Guest Chris Waterman Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Gary sold up mid-80's and moved on from what i remember. Not sure where he is now thoug. Great DJ, broke many toons link Gary now travels home and away with Man U, not really interested in DJing anymore have booked him twice in the the last year and both times he pulled out at the last min, I was gutted but still think he was a top DJ and is top bloke.

Wiganer1 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Very highly underrated dj Gary packed up djÂng at Stafford,when Kingy got involved (wonder why) pity really because he was really playing some good stuff at the time,always had some really good laughs with him and Julie(who could drink like a fish!) responsible for breaking a lot of good tunes early eighties,Bobby Valentine,Lee Bates,Little Stanley(stran) a couple that come to mind from Stafford. Good taste in music but really shit in football teams. Steve link ============= was listening to GR from a live tape from wigan just the other day and was just thinkng he was playing way ahead of his time he had cecil washington,magnetics,custers last band etc spinning in 1980 never really listened to him in the early days as i was just getting into oldies etc but i agree with the others a great underated dj at the time... always seemed to play his own brand of uptempo stuff...but i dont think hes got the records now has he?

Would have have been ideal for Stafford when it kicked of properly but as Steve says he just packed in. Also top bloke, always had time to talk about records. Dean Anderson still travels to football with him these days I think. Cheers Jock Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
