VINCENT Paul Garbutt was a man of many guises – folk musician, comedian, social commentator, Catholic, Teessider, citizen, communicator, father, husband, brother, son, grandfather and family man. Known as the Teesside Troubadour, Vin Garbutt’s spirit, charisma, and the impact of his personal and professional orbit has always been, and continues to be, extraordinary. In recognition of this, Mike McGrother (frontman with the Wildcats of Kilkenny) has organised The Gathering: Celebrating the Spirit of Vin Garbutt, an online festival presenting the essence and energy of the artist, with support from the Garbutt family, the Tees Valley Combined Authority and the Mayor’s Award. Saltburn Community and Arts Association is hosting the four-day online event, which takes place from Thursday, March 11, to Sunday, March 14.
