Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Mae bywyd Jude, cerddor sydd â'i yrfa wedi dod i ben, yn siomedig. Llwyddodd ei albwm gyntaf dros nos ond ni fu'r blynyddoedd dilynol yn garedig wrtho.
Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
Life for this self-described 'former musician' has been rather disappointing. Achieving overnight success as a young man with his début album, the intervening years have not been kind.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Stage fright and self-loathing renders him unable to perform and gradually, he disappears. Occasionally mentioned in the odd music magazine or on Reddit as something of a curiosity, and contacted only by the most tenacious of fans, he is - in the eyes of the world, at least - lost. But what happens to 'lost' musicians? Leaving London at the suggestion of his not-quite-girlfriend Anna, he relocates to a small village in West Wales. A stone's throw from Carmarthen (the town in which he was raised by his grandmother Joyce) the village offers something new, albeit in the constant shadow of a Dead Poet. Here, Jude finds himself warmly embraced by the local community, who still remember his early records fondly. A chance play of an old song on an American primetime show offers a lifeline, a chance to make peace with painful things. But a shocking revelation threatens to undo it all. When things begin to fall apart, Jude must decide what is important to him.
