Pics: Gavin James played J.J. Abrams’ Oscars’ party in LA this morning

2015 is the year of the ginger.

Ed Sheeran seems to be doing alright, Domhnall Gleeson will be the biggest movie star on the planet after Star Wars releases in December, and, having already signed for Capitol Records in January, Gavin James continues to make waves in the US. The Dublin songwriter played J.J. Abrams annual Oscar Wilde pre-Oscars party in LA this morning and it went down well. https://twitter.com/buzzoneill/status/568664701061750784 https://twitter.com/RuthONeill_/status/568657697643450369 The man himself, who this week was confirmed for Sea Sessions in Bundoran, has been enjoying himself in LA this week. https://twitter.com/gavinjames/status/568204642154184706 Star Wars' director Abrams, whose wife Kate McGrath is Irish, throws the Irish-tinged pre-Oscar shindig at his Santa Monica pad and acts The Strypes and Heathers have played it in the past. Other Irish men in attendance included Snow Patrol front man Gary Lightbody (so that's where he's gone) and eh, honorary Irish man, Stephen Fry who was honoured at the event with an award. Was it for making Gay Byrne pull this face? Getting back to Gavin James, here's a snippet from his new video for 'Book Of Love' which was filmed on location in California.
