About Me

Robin Owen Frederick DymondBorn Ascot, England 1982-PresentRobin Dymond is a guitarist and song writer from Marlborough uk. A former student of the Academy of Music, he is well studied in many different genres such as Jazz, rock and blues music. However after leaving the Academy (2007) he set it upon himself to create an epic instrumental album called 'Spiritual warrior'.Influenced by the musical teachings of Guthrie Govan (guitarist of the year 2006) , Shaun Baxter (guitarist of the year 2005), Steve Yates (guitarist of the year 1998), Rob Tribe, James Shipway, Jamie Humphries and Phil Hilborne. Robin provides a wealth of knowledge from great guitar players to his project. However prior to his intensive studies in music, Robin was a keen historian and he has a ba in classics from Exeter university (graduated 2004).The album has broken new ground by combining different elements of extreme virtuosity as well as tribal chants and flamenco guitar playing.Prior to his solo projects he played in many bands, the most successfull being Twitchey Ratt. Twitchey Ratt (formed 2007) formed out of the remnants of a Metallica tribute band called Pastor of Muppets (formed 2001) who were relatively successfull on the South West gigging circuit. Twitchey Ratt are still together, however, they are in the process of writing new material.Robin has also played with members of Diamond Dogs (2005), Kiss This (2005), Felix(2005/2006), Cover'd (2005)and TribU2te (2006).

My Interests

Music, History: Mainly ancient Greek I really enjoy reading books about ancient Sparta and Macedon, Art: especially giger and my sister Rowena's work.I'm trained to use Photoshop CS through my graphic design job, so I like playing around with the filters a lot and creating cool images. I also like playing the guitar all the time, or at least any chance I get. Take the quiz:
Which Guitar Player Are You?
You are Randy Rhoads! You died before you were ever able to reach your full potential, and you started very young and were a good teacher even in your teens. You were with Ozzy for a number of years before you were killed in a plane crash, induced by your own doing. You will be remembered forever.
