Global stardom awaits Gavin James as he lights up Live at the Marquee

Is Gavin James inevitably bound for global stardom? For last night’s ecstatic young Live At The Marquee fans, he’s clearly already there. When every single person in this capacity, high-profile venue canonises his quest, it does seem like you’re watching an unstoppable train. One thing is for sure, you’d have to go a long way to hear a sweeter voice.

He has a powerful range, his delivery is hugely emotionally charged, and he effortlessly whips everyone in this heaving tent into a poetic carnival fervour.

There’s no denying the beauty of his own songs. There’s great maturity in the lyrics of songs like ‘For You, Nervous’ and ‘Coming Home’.
