About Me

New Page 1

Hi there! Cheers for stopping by!

I'm Gav Ruadh, songwriter and frontman/guitarist for HALLION.

(To all that ask about my last name, it's pronounced "Row" like a boat... People come out with lots of funny ways of saying it. It's Gaelic for the colour red. Given to me by my grandparents due to the deep red hair I was born with.)

If you like what you hear on this page, please add up the band page too on the banner below.

Am an easy going friendly guy, so will reply to any and all messages as soon as I can!
Looking forward to hearing from other musicians, bands and music lovers. Music is my life after all.
Always interested in hearing about other countries and walks of life too.

To get to know me, take a good listen to the songs I write. It seems cliche' but it is really the best way for me to express myself. Anything else you wanna know, ask away.

Take care now!

Best wishes

Gav Ruadh

Oh and if you're leaving any pictures, anything with wolves, Star Wars or flames would be just grand! ;o)
