Am trying to track down a musician from whom I purchased a CD about five years ago on the streets of Exeter. He played a traditional stringed instrument. I now only have the CD, by "Mr Smythe" called "Make Do & Mend". It is purely instrumental. The CD states it was produced by Slappedtogether Productions Ltd. If this rings a bell with anyone, can you email me at alastair.christie@gmail.com Many thanks, Alastair. |

He was playing an electric mandolin and I thought it was pretty cool. I have it on iTunes now. Haven't heard anything about him since then. Looks like he just disappeared. |

From: GUEST,Andy in USA Here I am listening to ‘wood metal & flesh’, a CD I bought in Canterbury years ago having just parked & heard this amazing sound from round the corner. I assumed there must be a band playing, but no, just Mr Smyth playing a mandolin through an echoplex. I was hoping to hear more, but after I bought the CD he said ‘wicked!’ And packed up. Great to know there’s at least one more album of his out there... I played the CD to my cousin, who said ‘nice, but you’ll never play it again’. Wrong, it’s a gem. |

It's now in my mp3 library. Something about it... comforting, energizing, healing... Like everyone else in this thread I canr find anything more about the artist! |

From: cnd This link (https://www.discogs.com/Mr-Smythe-Make-do-Mend/release/11585136) has an email to contact from the back of the CD - has anyone tried contacting that email? May be dead by now. The back lists an F. C. Smythe and a T. C. Smythe - it could be possible that TC is a member of the band Smythe and Taylor: http://www.smytheandtaylor.com/press.html. This TC Smythe does not have a British accent though, so, it could not be the same one. If not, not sure. There's a few leads you could follow from that Discogs link but it'd take some time to find what you're looking for, I think |
