Coltrane Dedication is a Welsh jazz collective devoted to the emotional power and fearless improvisation of John Coltrane’s later music. Formed when five musicians realised they were due to play together on the 40th anniversary of Coltrane’s death, the group committed to exploring his catalogue with intensity, freedom and deep respect.

They don’t perform tributes — they channel the visceral spirit, fire and forward‑driving creativity of Coltrane’s 1960–67 period, using his compositions as a springboard for their own passionate, contemporary improvisation. Their performances are known for raw energy, meditative depth and a commitment to keeping this extraordinary music alive in the present moment.

Lyndon Owen – saxes; Will Cass – guitars; Bill Fletcher – bass; Dave Jones – piano; Ian Poole – drums.

Mae Coltrane Dedication yn grŵp jazz Cymreig sy'n ymroddedig i bŵer emosiynol a pherfformio byr fyfyr di-ofn cerddoriaeth ddiweddarach John Coltrane. Ffurfiwyd y band pan sylweddolodd pump cerddor eu bod yn chwarae gyda'i gilydd ar 40fed pen-blwydd marwolaeth Coltrane. Ymrwymodd y grŵp i archwilio ei gatalog gyda dwyster, rhyddid a pharch dwfn.

Nid ydynt yn perfformio teyrngedau — maent yn sianelu ysbryd, tân a chreadigrwydd blaengar cyfnod Coltrane rhwng 1960 a 1967, gan ddefnyddio ei gyfansoddiadau fel man cychwyn ar gyfer eu byrfyfyrio angerddol a chyfoes eu hunain. Mae eu perfformiadau'n adnabyddus am eu hegni crai, dyfnder myfyriol ac ymrwymiad i gadw'r gerddoriaeth ryfeddol hon yn fyw yn y foment bresennol.

‘There are times when fiction is truer than truth’.

Bill Hamblett recalls how his dad’s fantasy novel, The Crazy Kill, was inspired by true events surrounding the filming of Moby Dick, and led to a small boy rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty.

The man organising the giant lantern parade at Fishguard and Goodwick’s Ar Ymyl y Tir/On Land’s Edge Moby Dick-themed festival has a unique connection with the great white whale.

Bill Hamblett, director of Cardigan’s Small World Theatre, was a near-neighbour of leading man Gregory Peck in California during the late 1950s and his father, Charles, a Hollywood screenwriter who worked on John Huston’s classic 1956 movie.

Bill has offbeat recollections on the creation of Huston’s masterpiece, as well as his own family’s colourful background including a link to John Lennon!

*  *  *

'Mae adegau pan fod ffuglen yn fwy gwir na gwirionedd’.

Mae Bill Hamblett yn cofio sut y cafodd nofel ffantasi ei dad, The Crazy Kill, ei hysbrydoli gan ddigwyddiadau gwir o amgylch ffilmio Moby Dick. Arweiniodd hyn at fachgen bach yn rhwbio ysgwyddau gyda theulu brenhinol Hollywood.

Mae gan y dyn a drefnodd yr Gorymdaith lusernau enfawr Moby Dick yng Ngŵyl Ar Ymyl y Tir/On Land’s Edge yn Abergwaun ac Wdig, gysylltiad unigryw â’r morfil gwyn mawr.

Roedd teulu Bill Hamblett, sy’n gyfarwyddwr Theatr Byd Bach Aberteifi, yn gymydogion agos i’r prif actor Gregory Peck yng Nghaliffornia yn ystod diwedd y 1950au. Gwaith tad Bill, Charles Hamblett, oedd ysgrifennu sgriptiau yn Hollywood, gan gynnwys sgript ffilm glasurol John Huston yn 1956.

Bydd Bill yn rhannu ei atgofion anarferol am greu campwaith Huston, yn ogystal â chefndir lliwgar ei deulu ei hun gan gynnwys cysylltiad â John Lennon!

Director: Rohan Parashuram Kanawade/2025/India/113mins/Subtitles

This quietly radical debut feature film is a beautifully constructed romantic drama : a meditation on tackling grief and falling in love. Shot in the village where Kanawade’s mother was raised, it was partly inspired by his own experience.

The film won the World Cinema Grand Prize at Sundance Film Festival.

