About Gary Williams
Gary started playing bass at the tender age of 11 under the guidance of his father Brian Williams, who was then a highly regarded session/gigging pedal steel guitarist, so his first gigs were in his Dad’s various country bands.
Other early musical ventures include a Shadows cover band at 13 (!) and then various original & covers bands including Stiff Records signed act Fast Freddie’s Fingertips and Acid Jazz funk band Peachstone then joined Ultravox in 1993. Recorded 2 albums with the band and over 3 years of touring experience throughout Europe and the UK.
