Gyda’r twf mewn gwasanaethau sifil, a’r dymuniad i bersonoli’r gwasanaethau, mae cryno ddisgiau priodasol wedi dod yn hynod boblogaidd.
“Hwn yw’r CD cyntaf o’i fath i gynnig y cyfle i’r priodfab a’r briodferch fynegi eu hunaniaeth Gymreig,” meddai Emyr Rhys o Recordiau Aran. “Mae’r darnau arni yn cynnwys alawon gwerin i’r delyn mewn trefniadau gan Nansi Richards – Telynores Maldwyn a John Thomas – Pencerdd Gwalia a chyfansoddiadau gwreiddiol i’r organ gan Karl Jenkins a William Mathias.”

Fe ddaeth yn Ddirprwy Organydd yng Nghadeirlan Henffordd lle chwaraeodd rhan flaenllaw yn yr enwog ‘Three Choirs Festival’. Ers iddo dderbyn ei swydd bresennol yn 1998, mae’n byw yn Llundain efo’i deulu ifanc, ond mae wedi teithio i’r UDA, Canada a thrwy Ewrop i gynnal datganiadau.
Daw tri darn i’r organ o waith y diweddar William Mathias. Bu’n Bennaeth ar yr Adran Gerdd ym Mhrifysgol Cymru, Bangor a’i weithiau eglwysig yn ennyn clod mawr, gan gynnwys darn comisiwn ar gyfer priodas y Tywysog Charles â Diana Spencer.
Yn wreiddiol o Bow Street, ger Aberystwyth, fe astudiodd Carys Owen gerddoriaeth ym Mhrifysgol Manceinion. Yn dilyn ei gradd fe barhaodd efo’i hastudiaethau ym Mhrifysgol Cymru, Bangor, ble yr enillodd ei M.A. ar y testun ‘Cerddoriaeth draddodiadol Gymreig’.

Katie’s memorial CD is a sell-out
Dec 31 2007 by Our Correspondent, Daily Post
WHEN the family of a popular eisteddfod soloist decided to release a CD in her memory little did they realise that demand would exceed all expectations.
Within a matter of days of the Oes o Gan (Lifetime of Song) CD being launched in early December, all 250 copies had been sold.
Now, sales of the CD in memory of soprano Katie Wyn Jones, of Dinas Dinlle, near Caernarfon, are fast approaching 1,000.
Proceeds from the sales go to T Gobaith hospice and St Twrog’s Church, Llandwrog.
“I can only describe the interest as incredible. Sales are now approaching 1,000, after we placed a third order for another 500 with record company Aran”, said daughter Olga Wyn Thomas.
A further order for 500 has now been placed to keep up with demand.
“Mother gained so much joy from music, and from the response to the Daily Post article it soon became clear there are many people out there who were attracted to her very special voice, particularly her hymn solos at eisteddfodau.
“After mother died in March 2005 so many people asked when we would be releasing a CD. In effect our decision was based on obvious public demand.
“On our part the CD has given us so much satisfaction, realising that mother had so many friends. We just did not realise that 1,000 copies would be sold in a matter of four weeks.”
In the passing of Katie Wyn at the age of 84 the eisteddfod scene lost one of its most faithful supporters. She possessed a fine soprano voice, gaining much success as a soloist over many years, first as a child, and then competing throughout her life in eisteddfodau right across north and mid Wales.
The 10 solos include Clyw Ni Fwyn Waredwr, Craig yr Oesoedd, Drosom Ni and Nefol Dad Mae Eto’n Nosi.

CD commemorates Katie in song
Dec 3 2007 by Our Correspondent, Daily Post
FAMILY members of the late soloist Katie Wyn Jones, a faithful supporter of eisteddfodau, have put together a CD of her top songs.
Katie Wyn, as she was known, died two years ago at the age of 84.
Her family have put together 10 of her most popular solos, published under the Recordiau Aran label.
Proceeds will go to Ty Gobaith/Hope House and to St Twrog’s Church, Llandwrog, near Caernarfon.
Katie Wyn lived at Dinas Dinlle and possessed a fine soprano voice, gaining much success as a soloist over many years, first as a child, and then in various eisteddfodau.
She gained much success in the over-60s hymn solo competitions at eisteddfodau, including first prize at the National Eisteddfod on three occasions.
Installed as a member of the Gorsedd of Bards, Katie Wyn travelled extensively to compete, sometimes arriving home as late as 3am, but never missing the 10am morning service at St Twrog’s Church.
Her daughter, Olga Wyn Thomas said: “Singing was very much part of mother’s life – she gained so much pleasure from it, particularly hymns.
“Since her death so many people have asked us to publish a CD of her recorded solo performances.”

Adolygiad Gig Gafyn Buckland- Ty Newydd, Sarn (13/01/07) gan Dafydd Owen i Radio Cymru C2
Dwi wedi chwarae chydig o gigs gyda Gafyn Buckland yn y gorffennol, felly roeddwn i'n ymwybodol o'i set cyn y gig. Mae ganddo declyn sydd wedi ei blygio mewn i'r P.A. sydd yn golygu fod o yn gallu recordio be ma'n chwarae ar y llwyfan a chwarae nhw yn ôl trwy'r P.A., sy'n golygu allith o fod yn sefyll i ffwrdd o'r meic a cymeryd llymad o'i beint tra ma na gitar a llais yn canu trwy'r P.A. Wrth gwrs, mae Gafyn Buckland yn ei ddefnyddio (mwy na teclyn i allu bod yn ddiog) i greu llais neu lleisiau cefndir i'w ganeuon ac i greu cyfalawon ar y gitar, ac ma hynny yn cynnig rhywbeth ychwanegol yn ei set sydd yn eu wahaniaethu rhwng cantorion acwstig eraill. Mae hiwmor llwyfan Gafyn Buckland yn mynd yn wych gyda'i ganeuon hafaidd. Yr unig beth oedd yn bod ar set heno oedd fod P.A. Ty Newydd yn diffodd weithiau hanner ffordd trwy'i set, ac yn amlwg nath hyn amharu ar y set, ond fel arall roedd y set yn dda iawn, ac roedd y gân Saesneg na yn hynod catchy