*  *  *

Cyfarwyddwr: Rohan Parashuram Kanawade/2025/India/113munud/Isdeitlau

Ffilm gyntaf gan grefftiwr sydd wedi creu stori tawel ond radical. Drama ramantus wedi'i hadeiladu'n hyfryd: myfyrdod ar fynd i'r afael â galar a syrthio mewn cariad. Wedi'i ffilmio yn y pentref lle magwyd mam Kanawade, cafodd ei hysbrydoli'n rhannol gan ei brofiad ei hun.

Enillodd y ffilm Wobr Fawr Sinema'r Byd yng Ngŵyl Ffilm Sundance.

Director:  Christian Petzold/2025/Germany/86mins/Subtitles

Laura, a troubled pianist, survives a car crash and is taken into the remote country home of Betty, sole witness to the accident.

While recuperating, Laura discovers that Betty and her estranged family are harbouring secrets and her presence stirs up their tragic past.

*  *  *

Cyfarwyddwr:  Christian Petzold/2025/Germany/86munud/Isdeitlau

Mae Laura yn bianydd o dan bwysau, sy’n goroesi damwain car ac yn cael ei chymryd i gartref anghysbell Betty, yr unig dyst i'r ddamwain.

Wrth iddi wella, mae Laura yn darganfod bod Betty a'i theulu yn cuddio cyfrinachau ac mae ei phresenoldeb yn cynhyrfu eu gorffennol trasig.

Broadoak have been playing together as a group for seven years, but Chris Kay (voice, whistle), Wendy Lewis (fiddle, voice) and Peter Kay (fretted instruments, voice) have been playing together informally for much longer than that.

Their roots are deep and wide in all genres of music: folk in all its forms, obviously, but also classical, rock (with a special mention for prog rock), pop, gamelan, electronica, Welsh Chapel and more.

Their own material leans towards narrative: their hit show Abereiddy told the amazing story of the village from 1800 to the present. On the other hand, Birdsongs was an impressionistic look at the links between birds and human beings. They sing a selection of traditional songs and covers: their only real criterion is that they have to enjoy singing the song.

A Broadoak gig ranges widely in tone, with tales of comedy, tales of tragedy, and the beauties of everyday life. Their “signature sound” is vocal harmony dancing on a supple web of fiddle and guitar.

Come along a listen to their sweet tones for the next Live at Martha's gig at Theatr Gwaun.

*  *  *

Mae Broadoak wedi bod yn chwarae gyda'i gilydd fel grŵp ers saith mlynedd, ond mae Chris Kay (llais, chwiban), Wendy Lewis (ffidil, llais) a Peter Kay (offerynnau ffret, llais) wedi bod yn chwarae gyda'i gilydd yn anffurfiol ers llawer hirach na hynny.

Mae eu gwreiddiau'n ddwfn ac yn eang ym mhob arddull o gerddoriaeth: gwerin ym mhob ffurf, wrth gwrs, ond hefyd clasurol, roc (gyda sôn arbennig am roc prog), pop, gamelan, electronica, Capel Cymru a mwy.

Mae eu deunydd eu hunain yn tueddu at naratif: roedd eu sioe boblogaidd Abereiddy yn adrodd stori anhygoel y pentref o 1800 hyd heddiw. Ar y llaw arall, roedd Birdsongs yn olwg argraffiadol ar y cysylltiadau rhwng adar a bodau dynol. Maen nhw'n canu detholiad o ganeuon traddodiadol a chaneuon clawr: eu hunig faen prawf go iawn yw bod yn rhaid iddyn nhw fwynhau canu'r gân.

Mae gig Broadoak yn amrywio'n fawr o ran tôn, gyda straeon am gomedi, straeon am drasiedi, a harddwch bywyd bob dydd. Eu "sain llofnod" yw dawnsio harmoni lleisiol ar we hyblyg o ffidil a gitâr.

Dewch draw i wrando ar eu tonau melys ar gyfer gig Byw yn Martha's nesaf yn Theatr Gwaun.

The Misanthrope

By Martin Crimp

after Molière

Director: Indhu Rubasingham/2026/UK

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.

Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash

becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

Film rating 15 TBC

The Misanthrope

By Martin Crimp

after Molière

Cyfarwyddwr: Indhu Rubasingham/2026/UK

Enillydd gwobrau Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) yn chwarae rôl y pennawd yn ail-lun cryf o gomedi dywyll glasurol Molière.

