The Gentle Good yw llysenw’r cerddor a’r cyfansoddwr o Gaerdydd, Gareth Bonello. Mae Gareth yn adnabyddus am ei alawon swynol, ei ledrith ar y gitâr a’i drefniadau acwstig hardd. Fel cyn-enillydd o wobrau albwm y flwyddyn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol a’r Wobr Gerddoriaeth Gymreig, mae Gareth eisoes yn gerddor blaenllaw ar y sîn Gymreig.
Portread seicedelig o Gwm Elan ym Mhowys yw albwm newydd The Gentle Good, Elan. Fe’i hysgrifennwyd yn ystod cymrodoriaeth blwyddyn o hyd ymysg Mynyddoedd Cambria. Mae’r albwm yn archwilio tirwedd, hanes a gwleidyddiaeth y cwm, a gafodd ei foddi ar ddiwedd oes Fictoria i greu cyfres o gronfeydd ar gyfer dŵr yfed.

The Gentle Good is the moniker of Cardiff-based musician and songwriter Gareth Bonello. Gareth is known for his enchanting melodies, intricate guitar style and beautiful acoustic arrangements. As a former winner of both the Welsh Language Album of the Year and the Welsh Music Prize, Gareth has long been a prominent musician on the Welsh music scene.
The Gentle Good’s new album ‘Elan’ is a psychedelic portrait of the Elan Valley in Powys, Wales. It was written during a year-long residency in the Cambrian Mountains and explores the landscape, history and politics of the valley, which was flooded at the end of the Victorian era to create a series of reservoirs for drinking water.
