  Ellis Gwyn Jones
Gwyn, a man of strong convictions with an individual and sometimes absurd view on life, was a hero to the small group of us who were drawn into his orbit.
Gwyn was kind enough to buy a painting and to describe the work as being influenced by the Welsh poetic tradition.
Gwyn had always argued a case for the Welsh dimension in art and design and made the observation when writing about my work, that it was like… ‘A poet writing in ‘cynghanedd ‘– in the strict metres of poetry expressed in colour and line.

 BBC - North West Wales Arts - Gwyn Hughes Jones
Gwyn Hughes Jones has been a star in the world of opera for many years, and has travelled the world entertaining opera lovers.
Gwyn later transfered to the tenor repertoire, and now studies with David Pollard.
Even now, Gwyn's performances of a decade ago are fresh in my mind - having travelled to Wales especially for his performance, then having later travelled to London for his debut, I am reminded that the joy of his performance was well worth trhe effort.

 Amazon.com: A History of the Vikings: Books: Gwyn Jones   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Jones presents a nearly overwhelming amount of detail on the far-flung history of the Vikings, from tribal origins in Scandinavia to their voyages of conquest and trade as far afield as Constantinople and Newfoundland.
Jones also pulls out a surprise at the end of the saga with the indirect Norwegian influence on the Norman conquest of England in 1066, while the Normans had once been Vikings themselves.
Jones is clearly the type of historian who refuses to let any detail or piece of knowledge go unused, giving this book an often oppressive sense of information overload.
