But, gays just wanna have fun

Welcome to the final episode of Season 2 of Memories from the Dance Floor, where we've left the bright lights of London and headed straight up the M4 to Wales. Over the series, we have celebrated LGBTQ+ venues, shone a light on their history and met the revellers taking us through the velvet curtain and into the queer chaos and joy within.

In this final episode, I'm taking us up to the present day. We'll see how the value of our venues has changed, ask how the land of song - Wales that is - has influenced our music, weigh up the importance of regional drag and see what it means to be Welsh and proud in 2024.

It’s a biggie - let's go!

Croeso i bennod olaf Cyfres 2 o Memories From The Dance Floor, lle rydyn ni wedi gadael goleuadau llachar Llundain ac wedi teithio’n syth i fyny'r M4 i Gymru. Yn ystod y gyfres, rydyn ni wedi dathlu lleoliadau LHDTC+, taflu goleuni ar eu hanes a chwrdd â'r rhai a wnaeth ein tynnu o’r ciw ac i mewn i anhrefn a llawenydd y gymuned cwiar y tu ôl i’w drysau

Yn y bennod olaf hon, rydyn ni’n glanio yn y presennol. Cawn gip ar sut mae gwerth ein lleoliadau wedi newid, gofyn sut mae gwlad y gân - Cymru, hynny yw - wedi dylanwadu ar ein cerddoriaeth, pwyso a mesur pwysigrwydd drag rhanbarthol a gweld beth mae'n ei olygu i fod yn Gymry ac yn falch yn 2024.

Mae'n un fawr - amdani!
