Gary started playing cornet at the age of 8 with his local brass band, however it wasn't until he left school that he took a real interest in music. He quickly developed a taste for jazz and joined his first band in October 1986.  Soon Gary was performing with many local bands and by 1990 was appearing at jazz festivals in the UK and Europe.

He now works as a freelance musician with bands in a variety of Jazz styles and has performed along side many top UK jazz names such as Alan Barnes, John Dankworth and Roy Williams. Gary started his own quartet in early 2004 to feature his smooth vocals and his Chet Baker inspired trumpet.

Jazz as a Metaphor For Business Teams

Gary has developed a corporate team building event using Jazz as a metaphor and successfully delivered this to 2 companies since April 2010. A website is being prepared and there has been a great deal of interest. If your company needs to be better at dealing with change and your teams need to think 'outside the box' then contact Gary for a fun and novel approach to team building.
