Gavin Edwards, who stole our hearts on The Voice SA Season 1, is making a major career move this week as he announces that he is excited to step in as the brand-new lead singer of iconic rock group Prime Circle.
Earlier this year, Ross Learmonth announced that he was stepping away from the group to after fronting it for 23 years.
“It has been an incredible time with Prime Circle, and I am immensely grateful for the memories we’ve created together,” Ross said at the time. “However, at this juncture in my life, it’s time for me to move on. All relationships change and evolve, and unfortunately, due to creative differences, Prime Circle and I will no longer be continuing this musical journey together.”
Now, after promising fans that this is not the end of the group, Prime Circle are delighted to announce that Gavin Edwards officially joins the group. “Presenting Gavin Edwards as our new singer is a genuine moment of excitement for each of us,” says Marco Gomes, Prime Circle’s bass player and founding member. “Gavin is not only an outstanding musician but also a wonderful person, quickly becoming an integral part of the Prime Circle family.”
With Gavin Edwards on vocals, the band is already set for the release of their first single in March 2024, followed by the global unveiling of the six-track EP titled “The World We Know” in early 2024. “The seamless integration and synergy achieved during this short period serve as compelling evidence that Gavin Edwards is undeniably the right fit for the band,” adds Prime Circle drummer, Dale Schnettler.
With seven multi-platinum albums, numerous accolades, and a global fan base, Prime
Circle remains steadfast in its commitment to the band’s enduring legacy. The band was immensely grateful to witness the loyalty and trust of their fans when, in December
2023, they announced a transition. “Thank you to our fans; your understanding,
continuous support, and cheering us on have played a pivotal role during this time,”
concludes Prime Circle Keyboardist Neil Breytenbach.
