James’s solo debut is upon us! After 2 years in the making, the concept album ‘Chewing The Fat’ is out today, Friday 26th January. You can order yourself a beautiful copy straight away at: https://jamespatrickgavin.bandcamp.com/
To celebrate, James and the rest of the TEYR team will be launching the album in London at the stupendous Union Chapel in a little over a week. Find out about the album and launch below. Don’t miss the spectacular launch on Monday 5th February.
‘CHEWING THE FAT’ – RELEASE
James (henceforth known as ‘James Patrick Gavin‘ for marketing purposes) has been quietly toiling away on a veritable labour of love. The product is a beautifully honest and imaginative exploration of what it means to be London Irish and a musician between places. Described as “Stunning” by the Irish Independent, it is a musical feast of original tunes and songs.

On show is James’s familiar fiddling and guitar plucking, alongside a guest roster plucked from London’s finest musicians. In total the album includes singers J Eoin, Seamus Gavin and Jez Hellard, bouzouki and bodhrán player Tad Sargent, flautist Órlaith McAuliffe, banjoist Hugh O’Neill, plus the other TEYRites of course.
This unique gathering of some of London’s finest folk musicians presents a rare joining-of-dots between innumerable bands from previous decades. It’s folk music that dances the line between tradition and irreverence, England and Ireland, groove and grace. And lastly, in the most enchanting way, it also weaves together three generations of his own Irish family through sound recordings and interviews.
Go give it a listen! We love it. Or better still buy the album and come to the launch in London!
