Guto Dafydd Pryce (Welsh pronunciation: (:ˈɡɪtɔ); born 4 September 1972 in Cardiff, Wales〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Guto Pryce biography )〕) is a bass guitar player and songwriter in the band Super Furry Animals. With them, he has recorded nine UK Albums Chart Top 25 studio albums, plus numerous singles, EPs, compilations and collaborations. Pryce also records and performs with several other musical acts including his band Gulp. ==Biography== Pryce was in the Welsh-language band U Thant with his brother Iwan Pryce, Huw Bunford (also later of Super Furry Animals), Owen Powell (later of Catatonia) and others in a changing line-up, from 1989 to 1993. He recorded with Catatonia on their first two EPs before Super Furry Animals formed in 1993. Working with dub and reggae label Trojan Records, Pryce put together a compilation ''Furry Selection: Luxury Cuts Of Trojan Chosen by a Super Furry Animal'' in 2007. Pryce recorded ''The Golden Mile'' with The Peth in 2008, a group which features Welsh actor Rhys Ifans on vocals, Super Furry Animals band mate Dafydd Ieuan, Meilyr Gwynedd, Osian Gwynedd, Mick Hilton, Dic Ben and Kris Jenkins. In 2010 Pryce played bass for Spectrum on their US and European tours. Under the band name The Stand, Pryce joined Welsh actor Jonny Owen, Owen Powell (formerly of Catatonia), and Ryan Richards of Funeral for a Friend to record a fundraising single "I'll Be There" in 2010. (Stuart Cable of Stereophonics was involved in the project prior to his death.) Proceeds from sales went to a fund to erect a statue of the footballer Fred Keenor on the Cardiff City F.C. grounds. The song was adapted from the original written during the coal miner's General Strike of 1926 and often sung by Cardiff City fans. Pryce had previously shown his support for the team when the Super Furry Animals signed on as sponsors in 1999, with the band's name displayed on team jerseys. In 2012, Pryce began performing with his partner, Scottish singer and keyboardist Lindsey Leven, under the name Gulp. The band includes Gid Goundrey on guitar, Gwion Llewelyn (formerly of Race Horses and currently of Yr Ods) on drums, with contributions from Gareth Bonello (The Gentle Good) on acoustic guitar and cello. Gulp has performed around the UK, Europe and United States and done several UK radio sessions – including for BBC Radio Wales and Sŵn Radio. They have released the single '"Play'", and track '"Game Love" on the compilation Late Night Tales: Django Django and cover of Django Django's "Hand of Man" on their Late Night Tales compilation. Gulp's debut album ''Season Sun'' was released in July 2014 on Everloving Records in the US and on Sonic Cathedral in the UK. Pryce was part of a rare 2012 concert appearance by English singer-songwriter Mark Fry, honouring Fry's 1972 album ''Dreaming with Alice'', along with Nick Franglen of Lemon Jelly, Nick Palmer of The A. Lords, Grasshopper of Mercury Rev and Martin Smith of Tunng. In 2012, Pryce led music workshops for youth at the charity Grassroots Cardiff Ltd. At Focus Wales 2013, Pryce was a panelist for the Welsh Music Foundation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://focuswales.com/2013/conference/index.php )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guto Pryce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
