Al Lewis

Ar Nos Sadwrn, Ebrill 15fed, 2025 bydd Al Lewis, y canwr/cyfansoddwr o Ben Llŷn, yn cychwyn ar daith unigryw mewn partneriaeth â Thrafnidiaeth Cymru; wrth iddo ymweld â threfi a dinasoedd ar hyd rhwydwaith rheilffyrdd odidog Cymru. Bydd Al nid yn unig yn ymweld a rhannau newydd o’r wlad, ond hefyd yn ymgymryd â dull fwy amgylcheddol a chymdeithasol o deithio, gan ddangos sut y gall cerddorion wneud eu rhan i helpu ni i leihau eu hôl troed carbon.

Mae’n flwyddyn Rheilffordd 200 ond yma y Merthyr rydym yn dathlu treftadaeth Richard Trevithick a ninnau’n dref ble dechreuodd chwyldro rheilffordd a bydd digwyddiadau hanes hefyd yn digwydd ar y dydd gyda manylion i ddod yn fuan,

Mae Al Lewis wedi perfformio mewn digwyddiadau eiconig fel Gŵyl Glastonbury, Gŵyl Gerdd Americana Nashville, Gŵyl Werin Philadelphia, Gŵyl Lorient (Llydaw) a Celtic Connections yn Glasgow ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen yn fawr at groesawu Al Lewis i Ganolfan a Theatr Soar

“Caneuon gwerin â ddylanwad Celtaidd gyda naws o Nashville sy’n ymledu’n ysgafn i’n hymwybyddiaeth.” Rolling Stone (7/10)

“Mae hon yn albwm hyfryd – hynod bersonol, ond hyd yn oed yn fwy effeithiol iddi – caneuon angerddol a chadartig sy’n symud ac yn ysbrydoli yn gyfartal.” Americana DU (7/10)

“Casgliad llawn angerdd roc gwerin, grisiau i catharsis.” MOJO (4/5)

On Saturday, April the 15th, 2025, the bilingual singer/songwriter Al Lewis will, embark on a unique tour in partnership with Transport for Wales; visiting towns and cities all along Wales’ stunning rail network. Al will not only be visiting new parts of the country but also undertaking a more environmental and social approach to travel, showing how musicians can do their part to help us reduce their carbon footprint.

It’s the year of Railway 200 but here in Merthyr we are celebrating the heritage of Richard Trevithick as a town where the railway revolution began and additional heritage events will also take place on the day with details to follow soon.

Al has performed at iconic events such as Glastonbury Festival, Nashville's Americana Music Festival, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Lorient Festival (Brittany) and Celtic Connections in Glasgow and we are very much looking forward to welcoming Al Lewis to Canolfan and Theatr Soar.

“Celtic-influenced folk songs with a slight Nashville feel which gently creep into our consciousness..” Rolling Stone (7/10)

“This is a lovely album – incredibly personal, but all the more effective for it – passionate and cathartic songs which move and inspire in equal measures.” Americana UK (7/10)

"A collection rich with folk rock passion, a stairway to catharsis.” MOJO (4/5)
