used to see em in Welsh gigs as a teen, like over 20yrs ago! :eek: (so yeah, late 80's!) saw a sort of autobiography of Rhys Mwyn advertised the other day.

yup Gryf Rhys was in one of em.

would love to see 'y Cyrff' again they rocked it :cool:

Yes, Rhys is a true legend and an amazingly nice geezer. i think the Autobiography is in welsh, so not much use to me. After 'Anhrefn' he formed hen wlad fy mamau (land of my mothers, a deliberate twist on the national anthem) they have done some interesting experimental stuff, drum and bass with harps and such like, tend to be a bit hit or miss though. you can find them here... http://www.myspace.com/henwladfymamaulandofmymothers

he has done a hell of a lot for young welsh musicians, really sound geezer (if memory serves, i think he has a column in Big Issue Cymru, 'The Gogs Bollocks' (gog being welsh for north))
 
I was in a band called "dirty raving worldwide squalor":confused::D
should've been "worldwide dirty raving squalor" :D

yup he has. didn't know the link with Hen Wlad fy Mamau, cheers! i got a tune years ago that i reckon is from them, was quite good iirc :cool:
 
Obviously SFA go without saying, but I shocked that we've got to the fourth page without mentioned the mighty Helen Love, Wales' answer to the Ramones. :cool:
