Mac
Says... when I met my wonderful wife Louise some 25 years ago
and with her getting to know my artistic interests, she insisted
I meet the Mayhew’s, Gavin & Cherry, the rest is history,
we have been great friends ever since as well as after many
years we have saved up enough money to be the proud owners of
2 of Gavs masterpieces.
There are few real people on this planet, the Mayhew’s
are in my reckoning as one of the few!
I could say millions of wonderful things about Gav but my primary
comment, being a musician, is that Gav is the finest dancer
I have ever seen, Gav feels music to the point where every part
of his body expresses the tune/song so beautifully hence his
artistry on canvass is exceptionally magnificent. There are
Artists and then there is Gavin Mayhew! Check out some of his
paintings and visit these websites.

WHO
IS GAVIN MAYHEW ?
I am a long
suffering artist and have three gorge daughters, a fabbo wife
and my own garrett to starve in. Although my art work is quite
varied I want to show off my weirdy stuff to all of those art
lovers out there. Most Galleries and the art establishment really
piss me off as some of the so called experts are a set of dick-heads.
I want you, the real people out there to appreciate my quirky
werky, so let me know what you think. As well as images of my
favourite works, I hope to enclose some images from an illustrated
eco book that I wrote years ago. Unfortunately my fears for
the environment have started to come true. My problem is that
when I was younger I had some fantastic ideas for paintings
- ideas that I now see young artists attempting to produce.
I was ahead of my time. Now I'm older-I'm past it. So I've decided
to girdle my loins and give it one last blast to see if I can
become belatedly famous. The book is called Lord Muck and symbolises
the greed of mankind in the form of a Victorian industrialist.
But don't get me wrong - I'm not all gloom and doom as I am
one barmy bugger who loves life, a good laugh, and partying
My ambition is to die while dancing my odd socks off to the
'Funky Chicken', 'Mr. Boombastic' or 'Here Comes de Judge' by
Pigmeat Markham.
Gavin Mayhew
is an artist based in Westgate, Weardale, Co. Durham. England.
His recent work expresses the movement of dance and music following
live sketch sessions. It is the vitality of life as seen through
dancers and musicians that presently influences his work.

scheme which resulted in two exhibitions staged in Tübingen,
Germany.
Following two successful exhibitions in the U.S.A. in February,
1999 he was invited back to the States to show his paintings

HANNAH
JONES
I met Hannah
with her husband Bill in 2005, they called to book tickets for
a Jazz event I was holding in their home-town. They are just
lovely lovely people, there is Joyfulness and then there
is Hannah, "Boundless Joy". The rest is history,
we have been friends ever since. Check out the details below
about Hannah and visit www.almightyrecords.com

Hannah performed with Tim Garland's Northern Underground Jazz
Orchestra a few times last year and may do so again in the near
future. Northern Underground Jazz Orchestra - A new version
of Garlands long standing 9 piece, this 14 piece band features
some of the finest players in the North of England along with
top players from London, with an agenda of playing not just
Garlands own celebrated compositions but new commissions from
around the country. The project often features soul diva Hannah
Jones. www.timgarland.com
Don't

I know all your tricks
Don't toy little boy with me
I spit out guys like you, for kicks

Hannah Jones
is one of Britain’s most talented performers. With her
unique and gutsy powerhouse vocal she is one of those true divas
who has stood the test of time. Hannah is an artist who can
really cut it live! She is a truly great performer and is constantly
in demand for personal appearances all over the world. In the
States Hannah has enjoyed considerable success.
HANNAH JONES
Sang before she could talk. Once described ( the voice as big
and as impressive as the Empire State Building) boy George saw
Hannah on the Channel 4 Programme “The Word” and
was inspired to write and produce some songs for her. She sang
with Elton John on a track called “The Man who will Never
Die” and raised considerable funds for the Terrance Higgins
Trust.
Word spread that HANNAH was hot property and soon many established
writers were lining up to offer her songs.
Her strongest sales territories, to date are America, Australia
, Spain, Austria, France, Ireland, Holland, South America, Japan,
Russia and of course the UK. ( sold over 500,000 copies of the
“Queer as Folk” Album).
The Album
“RISE” is proving to be one of her biggest Hits
in the U.S.A. Hannah goes from Strength to strength and just
can’t do any wrong in America. “YOU ONLY HAVE TO
SAY YOU LOVE ME” was voted the fourth most popular dance
track of all time.
Here in the UK her biggest hit was “BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED
WATER” which dominated the charts for at least 7 weeks.
Her reputation as a live performer is cast in stone. Nobody
does it like Hannah. Her empowering attitude on stage is something
you just can’t ignore. She brings warmth and passion to
every performance. Visit www.almightyrecords.com
