A free meet-up designed for artists in Kent to chat, collaborate, learn, share ideas and get support. It’s a good time to reflect on the past week and discuss all things creatives.
It’s a simple get together with like-minded creative people supporting each other and an opportunity to get feedback from the group. It’s about building a more robust community for artists and creatives where the support comes from the community itself.
Gavin attended Newcastle College of Music and studied guitar under James Birkett, contributing songs and music to in house and local theatre productions. He developed his harmonic and melodic ideas while studying at G.I.T, London and went on to form a writing band “Why Bother” dipping into Kent’s pool of rich, talented musicians performing as a solo artist around Kent and London.
