Gary Stewart

Gary Stewart is a singer/songwriter from Perth in Scotland who cut his teeth performing on the Leeds
music scene, before moving to York where he currently resides. Stewart writes songs in the Folk/Pop
style and is influenced primarily by the prominent singer/songwriters of the 1960's and 1970's, with

Paul Simon as his biggest inspiration.

The Scottish Songsmith has released four Albums to date, with his latest offering, 'Use It Or Lose It',
released in October this year. The Album was recorded in a little barn studio in The Yorkshire Dales
and features collaborations with Seth Lakeman, David Ford, Alex Hart, Ellie Gowers, The Magpies
and Graham Coe (Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys). The left-hander is also no stranger to the Festival
circuit, having played Kendal Calling, Green Man, Deershed and Beardy Folk Festivals to name but a few.

When not performing and recording his own music, the multi-instrumentalist busies himself playing
bass for Leeds-based Fleetwood Mac Tribute, Weetwood Mac (ex-Ellen & The Escapades) and fronts
his own reworking of Paul Simon's Classic Album, 'Graceland', with a seven-piece band who have
played many a Theatre and Festival, including Shrewsbury, Towersey, Costa Del Folk, Moonbeams

and Underneath The Stars.

Tonight, Gary will be playing songs from his new Album, ‘Use It or Lose It’, joined onstage by David

Ford, Ellie Gowers, Alex Hart and Sam Lawrence.
