Gavin Osborn & MJ Hibbett

Event information

Gavin Osborn sings about break-ups and girls. And occasionally, burgers, clown-costumes and cryogenic freezing. A lyrical feast for the wistful, the hopeful, the lovelorn and the losers. In his own words.
He has recorded three albums for Banquet Records; In The Twee Small Hours, Meeting Your Heroes and Come On Folks, Settle Down. He is regularly on BBC Radio 4, has co-written heart-warming midnight story-shows with comedian Daniel Kitson, with whom he toured the UK in 2010, supporting indie legends Belle & Sebastian.

“Simultaneously hilarious and heart-rending songs about the difficulties of love in a modern world” - The Independent

“Gavin Osborn writes minutely detailed, bittersweet story songs on his acoustic guitar and sings them with a comic timing usually absent from his anti-folk contemporaries” - Stewart Lee, The Sunday Times

MJ Hibbett has performed live on Radio One, had a Record Of The Year in Rolling Stone, an Album Of The Day on 6Music, released one of the first ever viral videos, toured all around the world, very narrowly avoided writing an autobiography, and taken five productions to the Edinburgh Fringe, all independent of record companies or management. He doesn't expect a medal for it, though a pint would be nice
