About Me

Garry Allen is a singer/guitarist/songwriter that has been perfoming in many guises for years. The artist formerly known as Sweet Garry (cabaret's Mr Excitement) is donning the acoustic guitar and going all songwritery on us!Mitz Bryant is a mulit-instrumentalist/singer/sound recording maestro. Mitz often takes the 'raw prawn' of a song and seasons and marintes it with his own juices. Tasty bass, piano, harmonies and other sounds can be traced to Mitz.Roderick Greig is a trained classical percussionist and is an expert drummer Rod possesses a fine voice and is a featured lead singer on some of the band's tracks.Michael Doyle is a fine lead guitarist, fiddle and manolin player. Michael is our very own 'boy soprano' and can reach notes never sung by a man before!The bandGarry Allen + GST has been a recording band for over a year and now feels that it's time to play its own covers.Our songs are our children and many children do not resemble their parents, either in looks or personality. This sums up the band.
