Like many radio DJ’s, Gary started his career playing music at weddings and parties, eventually becoming an accomplished entertainer.
His real love, however, was soul and smooth jazz, and for a while in 1982 he became a presenter on Horizon Radio in its early days.
Later in the 80’s, he became a hospital radio presenter, eventually becoming manager of Woodside Radio, Newham General Hospital . For a short time in the 1990’s he joined the pirate station Concept Radio, but was forced to give it up after the “Health Trust†told him that he couldn’t remain as hospital radio manager if he also worked for a pirate station!
