From the age of 11, Gary began writing songs imitating those of his idols, Lennon & McCartney, Elvis, Crowded House and the legends of Motown. "Well it's got to be said his album 'The Cabinet Maker' is just awesome, easy listening, heavenly lyrics, honey voices and the most sublime instrumentals and guitar playing I've heard! "

Whilst studying woodcarving and cabinet making at college, his passion for music continued and Gary joined the band, ‘Day Without Rain’. The band played many of London’s iconic venues and the lure of the big city proved too much when, in his mid-twenties, Gary moved to London. The best art imitates life and Gary soaked up the atmosphere of the capital for the next five years, a time which saw the twin events of the joyous birth of his son and the breakdown of the relationship with the mother of his child. These incredible highs and lows brought about a drive to write more and more original songs. Trips to America and chance meetings have brought about great contacts and lasting friendships and the confidence to put together Gary’s debut album – The Cabinet Maker.
