Gavin James: "I was absolutely twisted on stage at Electric Picnic for the first time"

And now he headlines the 2019 Today FM Sound Garden It's impossible not to love Gavin James. He's great craic, warm, cuddly, has the voice of an angel (sooooo soothing) and songs that are simply beautiful. Today, Gav announced that he is the Friday headliner for the Today FM Sound Garden at Electric Picnic, and we cannot wait to see him do his thang. Baz Ashmawy (who's covering on Dermot and Dave) was buzzing to have the red-haired songsmith in studio to reveal the news. Gav treated us to a couple of live performances, where he sang Only Ticket Home and his new one Faces, and admits to having a few too many at his first EP, "I was absolutely twisted on stage at Electric Picnic for the first time". God bless the cans! New @GavinJames ?❤️ Our @EPfestival headliner Gavin James stopped by to perform his brand new single 'Faces'.
