Creep - FREE ENTRY!
   
Gary joined Portsmouth based rock band 'The Mafia' in 1988 when he was 17, and gigged with them about 4 times a week in various pubs, clubs and at least once a month at an American Airforce Base, somewhere in the country. These gigs were fantastic... big stages... lots of lights... big p.a.. and loads of people! Best pub gigs at the time were the Salutation in Portsmouth, which he played every Monday night and The Canute in Southampton which was a regular weekend gig for the band, and Gary thought it was great to see many of those people that used to come and see the band there were also at the first creep gig. In 1990 he left The Mafia to concentrate on his other band, Quikken, which was an original rock/metal band. This eventually led to the fantastic experience of a 2 month tour of California. The band stayed together for a few years, but a call from The Mafia asking if he could fill in for a while resulted in another 15 year stint with The Mafia. He finally left The Mafia in September 2006 due to his decision to move to France. However, before he finally relocated he was propositioned by the bassist from NV, David Marshall, who, due to the imminent demise of NV, was in the process of putting a new band together, which included the vocalist from NV, John Baker, and Gary was top of David's shopping list for the guitarist position in the new band. After checking out the logistics of commuting from France to do gigs Gary decided to accept the offer.
