’i ffilmio ar gyfer BBC Sesh yn ôl yn 2021, mae Charlie yn esbonio sut brofiad oedd tyfu i fyny gyda dwy fam, y broses o ffrwythloni mewn tiwb profi (IVF), a llawer mwy. Os ydych chi, neu rywun rydych yn ei adnabod, yn rhan o’r gymuned LGBTQ+ ac yn ystyried dechrau teulu, gallai hwn fod yn adnodd defnyddiol i chi.

Mae’r fideo gwreiddiol wedi cael ei wylio dros 1 miliwn o weithiau ar Facebook ac wedi’i rhannu ledled y byd. Mae’r fideo llawn ar gael ar dudalen Facebook BBC Sesh (chwiliwch am “2 Mums BBC Sesh”), neu bydd y ddolen ar gael yn ein bio hefyd! 🏳️‍🌈

Ever wondered what our young participants got out of Get Gigging? Here’s some more testimonials from young people who got involved!

Get Gigging has been very useful for the young musicians who have taken part in the series. They have gotten more gigs, radio plays, improved their applications for university and even met new friends along the way 🙂

You can check the full video on our website now!

Ydych chi erioed wedi meddwl beth gafodd ein cyfranogwyr ifanc allan o Get Gigging? Dyma ragor o dystiolaethau gan bobl ifanc a gymerodd ran!

Mae Get Gigging wedi bod yn ddefnyddiol iawn i’r cerddorion ifanc sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn y gyfres. Maen nhw wedi cael mwy o gigs, darllediadau radio, wedi gwella eu ceisiadau ar gyfer y brifysgol, a hyd yn oed wedi gwneud ffrindiau newydd ar hyd y ffordd 🙂

Words and poetry can be so powerful and moving which is why we hosted an event for people to share their own this last Saturday!

A massive thank you to everyone who got up onto the mic to share their poems, monologues and more! It wouldn’t be possible without you!

Do you want more events like this in the future? Let us know in the comments below

Gall geiriau a barddoniaeth fod mor bwerus ac emosiynol, a dyna pam y gwnaethom gynnal digwyddiad i bobl rannu eu rhai eu hunain ddydd Sadwrn diwethaf!

Here’s a little video recap of what our young musicians got up to on Saturday for the 2nd session of Get Gigging this Spring!

Firstly we would like to thank Gemma for showing everyone how to do tech specs, setting up for a gig and also very importantly standing up and advocating for yourself in a male dominated/ hierarchical industry.

We would also then like to thank Lisha, who talked them through what it is to be a rep and a promoter, and what she looks for in an artist that she is going to book.

We are super grateful for our mentors and everyone who turned up to the session! Our next session is on Sunday where we will be covering performance tips and practicing for the Big Gig on the 28th!

Dyma fideo bach sy’n crynhoi beth oedd ein cerddorion ifanc yn ei wneud ddydd Sadwrn ar gyfer ail sesiwn Get Gigging y gwanwyn hwn!

Yn gyntaf hoffem ddiolch i Gemma am ddangos i bawb sut i wneud tech specs, sut i baratoi ar gyfer gig, a hefyd – yn bwysig iawn – sut i sefyll dros eich hun a siarad dros eich hawliau mewn diwydiant sy’n cael ei ddominyddu gan ddynion ac sydd yn aml yn hierarchaidd.

Hoffem hefyd ddiolch i Lisha, a esboniodd beth yw bod yn gynrychiolydd ac yn hyrwyddwr, a beth mae hi’n chwilio amdano mewn artist y mae hi’n mynd i’w archebu.

Rydym yn hynod ddiolchgar i’n mentoriaid ac i bawb a ddaeth i’r sesiwn! Bydd ein sesiwn nesaf ddydd Sul, lle byddwn yn trafod awgrymiadau perfformio ac yn ymarfer ar gyfer y Big Gig ar y 28ain!
