A regular at the legendary Goldmine alongside Chris Hill, and later the owner of Crazy Beat Records in Essex, reformed smoker Gary has got his fingers in more pies than Fray Bentos! What real soul head can forget the Hadleigh Suite in Essex, where he played a blend of funk, rare groove, soul, jazz and hip hop? Such diversity was unheard of then.
