About Me

Born Gary Edward Page in a front room in Whitbread Avenue, Bedford in the mid 70s, the Page family relocated in the mid 80's to Eastbourne for a life by the sea.
It was at Secondary School that G decided he quite fancied the idea of playing the drums. Part of the attraction was that it could excuse him from Religious Education class.
Upon leaving school, his first band, the Jovial Jesters were formed. Unfortunately they had split by the time college had started the following September....they never played a gig.
The next six years went by in a haze of tea, biscuits & The Smiths. By this time the aspiring songwriter had taught himself enough chords that he could create his ultimate goal, POP SONGS.
In 2003, G decided it was time to finally play a live gig. That gig was the first of two acoustic shows in Brighton in one day and all for charity. Not exactly Phil Collins at Live Aid, but it was a start.
In 2005 East Magazine ran a favourable review of Gs gig at Café Blue. "Gary Page's songs are good, classic POP SONGS."
In April of 2006 G supported Q Magazine's fave Duke Special at the Underground Theatre in his native Eastbourne.
On hearing a CD of G's songs, Chris Difford of the legendary band Squeeze remarked that the tunes were "really good."
G is also part of David Ford's live band and has contributed to his recordings and videos.
In May 2009, after many months and hours locked away, G surfaced with his first mini album Folk Devils and Moral Panic. The album features contributions from David Ford and Max Arnold from The Late Greats.
