Episode 207 is in conversation with actor, singer and musician Gary Bennet. Finding his passion for rock music at a young age, Gary became an accomplished guitarist and songwriter, with his band Solus enjoying success recording and releasing music, as well touring the UK and Ireland. Discovering a love of theatre, he eventually took the decision to retrain and pursue a career in musical theatre, having had extensive experience performing with Glasgow amateur group Pantheon. With a host of professional acting credits including River City and The Steamie and One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest with AJ Productions, in more recent years Gary has starred in the hit musical Choir of Man, not only aboard luxury cruise liners but in Coventry and London, in addition to a one-off performance at the Edinburgh Fringe. With dedication to his craft and a strong work ethic, Blantyre-born Gary’s talents have taken him on quite the adventure to date, as he continues to embrace the opportunities that come his way. Lead singer for over 14 years with Cosmopolitan Big Band, Gary has also performed up and down the country with The Jerseytones and produced his own Michael Buble tribute show. With hard graft, skill and his positive attitude, Gary goes after what he loves most in life- entertaining others!
