Thank you so much.” Mr and Mrs Willey - Golden Wedding Anniversary “We just wanted to say a huge and belated thank you for playing at our wedding on 3rd June.

“And not only is he a brilliant singer; he also puts the audience

at ease. A lot of artists are not good at being themselves when not singing – Gary is as relaxed

chatting as he is singing, and he’s funny too. Don’t miss him.”
