Gavin says: "Like ringing out a dry sponge! I knew I'd get it into something I'd written. I've been very lucky of late to be in the company of Chris Difford of Squeeze writing songs with fellow sponges in Italy, interestingly we were forced to stay for another week because of the volcano.

Tragic but some real gems came out in that second week which you'll soon be able to hear on myspace.com/gavinalex.

I've won songwriting competitions in the past and had one of my songs recorded by the new Flying Pickets (Blossom on Big Mouth). I studied in Newcastle College for a while under James Birkett/Geoff Tooley but it's my love of songs that fulfils me & so I've spent the last few years in the pursuit of that goal. I write and perform on acoustic guitar & sing all my own songs. I am currently collaborating with some notable fellow songsmiths & hope you enjoy taking the time to listen to my songs as much as i did writing them for all to hear."
