Gary's career began in the 1960's. His first big gig was working with top British singer Dusty Springfield. This was followed by albums with Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll which included tours of the UK, Europe and the USA.

Gary attended the Leeds College of Music during the 60's and on leaving he joined folk/rock band Eclection which included Gerry Conway (Fairport Convention) and the late Trevor Lucas.

Having left Auger in the 70's Gary began three years of studio work in London which included recording albums, radio and television jingles and film music. During this period Gary worked on albums with Mike Westbrook, Mike Gibbs, Norma Winstone and Keith Tippett. Other highlights include a season at Ronnie Scotts with Amercian sax player Eddie Harris, four albums with Japanese percusionist Stomu Yamashta and an album with Bert Janch.

In 1973 Gary formed jazz fusion band Isotope who recorded three albums and toured extensively in the UK, Europe and the USA.

After Isotope disbanded in 1975 Gary recorded several solo albums, THE DANCER when he first worked with Red Kite boss Martin Levan and ELCTRIC GLIDE, engineered and produced by Martin Levan. During this period Gary was voted New Star in the Melody Maker Poll and THE DANCER won the Pop/Jazz Award at Montreaux Jazz Festival.

From 1980-81 Gary lived in Copnehagen where he recorded two albums, one of which STEPOUT was produced by Martin Levan.

On returning from Denmark Gary formed the trio Triple Echo featuring the Roland Guitar Synth. Other artists Gary has toured the UK with include guitarists Jim Mullen, John Etheridge, German bass player Eberhard Weber and UK bass player Danny Thompson.

Since the mid 80's Gary has been heavily involved with teaching in the North West of England, he currently teaches guitar at Wigan & Leigh College and the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (known as the Paul McCartney school!). Gary has also become involved with traditional folk music and is currently working on various projects.

Regularly working with the trio featured on GAMES, Gary also co-leads the Gary Boyle/Nat Birchall Quartet as well as working in duo and band format with fellow Red Kite Artist, Brigitte Escobar.

The album GAMES renews a fruitful partnership with Martin Levan following a break of over twenty years.
