Description: Gary’s interest in Country music was kindled in his early teens as he listened to his father's old Kris Kristofferson records and it continued to develop over the years with the newer country sound coming out of America throughout the nineties. Family gatherings provided Gary with a stage to perform some of his favourite country songs and it was here that he first started to perform his own material, soon moving on to the live scene in and around his hometown. The intense and passionate response he experienced from the listening crowds confirmed what he already knew…that singing was his life and a career in music. In recent years, Gary’ self penned songs have been heard on radio stations in his native Ireland, England and Scotland and now, having teamed up with songwriter/producer Phil Haywood of Flashpoint UK this is set to go worldwide, with interest already from Australia and the USA among others. New tracks from the pair are currently in production and the first fruits from teaming up with the influential production house can be heard on the new release ‘TIN MAN’, written by hit songwriters Phil Haywood and Caine Ward and featuring Gary’s distinctive vocals, which has gained acclaim from fans and industry insiders alike.
