Nigel’s finger-picking is so fast, so smooth, and so laden with sudden virtuoso explosions that it is damn near impossible to work out either what he’s doing, or how he’s doing it.” Tauranga Weekend Sun

About Nigel Gavin

The name Nigel Gavin will be familiar to many within the music community around the world, but for those in New Zealand who haven't heard the name, you will likely know the bands and musicians he's played with: Nairobi Trio, Jews Brothers, Gitbox Rebellion, Lorina Harding, Wayne Gillespie and the legendary guitarist Robert Fripp. He was also featured on the cover of NZM's April/May 1992 issue.

Nigel Gavin appears every bit the virtuoso with his calm, often humorous, manner and his amazing lexicon of musical information.

Loren Claypool	Sep 11 2008 4:14 AM Nigel, I hope this note finds you well. Just wanted to tell you how much I'm digging your latest release "Visitation". Stunning work, sir. I'm particularly enamored with your fretless guitar pieces. I played fretless guitar on five of the tracks on my latest release and it is becoming more and more prevalent in what I do. Your fretless playing speaks to me. All the best, Loren Claypool genre-indifferent instrumental guitar music www. lorenclaypool. com www. myspace. com/lorenclaypool
