Filkin's Drift reimagine traditional melodies through pizzicato grooves, intricate guitar tunes, and boundless improvisation. Their 870 mile foot-powered-tour, described as 'committed and fascinating' by BBC 6 Music's Cerys Matthews, has recently propelled them into the spotlight. This radical approach to sustainable touring has earned the duo global attention from major news outlets including BBC News, Billboard, The i, Radio New Zealand, Canadian Broadcasting Company, and The Times.

The debut album from Filkin’s Drift captures the essence of their 870 mile walk, ‘weaving together a tapestry of shared experiences’ (Songlines). Their compositions are sophisticated, yet rooted in tradition. From delicate Welsh folk-songs to traditional English dance tunes, the pair blend fiddle and guitar with their ‘gorgeous close vocal harmonies’ (Folk Radio UK).

Seth Bye and Chris Avery have earned widespread acclaim with extensive national airtime on BBC Radio 2, 3, 4, 6 Music, and BBC World Service. Renowned for their live performances, characterised as 'utterly mesmerizing' (Bristol 24/7) and 'hugely entertaining' (RnR), the duo have enchanted audiences across the UK including FolkEast, Warwick Folk Festival, St George’s Bristol, and Llangollen International Eisteddfod. Filkin’s Drift are dedicated to exploring innovative avenues in music creation. In tandem with their groundbreaking commitment to sustainable touring, the duo's latest endeavor involves the formation of Filkin’s Ensemble, a 14-piece orchestral-folk band.

Mae Filkin's Drift yn ail-ddychmygu alawon traddodiadol trwy rigolau pizzicato, alawon gitâr cymhleth, a byrfyfyrio diderfyn. Mae eu taith 870 milltir ar droed, a ddisgrifiwyd fel 'ymroddedig a chyfareddol' gan Cerys Matthews o BBC 6 Music, wedi'u gwthio i'r chwyddwydr yn ddiweddar. Mae'r dull radical hwn o deithio cynaliadwy wedi ennill sylw byd-eang i'r ddeuawd gan gyrraedd BBC News, Billboard, The i, Radio New Zealand, Canadian Broadcasting Company, a The Times.

Mae albwm cyntaf Filkin's Drift yn dal hanfod eu taith gerdded 870 milltir, 'gan blethu tapestri o brofiadau a rennir' (Songlines). Mae eu cyfansoddiadau yn soffistigedig, ond eto wedi'u gwreiddio mewn traddodiad. O ganeuon gwerin Cymreig cain i alawon dawns traddodiadol Saesneg, mae'r ddau yn cyfuno ffidil a gitâr â'u 'harmonïau lleisiol agos godidog' (Folk Radio UK).

Mae Seth Bye a Chris Roberts wedi ennill clod eang gyda llawer o amser darlledu cenedlaethol ar BBC Radio 2, 3, 4, 6 Music, a BBC World Service. Yn enwog am eu perfformiadau byw, a nodweddir fel rhai 'hynod hudolus' (Bristol 24/7) ac 'hynod ddifyr' (RnR), mae'r ddeuawd wedi swyno cynulleidfaoedd ledled y DU gan gynnwys FolkEast, Gŵyl Werin Warwick, St George’s Bryste, ac Eisteddfod Ryngwladol Llangollen. Mae Filkin’s Drift wedi ymrwymo i archwilio llwybrau arloesol mewn creu cerddoriaeth. Ochr yn ochr â'u hymrwymiad arloesol i deithio cynaliadwy, mae ymdrech ddiweddaraf y ddeuawd yn cynnwys ffurfio Filkin’s Ensemble, band gwerin cerddorfaol 14 darn.

Golden Keys reimagines the iconic music of James Bond through the lens of vintage jazz, ragtime, and smoky 1920s elegance.

Featuring pianist and vocalist Tony Kieraldo alongside drummer Jack Amblin and vocalist Saara Kaldma — members of Postmodern Jukebox and Down for the Count Orchestra — the show transforms classic Bond themes into dazzling retro arrangements full of swing, intrigue, romance, and old-Hollywood glamour.

In celebration of the 70th anniversary of its release, On Land’s Edge presents a special screening of ‘Moby Dick’, which was filmed right here in Fishguard!

Largely filmed in Fishguard Bay, Moby Dick (1956), directed by John Huston and based on Herman Melville’s great American novel, follows young sailor named Ishmael (Richard Basehart) who joins the whaling ship The Pequod under the command of the brooding Captain Ahab, played by Gregory Peck.

The impressionable Ishmael and harpoonist Queequeg (Friedrich von Ledeber), who befriends him, join the ship’s crew despite the dire quayside warnings of a strange man named Elijah (Royal Dano) who tells them The Pequod is cursed and that all who sail with Ahab will meet their doom.

Ahab’s life is consumed by a vengeful obsession to hunt the giant white whale that maimed him, leaving him with an artificial leg carved out of whalebone.

As the movie unfolds, he leads the Pequod’s crew into a perilous, high‑stakes voyage in grim pursuit of his quarry, blind to the instincts and fears of others.

With powerful performances—especially Gregory Peck’s intense Ahab—and fine supporting roles played by Leo Genn (Starbuck), Orson Welles (Father Mapple) and Harry Andrews (Stubb), Moby Dick remains a gripping, memorable adaptation as the fanatical Ahab follows the great white whale to the ends of the earth on a quest which can only end in tragedy...

I ddathlu 70 mlynedd ers ei rhyddhau, mae On Land’s Edge yn cyflwyno dangosiad arbennig o ‘Moby Dick’, a ffilmiwyd yma yn Abergwaun!

Wedi’i ffilmio’n bennaf ym Mae Abergwaun, mae Moby Dick (1956), wedi’i gyfarwyddo gan ac yn seiliedig ar nofel Americanaidd wych Herman Melville. Mae morwr ifanc o’r enw Ishmael (Richard Basehart) yn ymuno â’r llong hela morfilod Y Pequod dan law Capten Ahab, a chwaraeir gan Gregory Peck.

Mae Ishmael yn un hawdd ei ddylanwadu, ond mae e a’r harpwnydd Queequeg (Friedrich von Ledeber), yn dod yn ffrindiau. Maent yn ymuno â chriw’r llong er gwaethaf rhybuddion difrifol ar y cei gan ddyn dieithr o’r enw Elijah (Royal Dano) sy’n dweud wrthyn nhw fod Y Pequod wedi’i felltithio a bod pawb sy’n hwylio gydag Ahab yn mynd i wynebu eu tynged.

Mae bywyd Ahab yn cael ei arwain gan obsesiwn dialgar i hela’r morfil gwyn enfawr a’i anafodd, gan ei adael â choes artiffisial wedi’i cherfio allan o asgwrn morfil.

Wrth i'r ffilm ddatblygu, mae Ahab yn arwain criw'r Pequod ar fordaith beryglus, llawn risgiau, wrth ddilyn ei ob sesiwn, heb sylwi ar reddfau ac ofnau eraill.

Gyda pherfformiadau pwerus—yn enwedig yr Ahab dwys gan Gregory Peck—a rolau cefnogol gwych a chwaraeir gan Leo Genn (Starbuck), Orson Welles (Father Mapple) a Harry Andrews (Stubb), mae Moby Dick yn parhau i fod yn addasiad gafaelgar a chofiadwy. Dilynwn y morfil gwyn mawr i ben draw'r ddaear ar daith na all ond orffen gyda thrasiedi...

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).
