            Gavin is a fine young melodeon player with a strong interest in English & Playford dance music. In 2005 he graduated from the University of Newcastle’s Traditional Music degree course, during which he was presented with the Peter Caller Memorial Award for the best mature student in the University’s music department. He is also a director of  SEFAN (South-East Folk Arts Network).