Nid yw dweud y gwir bob amser mor syml. Mae Alice, nofelydd rhagorol, yn casáu celwyddau wedi’u cynllunio’n ofalus cymdeithas gyfoes. Ond yr wythnos y mae’n herio’r rhai o’i chwmpas, y mwyaf disglair yw’r adweithiau gwrthwynebol. Yn fuan, rhaid iddi wynebu pris dweud ei gwir mewn byd a fyddai’n well ganddo ei thawelu.

Ffilmwyd yn fyw ar lwyfan yn Theatr Genedlaethol, ac mae Indhu Rubasingham yn gyfarwyddo ddrama ddisgwyliedig Martin Crimp (Cyrano de Bergerac).

Have you heard that Moby Dick is coming to town? This year’s Ar Ymyl y Tir On Land’s Edge Festival opens with a spectacular Moby Dick themed lantern parade and we would love as many people as possible to be involved.

Join the team from Small World Theatre for a Lantern Making Workshop (Satuday 19th or Sunday 20th September at Goodwick Scout Hall) and create your own ‘sailing ship lantern’. You can then join us on the parade as all of our ‘fish and ships’ follow Moby Dick through Fishguard!

The lanterns are made using sustainably grown willow with tissue paper glued in place to form the lantern. For some of our younger lantern makers, things can get a little messy, so feel free to bring an apron or suitable clothes of your choice. It will take the whole day to build your lantern, so please arrive on time for a 10:00am start and bring a packed lunch.

The ticket price is £3 for one lantern and the single ticket enables you to attend as an individual (children 11 and over and adults), as a family group (collectively making one lantern) or as a child under 11 with an accompanying adult.

We will store the lantern for you until the parade.

From the play by Orson Welles, adapted from Herman Melville

In 1954, while working on his starring role in the film Moby Dick, the great actor and director Orson Welles wrote a play based on Herman Melville’s novel. The play is set in a New York theatre where a company of actors are rehearsing a production of King Lear. One of the actors has written a play based on Melville’s book, and persuaded the company’s director to let him organise a read-through of the play.

We are opening On Land’s Edge 2026 with a staged reading of an abridged version of the play, using local actors (including some familiar faces in the twin towns). You will thrill as they conjure up the Pequod’s voyage on stormy seas, as the search for whales turns into a desperate hunt for one particular whale. Sail alongside the curious observer and story-teller Ishmael, the upright and conscience-driven first mate Starbuck, and the obsessive, terrifying Captain Ahab.

This amateur production of ‘Moby Dick – Rehearsed’ is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

*  *  *

O'r ddrama gan Orson Welles, wedi'i haddasu o gyfrol Herman Melville

Ym 1954, wrth weithio ar ei brif ran yn y ffilm Moby Dick, ysgrifennodd yr actor a'r cyfarwyddwr gwych Orson Welles ddrama yn seiliedig ar nofel Herman Melville. Mae'r ddrama wedi'i lleoli mewn theatr yn Efrog Newydd lle mae cwmni o actorion yn ymarfer cynhyrchiad o King Lear. Mae un o'r actorion wedi ysgrifennu drama yn seiliedig ar lyfr Melville, ac wedi perswadio cyfarwyddwr y cwmni i adael iddo drefnu darlleniad o'r ddrama.

Rydym yn agor On Land's Edge 2026 gyda darlleniad llwyfan o fersiwn fyrrach o'r ddrama, gan ddefnyddio actorion lleol (gan gynnwys rhai wynebau cyfarwydd o Abergwaun ac Wdig). Cewch eich cyffroi wrth iddynt ddychmygu taith y Pequod ar foroedd stormus, yn chwilio am forfilod mewn helfa anobeithiol am un morfil penodol. Hwyliwch ochr yn ochr â'r sylwedydd chwilfrydig ac adroddwr straeon Ishmael, y prif fêt unionsyth a chydwybodol Starbuck, a'r Capten Ahab obsesiynol, brawychus.

Cyflwynir y cynhyrchiad amatur hwn o ‘Moby Dick – Rehearsed’ trwy drefniant gyda Concord Theatricals Ltd. ar ran Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

Director:  Destin Daniel Cretton/2026/USA/145’  

Four years after Steven Strange’s spell, the world has forgotten Peter Parker.

Now, Peter devotes his life to anonymously protecting New York City as the hero Spider-Man. But as a new crime pattern gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced, the pressure sparks a potentially dangerous physical evolution he may not have the power to control.
