About me: I'm a radio DJ and song writer. For the music demos, please click on the garyburtonsongs pic. You can get the latest info and listen live to my 106.6 Smooth Radio breakfast show, accross the East Midlands at:

My two biggest passions are music and travel. Luckily, I happen to like most styles of music and can appreciate even those that I don't totally get. I have also had the pleasure and luxury of being able to visit some really cool places.
I'm married to Terese who is from Youngstown, Ohio but is an adopted New Yorker, having lived there for over 20 years. We now live in Nottingham, England. A small bear named Polski lives on our bed.
I grew up in Derby, where my parents and brother and sister still live. I have spent time living in Manchester, Leeds and London. And, of course, NYC.
My activities outside of work include watching far too many trashy TV shows, enjoying movies, theatre and ballet (yes, it's true) and doing the gym thing or running.
Oh, yes...and eating and drinking in nice places with great company.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
