Gavin started his musical career behind the drums, the foundation of his obsession which developed further as the drummer became a self-taught bassist, keyboardist, guitarist and singer, maturing a sound in countless bars from Dublin to Auckland.

The culmination was the 2008 release of 'Guided by Lights, Governed by Numbers', an EP conceived, written, recorded and performed wholly by Gavin himself.

"Gavin Mulhall is another artist avoiding the introspective solo route by creating what is essentially a very fine band sound... Mulhall has an engaging voice, and he knows how to use it to maximum effect. Pick of the Fortnight."- Jackie Hayden, Hotpress 7/5/08

Following the release of 'Guided by Lights', Gavin began gigging regularly with the Slow Eureka Band (Neil O'Brien bass, Stu MacKenzie drums, Derek Lee guitar) and has appeared at venues across Ireland including Roisin Dubh, Crawdaddy, Whelan's and Tripod.

In 2009, Gav decamped to record new material - sounds and arrangements of his new material betraying Gav's intrigue with the songcraft of Brian Wilson and Elvis Costello and textural touches of Radiohead and Delia Derbyshire - with producer Scott Halliday.

Praise for "Magpie's Nest":

"Mulhall's Trip Rock Ballad is certainly not short of doom and gloom but some scrappy guitar soon snaps the Dublin man from his euphonic coma" - Celina Murphy, Hotpress 21/4/10

Praise for "Surrender to Reason":

"A subtle bass line, quirky sparse effects, good harmonies and production make this stand equal with many 'signed' counterparts" - Goldenplec.com 5/8/10

"Diagonal Song" is to be released in March 2011.
