Gary with his beloved band, NEW SOUND HURRICANE FORCE. A 4 year relationship which saw him play not only steeldrum lead in this very good Caribbean function band, but also the keyboards chords and Brass parts (including all the band arrangements, riffs and breaks, intros etc....).
Funny Story: The band always wore multicolored shirts to give that Caribbean feel. On this particular day, by coincidence, everyone turned up wearing the same colour shirts (apart from Batson the singer).
David Batson with Gary to his left. Hurricane force performing at a wedding reception (with those shirts)!!
