SEAN GAVAGHAN

Anyone and everyone involved in Irish music circles knows exactly who Sean Gavaghan or "Gav" is.

He is as comfortable belting out tracks from Johnny Cash to Christy Moore. A fine showman to boot.

They've hit the charts on a number of occasions with Both The Aftermath and Cronin as well as featured on film soundtracks.
