GAVIN MART AND THE SATURDAY VANDALS - GOLDEN
For whatever reasons Gavin has been under the radar for the past three and a half years, now with this album, he is sure to be figuring highly on the radar of all good music judges.
From the opening seconds of the album, Gavin’s sharp as Sheffield steel voice, instantly stops you in your tracks, add a band of exceptional musicians and it’s a music journey which at times, hits you straight between the eyes with its high-energy tracks to the softer and highly personal and poignant tracks.
With a long musical background of which he constantly draws on, Gavin gives the listener a full range of styles, from the brilliant fast-paced title track “Golden” and “Baby Boomer” to the band harmonic “Every Time I See You” and “The Reason Why” through to the wonderful story-telling style, coupled with beautiful lyrics on “Walls Of Stone” and “Beneath A Cloud”, before finishing off with a John Lennon style piano and delivery composition of “A Time Will Come”.
With “Golden” already in pole position as my track of 2011 and a highly recommended 13 track CD, this will surely herald a “Golden” era for Gavin and the Saturday Vandals. An awesome album with a WOW factor of 10.

A special mention must also be made of the exquisite and wonderful art work on the album by artist Si Smith.
