From Sheffield, Gavin is a
powerful singer and a fine concertina and guitar player. His recent CD Brief Lives combines traditional
ballads (with stark arrangements which expose rather than obscure the song
- " these songs have been around a lot longer than I have and
deserve to speak a little louder than me" ) with strikingly original song
writing on "False Knight" (a tribute to his grandfather's death
in WW 2) and "Silent Alarm".
With Matt Quinn, a fine
singer, fiddle and melodeon player whose music is rooted in English folk
tradition.
