About Me

Hey there, I'm a guitarist/ singer from Omagh, Co.Tyrone & play in 3 different bands which all play country twinged rock n'roll style music. A lot of Albert Lee & Dwight Yoakam material mixed with Skynyrd & Haggard for good measure. Omagh is packed full of good musicians who regulary play the healthy circuit here & in the surronding towns. I play Fender guitars & use Fender amps & I'm getting to grips with my B-Bender Nashville Telecaster which is a peach of a guitar. My dream is to play this style of music for the rest of my life & to make enough money so I never have to get a proper job. As a good friend of mine said in St.Louis Missouri 'I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time'.

Sounds Like: The 4 piece band is for now called 'Gareth McGurgan & One Way Out' & we do a lot of tony Joe White, Albert Lee, Merle Haggard & Clapton stuff. We are like a 'funky country band'. The 3 piece is called 'Acoutsic Country Blues' - how did we ever come up with that one? In this band we do mostly country/bluegarss music from the J.D.Crowe band & Kevin Welch to Merle Haggard & John Prine witha few originals like the Long Black Dress thrown in for good measure. The two piece band is Reckless & we do everthing from the Doobie Brothers & Eric Clapton to Dwight Yoakam & John Mellencamp & Vince Gill.
