Gavin Senn is no more

BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE

Brilliant Saxophonist and outstanding vocalist and keyboard player Gavin Senn has suddenly departed this world for a better place.

The multi-talented musician who thrilled music lovers worldwide succumbed to a kidney ailment which has borne him down over the past few years.

An affable personality on and off the stage, Gavin was endeared by many of his peers in Sri Lanka’s vast music industry and his fans, touring with several bands notably Mirage with whom he played for many years.

Gavin was an old boy of St. Peter’s College Colombo and St. Benedict’s College Kotahena, two schools that produced outstanding musicians in Sri Lanka.

His untimely demise while yet in his fifties was a sad loss to the music world and the void he leaves behind will be hard to fill.

He was cremated on September at the General Cemetry Kanatte on September 14.

May his soul rest in peace.
