Press

“Gavin Mart is a songwriter who fills his songs with honesty and not a little melancholy as he looks out at the world and writes what he sees. With an expressive soulful voice that at times reminds me of Paolo Nutini and John Martyn, this collection of songs may be in a style best described as acoustic-driven indie but there's a huge amount of emotion coming through here. At one end of this album the band create atmospheric arrangements for Mart compositions like "Beneath A Cloud" and "Walls Of Stone" and at the other, there's the catchy "Golden" and the memorable "Message To You". The album ends with an elegiac "A Time Will Come" followed by a hidden cover of a famous Pink Floyd song. Always better at flinging out questions into the ether than dealing with solid certainties, Mart is a thought provoking and enigmatic songwriter and this set sees him and his band still moving in an upward trajectory.”

— Mike Rimmer, Cross rhythms

“ABSOLUTE BLISS!”

— Microsoft Windows Media Guide, Microsoft Windows Media Guide

“How has this Stunning work been overlooked before now?!! expect big things... Ronnie Johnson. ”

— Opaque Productions

“The towering set closes with an extremely powerful "Patiently" with its searing climax "Does anybody listen?/Does anybody care?/That every time I speak out/It's just like you're not there." Unforgettable stuff. ”

— Tony Cummings, Cross Rhythms Music Reviews

“Gripping, atmospheric, acoustic sounds carried by a bluesy vocal. Politically driven and passionately delivered, he might be compared to the likes of Elliot Smith.”

— Jon Sandinista, Sandinista Leeds

“Gavski offers philosophical and intellectual expression, in brilliant lyrical content, sent forth - riding on a magic carpet of excellent musicianship! A great listening experience”

— Rick Frost, Reverbnation

“GAVIN MART has a voice and style of writing and playing that shivers me into a state of absolute bliss. Am I alone in this? NO! So let's get him over to the US people. and let love rise above the noise outside your living room door. --Johannah”

— Jo Hannah Afton, Tupelo Superstore and Afton Entertainment Group

“Heartfelt acoustic sounds augmented by a great band. This local outfit make me want to check them out live. Think American Music Club or the more laid back moments of Ellen and the Escapades. ”

— Jumbo Records Leeds, Jumbo Records reviews

"Whatever it is?! Gavin Mart has Got it!!" Cole Moreton (writer, The Independent, The Guardian)

— Cole Moreton, word of mouth

“This is to certify that "PATIENTLY" was a Semi-Finalist in the Adult Contemporary category in the UK Songwriting Contest.”

— UK Song Writing Contest

“Raw?! seems like it doesn't it? Don't be fooled, this guy's writing skills are bubbling away like wildfire just under the surface, there's an experienced soul hidden deep within. ”

— Cut-Out the Noise
