The GT Live Sessions are a Guildford-based live music promotion and production company set up by local singer-songwriter and promoter Gavin Thomas. Embracing the flourishing local live music community, the sessions incorporate live gigs, showcase performances, open mic nights, theatrical concerts, and festivals. Gavin’s main aim through the GT Live Sessions is to promote up-and-coming singers, song writers, musicians and bands from the local area. The critically acclaimed open mic sessions give new and developing artists the chance to perform in front of a supportive audience, and to gain experience and exposure.
As well as fostering and promoting other local performers, Gavin performs regularly himself and is also involved in local charity work, using concerts and festivals to raise money for local campaigns and causes. This website endeavours to provide information and examples of what the GT Live Sessions offer. If you need more information than you can find here, please get in touch via the contact page.

Gavin hosts FOUR different acts every Wednesday night, with music from 8.00pm. Free entry.
MAYOR’S AWARD FOR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY
The GT Live Sessions are very proud to report that in May of 2024 Gavin Thomas was presented with the Mayor's Award for Service To The Community. The citation acknowledges the community of musicians created by the GT Live Sessions; the support for local musicians through the GT Showcase nights, the charities supported by the One Winter's Night concerts and One Spring Afternoon festivals, the three decades of Gavin & his Guitar gigs, and the online community created through the resilience of the Songs From The Summer House gigs - from the days of lockdown and still running today.
