He will indeed and to be honest I think that will be enough for starters - As Gareth is quoted as saying in the begining of the article by Joe Mott - the tracks don't need to reach No 1 to be successful. Gareth's back catalogue all of which were hits and big hits gives him none of the credibility as a musician he craves. Recognition as a songwriter and musician is far more worthy than a No 1 hit that never receives airplay.
I think Gareth deserves this album to be successful but more importantly he deserves his talent to be recognised - he is a talented lad, he is a great musician with wonderful vocals, the tracks I have heard sampled show a depth that he has gained whilst away from the spotlight and the piece de resitance is his ability to interact this time.
Best of luck Gareth for the showcase tonight -
