About Hywel

My name is Hywel and I'm a British musician. I play guitar, bass and a little mandolin too. I try and sing but it does not sound very good. I have been playing guitar for 20 years and have amassed quite a collection of guitars and equipment. I try and thin down the collection from time to time to make room but I just end up buying more stuff. As you can tell from the tunes I've posted I play many different kinds of music from Space Doom Metal to traditional Irish tunes. I'm currently on a mandolin mission and will be putting down the guitar for a bit and trying to get up to speed on the mandolin.
I am recently married to Jenni and I live in South Wales, I don't drink alcohol, I do smoke and I don't take recreational drugs. I spend most of my time at home reading, watching tv, cooking or using the computer. I'm quite boring really but it makes me happy.
I'm trying to learn to play the mandolin. I have a really nice one made by Moon Guitars in Glasgow. I'm starting lessons soon and I hope to improve. I'd like to meet other mandolin players of any style or tradition. I'm trying to learn some traditional Irish tunes right now.

Hywel's Current Rig consists of a Japanese Paisley Telecaster fitted with Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II pick ups > Boss TU-2 Chromatic tuner > Mango Amplification Fuzztone pedal > Jim Dunlop GCB-95 Crybaby Wah > Boss CH-1 Super Chorus > Boss DD-6 Digital Delay > Peavey Delta Blues 30 watt 1x15 valve amp.

Leigh Thomas	Jun 22 2008 3:08 AM Hey Hywel, I wanted to thank you for accepting my friendship request. Hope you don't mind a total stranger contacting you, but not many people know about my music, so I'm trying to find ways to introduce it to them. I grew up in the Delta regions of the USA, but now permanently reside in Wales - so my music has a bit of a Blues/Alt-Country/Americana/Rock with a dash of Celtic kind of sound to it (I think!). I do appreciate you taking the time to listen... and thanks again for being my friend!! TTYL. Hope you're having a splendid weekend! Graciously, Leigh :-)

GeneratorGar	Dec 29 2007 2:17 PM Like the stuff you are doing - stay in touch. Gigs are filtering through for "Background Noise" and we hope to be doing some soon with "The Generators" - Val has had a few contacts that sound promising. Hope you had a great christmas and have a very rocking new year. Cheers, Gareth
Anglo Saxon	Nov 14 2007 10:30 AM Thanks for comments & support. I have heard many versions of WITJ but your vocals are the least pretentious I have ever heard..Fucking priceless. Love the tracks..get some more up. All the best Gary
Mr Meat Eater	Sep 24 2007 8:33 AM I've listened to your new tune Whiskey in the jar and the singing as you say sucks but the guitar playing is quite good.
Rachel	Sep 9 2007 3:56 AM Thanks for the mandolin praise! I get it so seldomly. Generally i just get bullied in Invocal. Poor me!

Quetiapina	Aug 4 2007 3:48 PM I heard that you were a tree hugging Vegetarian just like Hitler. Is this true?

James Gale	May 23 2007 12:54 PM Hi Hywel - my pleasure, welcome to my friends list! Great to see (and hear) you and Mel last night - meet up with you both again soon I hope. all the best James
Rachel	May 23 2007 12:54 PM Hey - good news! Mandolin has been (nearly) fixed! helen had a look at it, adjusted the bridge and the only dodgy note is the E-string when you play the A. Good enough for me!
Rachel	May 18 2007 9:27 AM Not given up on it - it just needs some TLC i think! If the fret board is very small is that why I can't play it very well...?! (hoping that will be my valid excuse! Not really - i have been practising a bit and am gradually getting better. i'm a good girl!) Maybe when I can play properly i'll invest in a mandolin of my own.
Rachel	May 18 2007 6:50 AM Yeah! and then I bit the head off a chicken and trashed a hotel room! No, Invocal really aren't rock and roll enough for that kind of behaviour, are they?! The "action" seems to have gone - doesn't play in tune (and no, it's not just my bad playing!)
Natalie	May 18 2007 6:36 AM hey howell welcome to myspace love and peace natz xxx
Miss Rosie	May 16 2007 3:18 AM Hello! xx
