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 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 until finally went pro after successfully auditioning for Ultravox in 1992. Recorded 2 albums with the band and over 4 years of touring experience throughout Europe and the UK.

Following this, Gary has kept very busy performing with various artists & bands plus recording sessions & dep work.
