Description
A melting pot of styles and glorious songs, multi-instrumentalist Huw Mâ€™s debut album Os Mewn Swn (If in Sound) is an â€˜infectious, irresistible slice of pop lovelinessâ€™.
Huw M is Huw Meredydd Roberts, an artist who takes his craft seriously. Influenced by music from both France and Brazil, Huw brings together a myriad of instruments, including the banjo, ukulele, sitar and Maui Xaphoon to create his unique blend of folk pop and electronic sounds. Os Mewn Swn introduces you to a showcase of original and traditional
There are numerous highlights to this release, one of which is a new version of the beautiful Michelle Michelle, which was originally released to raise money for the Wales Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign, with his friend Llwyd (Erddin Llwyd). Huw Mâ€™s initial inspiration comes from everyday things â€“ the sock drawer, the smell of food in the kitchen, missing the train or a dripping tap. Huw said, â€œOne of my favourite tracks is Y DrÃ´r Sy'n Dal y Sanau (The sock drawer), a track that deals with our habits and practices, things that are part of our daily routine, things we donâ€™t even notice.â€? 2009 was a busy year for Huw M with numerous performances in festivals such as End of the Road in Dorset, SWN, Bang Bangor and the National Eisteddfod, amongst other gigs. Huw has also received an award for the 2009 Best Solo Artist in the Welsh music magazine Y Selar, and both the â€˜Best Composerâ€™ and â€˜Best Male Artistâ€™ in BBC Radio Cymruâ€™s RAP Awards.
