Garry  is Barton Community Band's extremely talented Musical Director. Garry studied music at both Leeds and Birmingham, becoming an Associate of Birmingham School of Music in both performance (French Horn) and teaching. As a freelance professional in London, Garry played with, amongst others, the Doyle Carte ballet company.

As well as brass banding as a ‘hobby’, Garry holds down several teaching posts including Head of Brass at the Hull Collegiate School, Tranby Croft.

Besides playing the Tenor Horn with the City of Hull Band, Garry also finds time to play French Horn for orchestras and theatre companies, and conduct Barton Community Band. Garry was also the Musical Director of the Barton Town Band, and under his stewardship Barton have gone from the 4th to the 1st Section in consecutive years, with promotion to the Championship Section following in January 2011 and then created the Barton Community Band which is now competing in the third section and continues to support youth banding whenever and wherever possible.

Away from brass instruments, Garry is also a talented keyboard player, who has performed professionally in various pit orchestras, including a production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
